Slovacko Club has gone through 35 rounds and finished the 2022-2023 Fortuna Liga season in 5th place overall. Goalkeeper Filip Nguyen is one of the key factors helping the Czech team achieve this achievement.
Not only is he excellent in the Slovacko club's squad, the goalkeeper with Vietnamese-Czech blood is also the most outstanding "goalkeeper" of the tournament. In the 5 most important parameters of a goalkeeper, Filip Nguyen leads in 4 parameters, including: minutes played, number of clean sheets, consecutive minutes of clean sheets and number of passes.
Filip Nguyen's impressive statistics in the Czech Republic National Championship
Accordingly, Filip Nguyen is the player with the highest number of minutes played in Slovacko Club and Fortuna Liga. He played 34 matches, standing in goal for a total of 3,047 minutes, playing an average of more than 89 minutes/match. In particular, Filip Nguyen is also the goalkeeper with the most clean sheets in the Czech Republic tournament with 11 matches without conceding a goal.
The goalkeeper born in 1992 is the player who kept a clean sheet for the longest time with 434 minutes without conceding a goal. The 31-year-old "goalkeeper" also showed impressive footwork and had good connection with his teammates on the front line when making a total of 1,241 passes, the most in the tournament (compared to other goalkeepers). In addition, Filip Nguyen also made 101 saves for Slovacko Club, ranking 4th in the tournament.
Filip Nguyen once expressed his desire to wear the Vietnamese national team jersey.
Filip Nguyen still has a contract with Slovacko Club until the end of 2024. At the beginning of the 2023 season, the goalkeeper with Vietnamese - Czech blood was very close to the V-League. With the ambition to compete for a high position in the 2023 V-League, Hanoi Police Club has invested heavily in the squad by recruiting many quality players. Among them, Filip Nguyen is considered the most prominent name in the "blood change" strategy of the rookie V-League team.
Hanoi Police Club even put his name on the registration list for the 2023 season and this list was made public on the tournament organizer's homepage. Hanoi Police Club is said to be willing to spend a "huge" amount to buy back the contract, with an amount of up to 800,000 USD. However, the parties involved have not found a common voice so that Filip Nguyen can return to Vietnam to play for the rookie team of V-League. Slovacko Club did not agree to release the player because they have not found a worthy replacement goalkeeper for Filip Nguyen.
At that time, goalkeeper Filip Nguyen's representative - Mr. Pavel Zika shared with the Czech Republic newspaper: "We understand Slovacko's situation, they really want to find an alternative and both sides have supported each other but the time is too urgent. Regarding the contract, I have reached an agreement between the parties, it's just that the time is not in harmony."
Filip Nguyen was once called up to the Czech Republic national team.
If he plays in the V-League, it will be easier for Filip Nguyen to obtain Vietnamese citizenship and the door to the national team will also be wider open. Vietnam national team coach - Mr. Troussier is showing openness to overseas Vietnamese players. During the FIFA Days training session in June, the French coach called up central defender Schmidt (Binh Dinh Club) to the national team and called up midfielder Nguyen An Khanh (playing for U.19 Sigma Olomouc in the Czech Republic) to join the U.23 Vietnam team.
Previously, the 31-year-old goalkeeper really wanted to become a naturalized player to play for the Vietnamese national team. However, the overseas Vietnamese goalkeeper was busy training and competing in the Czech Republic, so he could not meet the naturalization requirements. After that, Filip Nguyen was called up to the Czech national team but has not played in any official matches, so he still has a chance to play for the Vietnamese national team.
