After a solid performance in the opening match of the French second division league against Guingamp FC, coach Didier Tholot picked Hai instead of Eddy Sylvestre to play as the main midfielder. Hai had joined the previous game as a substitute in the 60th minute when his club was trailing hosts Guingamp FC 0-4. He created two chances from set-pieces - one a low corner on the right wing in the 77th minute for midfielder Jean Ruiz and the second in the 81st minute when he passed the ball from a free kick for Jean Ruiz to head in. In the match against Dijon FC, the 25-year-old player had more possession of the ball and created many assists and offensive opportunities for his team. In the 12th minute, he had a shot at the goal, but his volley went wide. In the 20th minute, he created a chance to score for teammate Sessi D'Almeida, who also missed his shot at the goal.

Hai’s debut in France’s second division Ligue 2 was not complete as Pau FC lost 0-4 to Guingamp. Hai played the last 30 minutes of the game and although he couldn’t make a difference, he was still the second highest-rated player of Pau FC in that game, with 13 touches, a pass accuracy of 100 percent and two chances from set pieces. Hai signed a two-year contract with Pau FC on June 30, becoming the first Vietnamese player to play in a professional football league in France.
