Newcomer to the Vietnamese national team Nguyen Filip said the difficulty he faces is finding a common voice in playing style with his teammates because they do not have the opportunity to play together often. "The biggest difficulty for me is understanding my teammates and how to make them understand me. I will need to learn more Vietnamese to solve this problem soon."
These are the difficulties that Nguyen Filip anticipated and constantly made efforts to learn Vietnamese. He was supported by his teammates in learning Vietnamese. Nguyen Filip revealed that he shared a room with goalkeeper Dinh Trieu and was actively "taught" Vietnamese by his teammates and translated into English during training sessions or meetings.
The goalkeeper, who is of Vietnamese and Czech descent, also said that sometimes his teammates tease him because his pronunciation is not really good, so sometimes he will say something very funny.

Above all, Nguyen Filip said that the Vietnamese team are all very good players, deserving to be present at the Asian Cup. "They are all the best players in Vietnam and I believe that I and everyone will reap success," Nguyen Filip said.
The goalkeeper of the Hanoi Police team also sent a message to the fans: "I want to thank everyone because I feel like I have always received great support throughout the past time. I believe that the whole team can achieve success together. It doesn't matter whether we come from the Hanoi Police Club, Hanoi FC, The Cong - Viettel or Thanh Hoa, at this time we are wearing the shirt of the Vietnam national team. I believe that everyone will support us and we will achieve something at this Asian Cup".
With goalkeeper Dang Van Lam having to withdraw due to injury and his recent good form, Nguyen Filip is likely to be trusted with the starting position in the Vietnamese team at this Asian Cup. This morning (January 5), Nguyen Filip and his teammates left for Qatar, ready to conquer the challenge at the first Asian Cup of his career.
