In the V.League 2025-2026 championship race, Hanoi Police Club is creating a significant gap with the chasing group thanks to a stable series of matches.
Besides the effectiveness in the attack with the explosion of Alan, Leo Artur, Dinh Bac... the return of Doan Van Hau contributes to significantly strengthening the defense system of the Police sector team.
The player born in 1999 is regularly used by coach Polking as a left-back, helping the team maintain a balance between defense, ball deployment and control of the game. After a long period of absence due to injury, although he has just returned, Van Hau quickly regained his competitive feeling.
In the past 7 matches in the V.League, Van Hau started and played all 7 matches. In addition to the beautiful goal against Thanh Hoa, Hau achieved a 57% win rate in ball disputes with opponents. He has an average of 1.4 saves/match and has 9.6 ball recoveries/match.
A notable milestone is Van Hau scoring against Dong A Thanh Hoa with a long-range shot, thereby being voted the most beautiful goal of March in the tournament. This is his first goal in the V.League after 40 months, and also marks an important step forward in the process of returning to playing at the top level.
The goal not only has professional value but also shows that confidence and ball feel have been clearly improved.
Stable performance at club level helped Van Hau be called back to the Vietnamese national team under coach Kim Sang-sik. In the match against Malaysia (March 31), he played fully and completed the defensive task on the wing.
Although he has not been able to contribute to goals or assists, this player also made his mark in defensive ability, in the role of lateral center-back. With what he has shown and is showing, Van Hau continues to affirm himself as an important piece towards the success of Hanoi Police and the Vietnamese team.
Behind Van Hau's return is the sharing and consensus of his wife Doan Hai My. Every trip for treatment away from home, Van Hau has the companionship of Hai My. She is even willing to practice with her husband, sharing every pain that this player has to endure after surgery or treatment.
On the day Van Hau scored a goal from a distance of 30 meters, the first time in 40 months in the V.League, Hai My and her whole family cheered and celebrated while watching on television. She wore her husband's jersey, jumping up and down with happiness.
