" Filip Nguyen is in the process of applying for Vietnamese citizenship. I have observed that his performance is stable. Filip also has experience playing in Europe. I am sure that this is a quality addition to the national team. The Vietnamese team has many good goalkeepers, whoever performs the most impressively will be chosen as number 1. Besides Filip, I hope the door will open for many other players ," Mr. Troussier commented on the goalkeeper of the Hanoi Police Club.
Filip Nguyen returned to Vietnam to compete in the second half of the 2023 V-League. He performed well and together with the Hanoi Police Club aimed for the championship for the first time in history. Mr. Troussier believes that Filip Nguyen's presence will open a wave of overseas Vietnamese players returning to the country.
Mr. Troussier highly appreciates Filip Nguyen's ability.
" He is the premise for overseas Vietnamese players to apply for citizenship. To improve the quality of the national team, we must upgrade facilities, coaching skills, train young players and attract players of Vietnamese origin. Morocco, Algeria or teams in other continents are doing this. Even Thailand, Indonesia, the Philippines or Japan are doing the same ," Mr. Troussier shared.
In the September training session, Coach Troussier called up 6-7 new faces, the rest were players who had performed in the June training session. The Vietnamese team practiced at the VFF youth training field before moving to Nam Dinh to play a friendly match with Palestine on September 11.
At the same time, the Vietnam U23 team participating in the 2024 U23 Asian qualifiers also gathered before competing in Phu Tho. After this tournament, Mr. Troussier will mix the squad to find the best players for the national team to compete in international friendlies in October.
