Đỗ Hoàng Hên displayed promising performance in Vietnam's 3-0 win against Bangladesh. However, after the match, the Brazilian-origin star made a surprising proposal.
In an interview with VTV reporters after Vietnam's match against Bangladesh, Hoàng Hên surprisingly requested that the reporter ask questions in English, while he himself asked to respond in Vietnamese because he felt... tired.
Hoàng Hên's request was quite unexpected, but the interview proceeded smoothly as the reporter asked questions in English, and the star who just debuted for Vietnam answered fluently in... Vietnamese.

Hoàng Hên answered the interview in Vietnamese after Vietnam's 3-0 victory over Bangladesh.
Returning to the match against Bangladesh, in his first game for Vietnam, Đỗ Hoàng Hên showed promising performance. He connected well with teammates like Hoàng Đức, Hai Long, and Tuấn Hải. He moved intelligently and played the role of a "decoy" to attract defenders, creating space for teammates to shoot.
In the first half, Hoàng Hên had a shot that missed the goal and a nice pass to Hai Long for a close-range shot facing the Bangladesh goalkeeper. Hoàng Hên also made a good pass for Tuấn Hải to break through, but it was incorrectly called offside.
In the second half, Hoàng Hên played as a forward; later he dropped back to play as a central midfielder alongside Lê Phạm Thành Long. He continued to perform well. Notably, Hoàng Hên had a left-footed curling shot that hit the post of Bangladesh's goal.
Overall, all that Hoàng Hên lacked in this debut match was a goal. The Brazilian-born star had a good debut for Vietnam even though he didn't score or assist.
