Club career
[edit]Hanoi
[edit]Văn Hậu became a regular part of his club Hà Nội in 2017 when he was just 17, making him one of the youngest Vietnamese players to debut in the V.League 1. His performance was considered as one of the most impressive among youngsters in Vietnam. He won the 2018 V.League 1 and 2018 Vietnamese Super Cup with Hà Nội. Văn Hậu was also named in the 2018 V.League 1 Team of The Season.
SC Heerenveen (loan)
[edit]On 2 September 2019, Đoàn Văn Hậu joined Eredivisie side SC Heerenveen on a season-long loan. He made his first-team debut when coming from the bench at 89th minute on 2–0 win over Roda JC in KNVB Cup on 17 December 2019, making him the first Vietnamese player to play in the Netherlands.[2] However, that was his only game for the first team. He was mostly used in the reserve team Jong SC Heerenveen in Beloften Eredivisie, making 10 appearances overall and got one assist before this reserve league was eventually cancelled due to COVID-19 pandemic.
In August 2020, Văn Hậu returned to Hà Nội from a year spell with SC Heerenveen after the Dutch club and the Vietnamese football club failed to reach an agreement to extend his loan contract in the Netherland.[3][4]
Cong An Ha Noi
[edit]After 13 years at Hà Nội, on 1 January 2023, Văn Hậu joined 2022 V.League 2 league champions and newly promoted side, Công An Hà Nội
International career
[edit]Youth
[edit]U-19 and U-20 World Cup
[edit]Văn Hậu made his first international appearance for the Vietnam national under-20 football team in 2016 AFC U-19 Championship at the age of 16. In the match against North Korea, one of Asia's major youth giant and runners-up of previous 2014 AFC U-19 Championship, he scored in an astonishing goal from distance as Vietnam registered their historic 2–1 win over North Korea, set up the historic journey as Vietnam would eventually make their first major FIFA 11-men football debut, the 2017 FIFA U-20 World Cup.[5] In the U-20 World Cup, he didn't score any goals as the team exited with only a point.
U-22, to U23 and Olympics
[edit]
Văn Hậu's talents got himself promoted to the U-22, U23 and Olympic team in spite of his age. He made his debut on the U-22 team in the CFA friendly tournament in China, and scored a goal against Uzbekistan in a 1–3 defeat. He would later participate in the 2017 SEA Games, scored 2 goals but his Olympic team had to end up in poor note, being eliminated from the group stage.[6]
However, his role became prominent in the 2018 AFC U-23 Championship. Although scoring no goal, he gave a magnificent performance, assisted for Nguyễn Quang Hải to score in the 1–2 defeat to South Korea[7] and his tackles against Iraq as Vietnam advanced to their first final in any AFC tournament, which earned reputation by Dutch press as "Doan Van Bale".[8]
In Vinaphone Cup 2018, he scored a trivela goal that helped his native Vietnam beat Oman 1–0.[9]
Văn Hậu played a vital role in Vietnam's SEA Games 30 campaign, scoring two goals in a 3-0 victory against Olympic Indonesia in the final.
Senior
[edit]Due to his good performances at youth teams, Văn Hậu was named on Park Hang-seo squad for the 2018 AFF Championship and played an instrumental role on helping Vietnam to gain the second title, assisting important goals for his teammates which made him one of eleven main players of the tournament.[10]
However, it was the 2019 AFC Asian Cup, in which he was one of the youngest players in the tournament at the age of 19, that saw him earned reputation. His notable performance was against Jordan, where he prevented several of Jordanian attacks as Vietnam marched to the quarter-finals for the second consecutive time. He was later named as one of 10 best young players at the tournament.[11]
Văn Hậu appeared in all 8 matches in the second round of 2022 FIFA World Cup qualification where he contributed significantly to the team success of reaching the final round of the qualifying process. However, his recurrence of torn meniscus injury forced him to miss the first 2 matches of third round against Saudi Arabia and Australia in early September 2021. On 13 September 2021, Hanoi FC confirmed Văn Hậu would undergo a comprehensive surgery in South Korea to completely treat the injury, which lasted several months. Therefore, he had miss all 10 matches of Vietnam in the third round.
Playing style
[edit]Văn Hậu is well known for his work-rate and hard-tackling style of play thanks to his height. He is quick, aggressive, physically strong, and a tenacious defender. However, despite his defensive abilities, he has also drawn criticism in the media due to his tendency to pick up cards, as he has often shown unsportsmanlike behaviour. On several occasions, he displayed vicious actions on the pitch during the AFF Championship through his rough tackles or his elbow strikes to the opponent player. These antics made him one of the most controversial players in Southeast Asia.[12][13]
