Conceding 4 goals against Japan, Nguyen Filip admits shortcomings

" I am disappointed with the loss today, but I am also proud of my teammates for playing very well against the top opponents in the continent. We took the lead at some points but could not maintain the result. No matter the result, I am always proud of my teammates, " Nguyen Filip shared after the match between the Vietnamese team and the Japanese team.

The match against Japan was also Nguyen Filip's debut in the Vietnam national team. He conceded 4 goals, all of which were difficult shots from the opposing players.

"I had to concede four goals, so I have many regrets, especially the situation that led to the third goal of the Japanese team. I should have kept the ball longer, so that my teammates could have a little more time to rest. I was hasty when choosing the goal kick. If it weren't for this move, the first half could have ended in a draw and Japan would have been more tense. At that time, I don't know what would have happened," Nguyen Filip regretted.

Four goals conceded by the Vietnamese team against the Japanese team.

The Vietnamese team lost early in the match. From a corner kick on the right wing, Nguyen Filip rushed out but could not control the situation. Bui Hoang Viet Anh's clearance accidentally created an opportunity for Takumi Minamino to score the opening goal of the match.

Having to chase the score, the Vietnamese team rose strongly. The "Golden Star Warriors" got 2 consecutive goals from Nguyen Dinh Bac and Pham Tuan Hai to take the lead. But in the last 10 minutes of the first half, Minamino and Keito Nakamura scored consecutive goals to help the Japanese team take the lead for the second time.

Nguyen Filip is not satisfied with himself.

The goalkeeper born in 1992 had a good match with many impressive saves. He won 3 face-offs against the Japanese players. However, Nguyen Filip was still not satisfied with himself for what happened. He blamed himself for the decision that he thought opened up opportunities for the Japanese team to score.
