Technical director Heerenveen Gerry Hamstra said that Van Hau is a special case that takes a lot of time to adapt to Dutch football.

Recently, many Vietnamese fans have called Doan Van Hau to return to the country to compete as he hasn’t been used by coach Johnny Jansen. However, SC Technical Director Heerenveen Gerry Hamstra said that Van Hau is a special case, it takes a lot of time before being given the opportunity.

Mr. Gerry Hamstra said: "Doan Van Hau is a very special case. We told him from the beginning that he needs time. If I come to Vietnam, a completely foreign country, I also need time to adapt.

Only in 6 months Doan Van Hau did not fully serve the team. We know that. The other half of year is not as good as we expected due to the COVID-19 pandemic situation. We will sit down with Doan Van Hau to discuss the future.”

Although he has not played much for the first team, Doan Van Hau said he is much more mature after his time at Heerenveen.
