Van Hau: 'I never felt out of place in SC Heerenveen'

Having no difference from Cong Phuong, Doan Van Hau's abroad trip to this point caused many bewilderment for the fans.

Up to now, the 21-year-old defender had only 4 minutes to play in the match against Roda JC in the National Cup, most of which he had to sit on the bench even though he was regularly registered.

“I was able to play in the youth team and I felt my level also improved a lot. Physical strength is also good because I and my teammates are trained under the very enthusiastic and professional guidance of the strength and conditioning coach.

He always encouraged me. Once he even said, if possible, Hau should stay another year. Everyone gives me respect. I never felt out of place, ” Van Hau shared with Thanh Nien.

One of the biggest difficulties that Heerenveen cannot risk is Van Hau’s poor English-speaking skill, which is making it difficult for Van Hau to communicate best with teammates both on the training ground and in competition.

To overcome this problem, the management of the team also arranged for him stay in a Dutch family, so that Hau could have more opportunities to communicate in English.

“I feel very satisfied because things are going so well for me. From eating, exercising, commuting to relationships with everyone here.

Although I have not played in the first team in the Netherlands, I still get a lot of help from the whole team in activities and on the training ground, ” Thanh Nien quoted Van Hau.
