Van Hau puts his trust in the Netherlands national team

Global football enthusiasts are focusing on the Netherlands vs. Morocco match in the 2026 World Cup knockout stage, with defender Doan Van Hau also making noteworthy comments as he voiced his backing for the "Oranje whirlwind".

On his personal page, Van Hau once posted a photo linked to the Netherlands team, while recalling his time playing for Heerenveen. Although he didn't get many chances to play in the Netherlands, the 1999-born defender still cherishes the period he spent experiencing European football's environment.

Van Hau's expression of affection for the Netherlands team did not surprise many people. Heerenveen was the first foreign club in the Vietnamese international's career, and it was also where he gained additional professional experience and a professional playing style.

Below the post, many fans left comments wishing the Netherlands to overcome Morocco and advance deep into the tournament. Numerous Vietnamese supporters also agreed with Van Hau's choice, as the orange-clad team always possesses a technically rich and dedicated style of play.

Besides following top-tier world football matches, Van Hau is still in the process of training and recovering, aiming to return to the pitch. The defender from Thai Binh has had to take a long break due to injury and is striving step by step to regain his best physical condition.

At the national team level, Van Hau remains a name that fans hope to see return soon. If he comes back with high form, the 26-year-old promises to provide additional quality options for coach Kim Sang Sik in the journey to achieve important goals for Vietnamese football.

While waiting for his return to the pitch, Van Hau always keeps an eye on major international tournaments. His support for the Netherlands team also partly reflects the fond memories he gained during his time at Heerenveen, even though his European journey did not last as long as expected.

"I only watch the World Cup at convenient times. None of my teammates at Heerenveen are playing for the Netherlands in the World Cup, but I still cheer for them. I hope the Netherlands beats Morocco.

Tomorrow morning, the match takes place at a great time, right during the team's breakfast. The whole team might watch it not only to feel the World Cup atmosphere but also to learn from the world's top teams," Van Hau shared.
