Thể Thao 247 - It is almost to be sure that Vietnam head coach - Park Hang-seo will convene Filip Nguyen to the national team in the gathering campaign ahead of 2022 World Cup Qualifiers.
To set up for the plan, Park Hang-seo in person headed to Europe to scout Alexander Dang yet the striker could not leave a huge impression on the head coach.
According to some sources from Tien Phong News, Park Hang-seo and VFF would still give opportunities for the Vietnamese-origin players including Filip Nguyen, who was born by a Vietnamese father and a Czech mother and is now playing for Slovan Liberec in Gambrinus Liga.
Based on statistics, Filip Nguyen made it to be one of the best five goalkeepers of Gambrinus Liga this season.

As planned, VFF will make a call to Filip Nguyen in 2022 World Cup Qualifiers as King’s Cup is just a short-time friendly game in term of training session and time lasting. Also, Filip Nguyen yet to have Vietnamese nationality which requires a while for the legitimate procedure.
Mr. Park gave out 2 criteria, which overseas-based players have to comply, having professional knowledge and a desire to dedicate to the national team.
Filip Nguyen will be given an opportunity if he responds these two requirements. That means Dang Van Lam would have an opponent fighting for a slot in front of Vietnam’s net.
Filip Nguyen came back to Vietnam several times with a hope to be caped to the national team. He is a close friend of Mac Hong Quan (Than Quang Ninh FC) who is likely also to be a roster for the squad.
