Twice leading, Hanoi Police Club still missed out on victory against Buriram
Thailand's leading sports daily Siam Sport wrote these very real lines: "Coach Mano Polking has reason to regret, his CAHN club should have won the first leg of the Southeast Asian Cup C1 final against Buiram United."
"CAHN is a big team in Vietnamese football. Under the leadership of coach Mano Polking, this team is even more dangerous. They drew 2-2 with Buriram United in the first leg of the final last night (May 14). Mr. Mano Polking is the former coach of the Thai team," Siam Sport added.

According to the assessment of the media and football world of the Land of the Golden Temple, Coach Mano Polking understands Thai football very well, based on the very long time he worked here. Specifically, Coach Mano Polking worked continuously in Thailand from 2012 - 2020.
In 2021, Mr. Polking went to Vietnam to lead Ho Chi Minh City Club in the V-League. But not long after that, at the end of 2021, Coach Mano Polking returned to Thailand to lead the national team of this country. Under the coaching of the German-Brazilian coach, the Thai team won the AFF Cup twice, 2020 (held at the end of 2021) and 2022.
Siam Sport newspaper warned Buriram United to be cautious with coach Mano Polking before the second leg of the Southeast Asian Cup final on May 21: "Although they could only draw with Buriram United at their home ground, coach Mano Polking asserted that CAHN's goal is still to win the Southeast Asian championship."

"Mr. Mano Polking is determined to bring the regional football C1 cup to Hanoi. Coach Mano Polking's CAHN club played very well in the first leg, especially in the first half.
That made Mr. Polking regret that his team could not win the first match," are still the lines written in Thailand's leading sports daily.
Even Buriram United Club President Newin Chidchob was cautious, although in theory his team had the upper hand after the first leg of the final last night at Hang Day Stadium.
Mr. Newin Chidchob shared: "Buriram United still has a slight disadvantage before the second leg of the final. The opponent CAHN will not easily let us touch the championship trophy."
"We tried to execute our plan in the match that took place last night. Of course, our goal in the second leg of the final on May 21 is to win. However, to do that, Buriram United needs the support of the home crowd," the president of Buriram United Club added.
The second leg of the final between Buriram United and CAHN will take place at 7:30 p.m. on May 21 at Chang Arena in Buriram (Thailand). CAHN coach Mano Polking is certainly the person who continues to receive much attention from fans in the Land of the Golden Pagoda.
