According to the announcement of the organizing committee, Nguyen Filip is on the nomination list for the 2024-2025 Vietnam Men's Golden Ball. Sharing after being included in this list, the "goalkeeper" born in 1992 said that he hopes to surpass his best achievement, which is a position in the top 20 of the Czech Republic Golden Ball in 2020.
“It is a great honor for me to be nominated for the Vietnam Golden Ball 2024. The best achievement I have ever achieved is being in the top 20 of the Czech Republic Golden Ball in 2020. I hope I will surpass that milestone this year. So who do you think is the most deserving?”, Nguyen Filip shared on his personal page.
However, what made the online community excited was the humorous photo he shared with the article. In it, Nguyen Filip combined his face with the image of Rodri - the player who won the 2024 World Golden Ball. This action created a funny moment that made fans laugh.
Explaining this photo, Nguyen Filip said: "I wanted to bring joy to everyone so I intentionally left this photo."
The race for the 2024 Vietnam Golden Ball title officially kicked off on November 5. This year's prestigious title will still be a competition between famous names such as Nguyen Filip, Dang Van Lam, Nguyen Hoang Duc, Pham Tuan Hai and Nguyen Quang Hai.
However, the excellent performance of the players at the AFF Cup 2024 will be the deciding factor in choosing the winner. Meanwhile, recent domestic tournaments have not witnessed outstanding brilliance from any individual.
