In the article, the Chinese newspaper praised Filip Nguyen's European class. The newspaper wrote: "Filip Nguyen is about to successfully naturalize, to increase the strength of the Vietnamese team. This goalkeeper is playing for the Hanoi Police Club after a long time playing in Europe for Slovacko or Slovan Liberec.

Filip Nguyen's strength is not inferior to China's Wang Dalei and Yan Junling. Although he was once called up to the Czech Republic national team, Filip Nguyen is finally about to wear the Vietnamese national team jersey.

This player is learning Vietnamese to prepare for Vietnamese citizenship. This player is very experienced and physically fit. He is among the top goalkeepers in Asia. Filip Nguyen's class has been recognized.

The Vietnamese team has not played well in recent friendly matches, conceding 10 goals in three matches. The appearance of Filip Nguyen will help the Vietnamese team increase its strength significantly."

Newspaper 163 talked about the importance of Filip Nguyen to Vietnamese football. The newspaper added: "The naturalization of Filip Nguyen is important to the development of Vietnamese football. As a naturalized player, this player helps increase competition in the Vietnamese national team.

This will help Vietnamese football achieve better results in the future. The opportunity to participate in major tournaments with the Vietnamese team will increase."

This newspaper expressed sadness when seeing the Vietnamese team having a "quality" goalkeeper. They added: "The goalkeeper position of the Chinese team is relatively weak. Most of the goalkeepers are over 30 years old.

Hopes like Li Hao and Liu Shaoziyang need to develop faster in Europe. We hope the Chinese team can nurture young goalkeeper talent so that the team has more options."

According to Filip Nguyen's father, this player can complete his naturalization in November. It is likely that he will have to wait until the 2023 Asian Cup (taking place in January next year) to have the opportunity to wear the Vietnamese national team jersey.
