Goalkeeper Nguyen Filip was recently called up by coach Troussier to join the Vietnam national team to head to the 2024 Asian Cup.
Will goalkeeper Nguyen Filip start for the Vietnam national team at the 2024 Asian Cup?
During his first time joining the Vietnam national team, Nguyen Filip was highly appreciated by both the media and experts thanks to his experience playing football in Europe.
Latest, according to statistics from the Asian Football Confederation, Nguyen Filip is the 12th most valuable goalkeeper at the 2023 Asian Cup. Accordingly, the “keeper” born in 1992 is valued at 600,000 euros – the same rank as Hassan Hamza of the UAE.
Meanwhile, the goalkeeper with the highest transfer price at this tournament is Mathew Ryan of Australia. The goalkeeper on the payroll of AZ Alkmaar costs 4 million euros. Standing right behind him is Iran’s Alireza Beiranvand (1.2 million euros).
Notably, in the top 15 most valuable goalkeepers at the 2023 Asian Cup, there are 3 playing for the Korean national team. These names include: Hyeon-woo Jo (4th place – 1 million euros), Bum-keun Song (5th place – 1 million euros) and Seung-gyu Kim (7th place – 800,000 euros).
Returning to the Vietnam national team, right before leaving for Qatar, Coach Troussier had to say goodbye to goalkeeper Dang Van Lam due to injury. Therefore, the starting position of the Vietnam national team at the 2024 Asian Cup will be difficult to escape from goalkeeper Filip Nguyen.
According to the plan, on January 9, the red shirt team will play a closed friendly match with Kyrgyzstan and this may be the match in which the goalkeeper of the CAHN club will be introduced.
On January 14, the Vietnam National Team began its journey at the 2024 Asian Cup with a match against Japan.
