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

Although the Vietnamese team could not score 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 of time 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 won against 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 position of number 1 goalkeeper under coach Kim Sang-sik did not discourage him. Instead, the "goalkeeper" born in 1992 has made constant 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 they were less fortunate than Thailand's top club, Buriram United.

Nguyen Filip's efforts were rewarded, as the goalkeeper was rewarded with a starting position for the Vietnamese 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. It is understood 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 face a Malaysian that has "transformed" with many naturalized players who are tall and often use high balls. Compared to Dinh Trieu, Nguyen Filip has an ideal physique 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 Vietnamese 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 a "spider man" to save 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 not lucky in the Vietnamese team's jersey. This reminds me of the early days when he was naturalized, when the Golden 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!
