In the coming time, the Vietnamese team will participate in two very important tournaments: the second qualifying round of the 2026 World Cup and the 2024 Asian Cup.
Doan Van Hau received special attention from the Indonesian media before the second qualifying round of the 2026 World Cup and the 2024 Asian Cup.
It is worth mentioning that in both of these tournaments, the Vietnamese team met their fateful opponent, Indonesia.
Indonesian defender Sandy Walsh suddenly spoke up about wanting to face defender Doan Van Hau.
In addition, the Dutch player did not hide his intention to play dirty if he played with the Vietnamese team's defender.
Specifically, Bolatimes newspaper quoted Sandy Walsh's statement on Sport77 Official channel when the host asked, "Will you use your elbow if you meet a Vietnamese player?"
In response, the naturalized star of the archipelago said: “Who do you want? I choose player number 5 (Doan Van Hau).”
Not only that, Sandy Walsh also affirmed: "If I score a goal against the Vietnamese team, I will use the action of elbowing to celebrate."
In recent years, matches between the Vietnamese and Indonesian teams have often been very tense and there has been no shortage of fierce tackles.
The most notable of these was the 2019 SEA Games final when Van Hau had a collision that forced player Evan Dimas to leave the field on a stretcher.
Recently, Indonesian media also announced that Evan Dimas will retire after this season.
The reason for Dimas's decision is said to be partly related to Van Hau's foul.
