"We need to win. This group is very difficult, only two teams will advance. CAHN had an acceptable result in the match against Beijing Guoan (China), but they also won at home. Therefore, three points are extremely important to increase the chance of advancing," coach Polking assessed the match against Tai Po in AFC Champion League Two.

"I have worked in Southeast Asia for a long time, regularly following tournaments in the region. In Hong Kong, the National Championship has a certain level of competition, with a few teams taking turns dominating, among which Taipo is a very strong club, with many quality national and foreign players.

Coach Polking believes CAHN will have good results.

With the AFC Champions League Two format allowing the registration of a maximum number of foreign players, both teams will certainly make the most of it. I believe the upcoming match will be difficult but exciting," added captain CAHN.

Evaluating the opponent, Coach Poling said: "Tai Po is a well-organized team with a good position in Hong Kong. I know some coaches who have worked here and understand their football environment. With a good squad of local players and foreign players, Tai Po will definitely cause us difficulties. After not having a good result in the opening match, CAHN must prepare very carefully to aim for victory."

Nguyen Filip was not called up to the Vietnam national team.

Regarding the fact that goalkeeper Nguyen Filip was not called up to the Vietnam national team, coach Polking expressed his opinion: "That is the head coach's decision, but I think this does not affect anything. Filip has just kept a clean sheet in 2 consecutive matches, is in very good form and the whole team has complete trust in him. As someone who used to lead the Thai national team, I understand that calling up players sometimes depends on their performance at each stage. I believe Filip will soon return to the national team."

The match CAHN vs Tai Po will kick off at 7:30 p.m. on October 2 at Hang Day Stadium, Hanoi .
