Coach Chu Dinh Nghiem: 'Van Hau can kick in positions that Hanoi is lacking'

After finishing the quarantine period, Doan Van Hau immediately gathered with his teammates in Hanoi FC to enter the first training session. The player was allowed to rest more to visit his family, but Van Hau proactively asked to gather early with his teammates.

Coach Chu Dinh Nghiem shared: "Van Hau has just spent a year without visiting his family. I want to give Van Hau time to rest, to have more time with his family. However, until today, Van Hau took the initiative to get permission to practice with the whole team, I think that Van Hau has just gone through a period of friction in the top environment and coming back to Hanoi FC is no different from coming home.

Being accustomed to the high intensity in Europe will help Hau not have many difficulties in getting back into the team. Before going to the Netherlands, Hau was the mainstay of Hanoi FC as he could play as a defender and a full-back. I think that next time, Hau will help a lot for the team when the team is also lacking in those positions "- according to VOV.

Coach Chu Dinh Nghiem also planned to use Van Hau diversely in the coming period. Specifically, Van Hau will play the midfielder or the left-back forte depending on the match. The midfielder positions in Hanoi FC are in crisis Duy Manh and Dinh Trong are both injured.

The center-back position is not new to Doan Van Hau. He was given this responsibility in the U22 shirt of Vietnam and shined brightly, helping the army of Park Hang Seo to win the championship.
