V-League "Top scorer" determined to beat Chinese team

In the opening match of Group E, Hanoi Police Club lost the victory due to two mistakes by goalkeeper Nguyen Filip. A 2-2 draw against host Beijing Guoan (China) is also a commendable achievement for Mr. Polking and his team.

Playing at home against Tai Po Club (Hong Kong - China) in the second match of the AFC Champions League Two 2025-2026 group stage at 7:15 p.m. on October 2 (K+), Quang Hai and his teammates aim to win 3 points to take the top spot in the table.

Tai Po FC are currently top of the group after their opening match, winning 2-1 against Macarthur FC (Australia). The team from Hong Kong - China is a strong, well-organized team, promising to create many difficulties for the remaining opponents in the group.

Hanoi Police FC currently has the strongest attack in V-League

Speaking at the pre-match meeting, Coach Polking expressed his determination to win all 3 points at Hang Day. He said: "The draw on the opening day of the tournament made us unhappy. Welcoming Tai Po FC, Hanoi Police Club set a clear goal of winning, winning all 3 points to be able to go far in this tournament."

The Brazilian strategist assessed his opponent: "I know some colleagues working in Hong Kong - China and I myself have certain research and understanding of football in this country. Tai Po owns many national players, with a dominant position in the domestic league, will certainly create many difficulties for us."

When asked about the strength and form of some key players, Coach Polking said that not only Viet Anh and Van Thanh but also Adou Minh are injured. The absence of key players will be a big challenge, but he believes that with the depth of the squad, Hanoi Police FC will overcome this and in fact the reserve players are ready to start.

Coach Polking added: "As I have affirmed, Nguyen Filip is a high-class goalkeeper. In my eyes, he is always the number 1 goalkeeper. It is true that his form has not been good recently, but in the last two matches, Filip has kept a clean sheet. This shows that he is gradually returning. With that signal, I believe Nguyen Filip will soon return to the national team."

Meanwhile, striker Alan - the current "Top scorer" of V-League - expressed: "With careful preparation, our goal is to win to be able to go as far as possible in the Asian Cup". In the opening match, AFC Champions League Two, Alan was injured earlier and entered the field from the bench.
