Following the conclusion of the Asian tournament with Hanoi Police FC, defender Doan Van Hau was able to enjoy a genuine break at home with his loved ones.
Due to the packed schedule, Van Hau's recent Lunar New Year celebration was quite rushed. Before midnight, he only managed to bring his wife and son to his hometown to reunite with relatives and participate in some traditional family activities. However, the defender had to quickly return to training as the team prepared for crucial AFC Champions League Two matches.
Starting from the second day of Tet, defender Van Hau was in the starting lineup for the away match against Tampines Rovers in the ACL2 Round of 16. Only after fulfilling his duties and returning to Hanoi could he fully "celebrate Tet belatedly" with his small family amid the early spring atmosphere.
This brief break served as a psychological boost before Van Hau resumed competitive play. According to the schedule, on February 24, CAHN club will play a rescheduled V-League Round 10 match against Dong A Thanh Hoa — a team known for its disciplined and challenging style of play.
Alongside the goal of competing for titles with his club, Doan Van Hau is also striving to regain form to impress coach Kim Sang Sik, aiming for a return to the Vietnam national team for important campaigns in 2026. Stability in defense is expected to motivate the Hung Yen-born defender to quickly reclaim his top form on the pitch.
