Hanoi Police Club lost Quang Hai in the match against the Philippines team.

(NLDO) - Despite the absence of many key players due to injury, the Hanoi Police Club's squad is still rated higher than Cebu FC's in the second match of Group A of the Southeast Asian Cup C1.

At the press conference before the match against Cebu FC (Philippines), coach Polking of Hanoi Police Club revealed that the team will be missing three key players due to injury: Quang Hai, Viet Anh and Adou Minh. However, coach Polking believes that the players who will be replaced will complete their tasks well.

Quang Hai and Viet Anh will be absent from the match between Hanoi Police and Cebu FC.

The Brazilian strategist shared: "I am very grateful to the leadership of the Hanoi Police Club for preparing a deep squad for me. New players will take the field and I believe they will perform well. After an unsatisfactory opening match, the whole team is determined to win all 3 points against Cebu. This is an important match for us, because only a victory can advance further in the tournament."

In the opening match of the tournament, Hanoi Police Club lost to the host BG Pathum United (Thailand) despite having the advantage of leading the score and playing with one more player early on. The Police team is determined to win 3 points when hosting Cebu FC in the second round of Group A of the 2025-2026 Southeast Asian Cup C1 at Hang Day Stadium at 7:30 p.m. on September 24.

When asked about Nguyen Filip's position, Coach Polking affirmed that he is still the number 1 goalkeeper. "There were a few situations where Nguyen Filip lost concentration, but that is also unavoidable and normal in football. After that match, I talked and gave advice to Nguyen Filip. I do not doubt his class. For me, Nguyen Filip is still the number 1 goalkeeper of Hanoi Police, the current top player in the national team" - he commented.

Nguyen Filip has had unstable performance and often made mistakes in recent matches.

Mr. Polking also admitted that in the past few matches, there were times when the Hanoi Police players lost concentration, leading to unfortunate losses. He himself worked to help his students increase their concentration throughout the match, making the most of the opportunities created.

"I am always excited about participating in international tournaments and want my team to participate regularly. Because there, we get to meet big, highly skilled opponents, so the players can compete and gain experience. Everything that has happened will be useful for the players on the journey ahead" - Head coach of Hanoi Police shared more.
