Former Ligue 1 center -back: 'Quang Hai is enough to play in France'

Zarour said that if he ignored the external factors and only in terms of playing ability, Quang Hai had enough kick for Pau FC. "Of course, because Quang Hai plays good football," Zarour told Metasports.

Zarour is no stranger to Quang Hai, when he used to play together on the field in the seven V-League matches, in the match between Khanh Hoa and Hanoi in the 2016-2019 period. In all seven matches, both of them played, in which Quang Hai scored a goal.

Zarour is a rare player who has participated in one of the top five European tournaments, before coming to the V-League. He started his career in Cannes in the French third division, reaching a peak when switching to Dijon in Ligue 2 season 2009-2010. Zarour is a pillar to help Dijon play in Ligue 1 season 2011-2012. After that, his performance was decided and turned to lower classes. After playing for Khanh Hoa, the 39 -year -old center -back went to France to kick in the semi -specialized class.

He understood Quang Hai's challenges when switching to playing in a new environment, with other language, culture and philosophy. "The biggest challenge for Quang Hai is not physical, technical or speed, but the ability to adapt to the new environment," the French center -back added. "He will have to try hard, and will enjoy the results there."

Today, June 29, Quang Hai has a medical schedule with Pau FC. If he completes this stage, he could sign an official contract with the team, which is expected to last two years with the option of a one-year extension. This contract term is long with Pau FC, when the small Ligue 2 team usually borrow players for a year.

Pau's players began training for the new season on June 24. On July 3, the team will go to training in Saint-Paul-lès-Dax, a ward in Dax district, Landes province, nearly 100 km from Pau district, Bearn province, equivalent to more than an hour's drive.

On July 8, the team played their first friendly match against an opponent in Dax.
