Hai has been working with experts for about two months now to adapt himself to the professional football environment in France.
One area that is being paid a lot of attention to is nutrition. An expert is working to give Hai a comprehensive grasp of the subject including the importance of nutrition and how to optimize and simplify a nutritional intake into daily habits. He is being taught how to select, buy and cook the food himself.
Unlike in Vietnam where a player can get to play even when he is not fully fit, Hai will have to learn how to take care of himself to ensure that he is 100 percent fit always, given the tough competition he will face in France.
Hai is waiting for a work visa to go to France for medical and complete procedures to join the French club, but details of the move have not been released yet.
Two of the experts who are working with Hai as he prepares for a new phase in his football journey. It has been reported that he will also get some foreign language training and be introduced to aspects of the local lifestyle and culture so that he can fit more easily into a new environment.
He signed up with a French club during his recent trip to Paris. Several rumors have been swirling around in recent days about Hai's new club. Some say the 25-year-old midfielder is to join Nimes Olympique and others say FC Metz. Both these teams play in the French second division Ligue 2. However, both Hai and his agent do not want to divulge details until the contract is signed.
