The competition between Nguyen Filip and Dang Van Lam will be very interesting.
Since receiving Vietnamese citizenship, Nguyen Filip has played for the national team 8 times. He has not had a single win with the Vietnamese team, only 1 draw and 8 losses. The Czech-born goalkeeper has also not had any clean sheet, conceding 23 goals. But in reality, Nguyen Filip still has many excellent saves, showing his strengths such as the ability to enter and exit, catch high balls and handle the ball with his feet. Unfortunately for this goalkeeper, he joined the national team at a time when the Vietnamese team was weakening but had to compete in harsh tournaments. The opponents that Nguyen Filip and his teammates had to face were mostly very strong. They were the giants of Asian and world football such as Japan, Iraq, and Russia. They were an Indonesian team that had almost "transformed" with a squad of naturalized players and a Thai team that played increasingly cohesively under coach Masatada Ishii.
Nguyen Filip
Nguyen Filip's performance in the 2024-2025 V-League season is also very good. Although the mainstay center-back Bui Hoang Viet Anh was often absent in the early stages of the season, the Hanoi Police Club still defended well, being the team with the second best defense in the tournament when only conceding 6 goals after 9 matches (1 goal more than Ha Tinh Club). Nguyen Filip contributed a lot to this achievement with a series of excellent saves. Thanks to that, he is still the number one candidate for the starting position in the Vietnam national team.
In the first division, Van Lam has only conceded the ball once after 5 matches. But that goal came from a personal mistake of the goalkeeper himself. He had a moment of lack of concentration in handling the ball, creating conditions for Hue Club players to score easily. At Ninh Binh Club, Van Lam still has many good saves. However, his concentration and reflexes are certainly affected to some extent, because Ninh Binh Club has a quality squad, superior to most teams in the first division, so they always control the ball better and dominate the game.
Since Nguyen Filip joined the Vietnam national team, Van Lam has only played 2 matches as a starter. He did not play very impressively and made 2 mistakes leading to goals. In the match against the Philippines, he rushed out of the penalty area, handled the ball clumsily and fouled the opponent. From this free kick, the Vietnam national team was tied 2-2. In the match against the Russian team, Van Lam had a situation where he failed to clear the ball after a simple pass back from Van Thanh. However, the reason was that the My Dinh stadium's grass was not of good quality, affecting Van Lam's handling.
