Southeast Asian Media Honors Quang Hải

With his current performance in the Hanoi Police Football Club (CAHN) jersey, Nguyễn Quang Hải continues to be an icon of Vietnamese football across Southeast Asia.

The well-known Southeast Asian football fanpage ASEAN United FC recently stirred the online community by posting a tribute to midfielder Nguyễn Quang Hải of CAHN. The post was simple but powerful: “Class is forever”accompanied by four photos of Quang Hải in the CAHN kit, exuding confidence and determination.

No elaborate words were needed; just a brief sentence was enough to affirm the status of the 1997-born star in Southeast Asian football. The post quickly gained thousands of interactions, shares, and comments, demonstrating Quang Hải’s enduring popularity.

This recognition is well-founded, especially after his brilliant performance in CAHN’s 4-0 victory over Tampines Rovers. The Singaporean team hardly had any chance to resist the relentless pressure imposed by the capital club. CAHN started with high pace, aggressive pressing, and complete control of the game from the opening minutes.

Within this tactical setup, Nguyễn Quang Hải was the strategic core. He operated widely, often dropping deep to receive the ball, controlling the tempo, then suddenly accelerating with sharp through passes. His close control and quick decision-making helped CAHN maintain constant pressure on Tampines Rovers’ defense.

Not only orchestrating play, Quang Hải also directly contributed to decisive moments. His intelligent runs into spaces and precise positioning inside the box demonstrated the caliber of a top player. He didn’t need many touches to make a difference, but each move was highly effective.

The 4-0 win not only gave CAHN a significant advantage in terms of score but also confirmed their ambition to reach continental levels. The capital club’s style is increasingly cohesive, well-organized, and flexible in transitions. When Quang Hải is in form, CAHN almost gains an additional “tactical brain” on the field.

ASEAN United FC’s tribute to Nguyễn Quang Hải is not just an emotional post but a recognition of the player’s persistent journey across many major competitions. At 28 years old, he continues to prove that true class comes not from fleeting moments but from consistent performance and resilience over time.
