Nguyen Filip received a huge amount of interaction after the exclamation: A painful lesson!

Although the Vietnamese team could not score points against Malaysia, goalkeeper Nguyen Filip still deserves praise.

Nguyen Filip and deep sadness

The 2024 Southeast Asian Football Championship (AFF Cup) is the arena where the Vietnamese team made a strong impression, when they won the championship for the third time in history. For Nguyen Filip, he won the first championship with the Golden Star team since his naturalization, but that was also a period that witnessed the low point of the goalkeeper with Vietnamese - Czech blood. In the journey to win the 2024 AFF Cup championship of the Vietnamese team, he only played in 2 matches (out of a total of 8 matches). Nguyen Dinh Trieu was the main character, who shone and won the title of best goalkeeper in the region.

On the occasion of FIFA Days in March, Dinh Trieu continued to be trusted when he and the Vietnamese team defeated Cambodia (friendly match) and Laos (first match of the final qualifying round of the 2027 Asian Cup), while Nguyen Filip did not participate due to personal reasons. However, losing the No. 1 goalkeeper position under coach Kim Sang-sik did not discourage him. Instead, the "goalkeeper" born in 1992 has constantly made efforts in the Hanoi Police Club to regain his form, proving his ability in the V-League as well as the 2024 - 2025 Southeast Asian Cup C1. The 33-year-old goalkeeper played extremely well, especially in the regional tournament, where the police team could not win the championship because of less luck than Thailand's top club, Buriram United.

Nguyen Filip's efforts were rewarded, when this goalkeeper received a reward as the main goalkeeper for the Vietnam team against Malaysia last night, June 10, an extremely important match for coach Kim Sang-sik and his team in their goal of winning a ticket to the 2027 Asian Cup finals. It is understandable that Mr. Kim put his trust in Nguyen Filip in this match. When the Vietnamese-American goalkeeper is in good form, he is the most reasonable choice to confront a Malaysia that has "transformed" with many naturalized players who are tall and often use high balls. Compared to Dinh Trieu, Nguyen Filip has an ideal body with a height of 1.92 m and a long arm span. Not only strong in aerial battles, Nguyen Filip also has the advantage of being able to play with his feet and launch quick attacks, very suitable for the Vietnam team's defensive counter-attacking style. He did not disappoint coach Kim Sang-sik, at least with his individual performance.

At least 4 times in this match, Nguyen Filip transformed into "spider-man" and saved obvious goals. It can be affirmed that he was the best player on the Vietnamese team. However, that was not enough for Mr. Kim and his team to avoid a 0-4 defeat against Malaysia, which was too strong with players of Brazilian and Argentine origin... To be fair, Nguyen Filip is good... but still unlucky in the Vietnamese team's shirt. This reminds me of the time when he first became naturalized, when the yellow star team was led by his predecessor, Philippe Troussier.

After losing to Malaysia on the evening of June 10, this morning, Nguyen Filip posted an exclamation on his personal page: A painful lesson.

The audience can understand his feelings at this moment!
