(Baonghean.vn) - Why hasn't Van Hau had a chance to play in Heerenveen? Malaysia uses naturalized squad to play against Vietnam; AFC is flexible, Cong Phuong and his teammates are not postponed from playing in the Asian tournament; Vietnam women's team is determined to win against Myanmar are notable Sports news in the past 24 hours.
Why hasn't Van Hau had a chance at Heerenveen?
Coach Johnny Jansen is quite conservative, opportunities for reserve players at Heerenveen are very limited. Apart from Van Hau, who has not played a single match in the Eredivisie, Danish defender Daniel Hoegh has only had 3 matches as a substitute, playing only 6 minutes.

The extreme stability of Heerenveen's defense is also reflected in the team's transfer policy. Last winter, coach Jansen said goodbye to 3 players and brought in 2 notable new players. All 5 changes focused on the attack. Mr. Jansen believes that the defense is playing well and decided not to change for the rest of the season.
The opportunity for Van Hau is therefore still unclear.
Huntelaar could join Heerenveen
Speaking to Radio Camataru, Technical Director Gerry Hamstra spoke about the possibility of Huntelaar joining Heerenveen at the end of this season: "I say anything now is dangerous. Okay, like this, if Huntelaar wants to end his career in Heerenveen, and he still shows desire, it will be a great contract."

World Cup 2022 Qualifiers: Malaysia to use naturalized squad to play Vietnam?
Recently, the Football Association of Malaysia (FAM) has completed all procedures and successfully naturalized two players Guilherme De Paula (33 years old, of Brazilian origin) and Liridon Krasniqi (28 years old, of Kosovo origin). Both are awaiting approval from the World Football Federation (FIFA) to wear the Malaysian national team jersey in the near future.

Thus, if the procedures are completed, the Malaysian team will most likely use up to 7 naturalized players in the main squad to face the Vietnamese team in the 2022 World Cup qualifiers. This is a significant advantage because foreign-born strikers will significantly increase the strength of the Malaysian team.
AFC is flexible, Cong Phuong and his teammates will not be postponed from playing in the Asian tournament.
With the Corona virus epidemic still affecting some provinces and cities across the country, the Asian Football Confederation (AFC) has flexibly handled the situation so that Ho Chi Minh City and Than.QN will not have to postpone their matches in the AFC Cup 2020.
Specifically, AFC has changed the home and away match schedule for the two matches mentioned above in the group stage. This means that the match between Ho Chi Minh City and Yangon United will take place at Thuwunna Stadium (Myanmar) on February 11. On April 29 (the time the return match was supposed to take place in Myanmar), Ho Chi Minh City will host Myanmar at Thong Nhat Stadium.

In the case of Ho Chi Minh City, due to the sudden announcement from AFC, Cong Phuong and his teammates will have to change their training and travel plans. Currently, they are training in Ba Ria and are scheduled to play a friendly match with B.Binh Duong on February 7. However, having to play in Myanmar on February 11 will cause Ho Chi Minh City to have to cancel this match in order to fly to the neighboring country in time to prepare for the match with Yangon United.
