Doan Van Hau is suspected of returning to the field after injury, Trong Hoang sent a message

During the days when Doan Van Hau was silently fighting a long-term injury, a word of encouragement was sent from Trong Hoang, a senior who had gone through the dark abyss of football and made an extraordinary comeback.

The warrior of Vietnamese football. That is how Trong Hoang calls Van Hau, with words of encouragement hoping that his junior will return soon. A way of calling not only to encourage but also as an acknowledgement of the talent and spirit that Van Hau showed under coach Park Hang Seo.

Despite being nearly a decade apart in age, Trong Hoang and Van Hau were once the steel wings of the Vietnamese team, working together during the golden period under Mr. Park. Both rushed forward, retreated, and sweated together to protect the home team's net from the AFF Cup to the Asian Cup .

Trong Hoang understands Van Hau's pain better than anyone.

Now, one has reached the twilight of his career, the other is facing the shadow of injury. Trong Hoang understands Van Hau's pain, because he himself was there, perhaps even worse, when he had to face a herniated disc. An injury that could end a football career. Many people thought he should retire. But then, Trong Hoang did not accept his fate. He threw himself into training, living in physical therapy rooms, every drop of sweat falling along with the pain throughout his body.

And Trong Hoang returned to football. Returning not to play a few more matches, but to affirm the mettle of a person who does not surrender to fate. Like a phoenix rising from the ashes, Trong Hoang continues to stride on the field, persistent and strong. Fans still affectionately call him "the man without lungs".

That is why Trong Hoang's story is no longer just a player's story, but a symbol of resilience in Vietnamese football. And today, that symbol has passed on the torch to Van Hau, his younger brother who is on a journey to find himself again.

Will Van Hau's career shine again?

For Van Hau, his career is still long if he has enough willpower to overcome it. If he needs a mirror to guide him on the road ahead, he doesn't need to look far. Trong Hoang is living proof: No fate can overcome the will of a "true warrior".

"Falling is not the end, but the beginning of a stronger version." That short sentence from Doan Van Hau is not only a status line to encourage himself, but also a silent declaration about the promising comeback journey of the male player in the future.

At the age of 26, Van Hau would have had a much more fulfilling career, if not haunted by injuries. Since 2019, the defender from Thai Binh has undergone no less than three serious injury treatments, interspersed with short returns and then leaving the field again. Statistics show that, in 8 years of playing professional football, Van Hau had to rest for a total of more than 3 years, an unimaginable number for a regional-class player despite being born in 1999.

Doan Van Hau used to be the biggest hope on the left wing of Vietnamese football, the "trump card" in the defensive system under coach Park Hang Seo. Van Hau's maturity, cunning and passion helped him become the irreplaceable number one choice for many years. But since being tormented by injuries, the Vietnamese team has also entered a difficult "post-Van Hau" period, when no one can completely fill the void he left.

Van Vi, Xuan Manh, Jason Quang Vinh ... were all given opportunities to play as left backs. But stability, battle prowess, and comprehensive offensive and defensive abilities like Van Hau have remained a luxury for the Vietnamese team over the past two years.

In addition, a year playing football at SC Heerenveen only left an impression with a few minutes in the first team, and mainly reserve matches in the youth team. But instead of losing his ambition, Van Hau returned to Vietnam and continued to fight, despite the harshness of injuries, surgeries, and the doubtful eyes of public opinion.
