What did Hanoi FC President say when Van Hau returned home?
Chairman Do Vinh Quang said: Immediately after failing to reach an agreement to extend the contract with Heerenveen, Hanoi FC contacted Van Hau and supported him to book a ticket to return to Vietnam on a flight bringing Vietnamese citizens back from Paris (France) on August 1 because there are no more commercial flights at this time.
Not only me but all Vietnamese football fans want Van Hau to continue playing and developing in the European football environment. However, due to the complicated developments of the Covid-19 pandemic affecting the finances of all clubs in the world, including Heerenveen, negotiations between the two teams did not reach a common agreement as expected.

Currently, Hanoi FC is facing a force crisis when many players are injured. Therefore, adding Van Hau in phase 2 will help Hanoi FC have more quality options in defense, especially in the context that pillars such as Duy Manh and Dinh Trong are still having to take a long-term break due to injury.
