Winning SEA Games 30, Van Hau has a wide open door to start for Heerenveen
With his excellent performance at SEA Games 30, Doan Van Hau will likely be able to play for Heerenveen in the Dutch National Championship.
Dutch media and fans have called on coach Jonhny Jansen to give Van Hau a chance to start. In round 17 of the 2019/20 Dutch National Championship, Heerenveen will host Willem II at home at 02:00 on December 14.

Heerenveen's left-back Lucas Woudenberg has lost the trust of coach Jansen and has not started in the last 7 matches. Accordingly, the Heerenveen captain had to move Floranus from the right wing to the opposite wing. Therefore, coach Jansen is in dire need of a "true" left-back with high performance like Van Hau.
It is very likely that the "youngest boy" of U22 Vietnam will be used by coach Jonhny Jansen in the match against Willem II. The match between Heerenveen vs Willem II will be broadcast live on HTV Sports channel.
