Doan Van Hau was criticized again by former Heerenveen coach

Although he has not worked at Heerenveen for a long time, coach Gertjan Verbeek said he is still interested in his old team and often gives comments about this club.

Recently, when answering the newspaper Omrop Fryslan, coach Gertjan Verbeek once again made comments about Vietnamese player, Doan Van Hau. According to this coach, Van Hau's level is not enough to play football in the Netherlands, or even in Australia - where he is leading the Adelaide United team.

Even my assistant said he wasn't good enough for Adelaide United. That's why my club in Australia was surprised when Van Hau debuted for Heerenveen. After that, I realized Van Hau wasn't good enough to play in the Dutch league. If Van Hau joined my team, it would be difficult for him to be selected," said coach Gertjan Verbeek.
