Cao Pendant Quang Vinh recognizes Đoàn Văn Hậu as a top-quality defender and is confident that the two can collaborate effectively at CAHN and with the Vietnam national squad.
The competition on the left flank of Hanoi Police FC becomes notable when Cao Pendant Quang Vinh and Đoàn Văn Hậu both specialize as left-backs. However, instead of creating internal pressure, Quang Vinh offers positive remarks about his teammate, demonstrating professionalism and mutual respect.
According to Quang Vinh, playing the same position helps him and Văn Hậu cooperate more easily rather than facing intense rivalry. They frequently exchange technical advice and communicate a lot during training and matches. The French-Vietnamese defender regards Văn Hậu as an outstanding player and believes their mutual understanding benefits the entire team.
Going beyond the club level, Quang Vinh also expresses hope to stand alongside Văn Hậu in the Vietnam National Team. He believes that if both play together, just like at CAHN, it would be a positive option for the national team due to the established synergy between them.
On a personal note, Cao Pendant Quang Vinh, whose full name is Jason Pendant Quang Vinh, was born in Sarcelles, France, with a French father of Martinique descent and a Vietnamese mother. After several years playing in France and the US, he joined CAHN in August 2024, marking an important milestone in his career.
The year 2025 became a special milestone when he officially received Vietnamese citizenship in March. Just three months later, Quang Vinh was called up to the national team and started in the match against Malaysia in the 2027 Asian Cup qualifiers. His quick adaptation helped him gradually establish his position.
Currently, Quang Vinh is regarded as the top choice for the left-back position at both CAHN and the national team. While Văn Hậu is striving to regain his best form, Quang Vinh’s comments reflect healthy competition — a necessary factor to elevate the professional quality of both the club and the national squad.
