Coach Polking: 'CAHN Club must get 3 points'
Answering the press before the match at noon on October 22, coach Alexandre Polking affirmed that CAHN Club must beat Macarthur in the match taking place at 7:15 p.m. tomorrow (October 23), thereby creating a springboard to go further in AFC Champions League 2.
After 2 matches, CAHN Club leads Group E with 4 points (drawn 2-2 with Beijing Guoan, won 3-0 with Tai Po). Macarthur is third with 3 points (lost 1-2 with Tai Po, won 3-0 with Beijing Guoan). According to Mr. Polking, Macarthur is a strong team, but CAHN Club is ready.

"CAHN Club's goal is clearly 3 points. This is an unpredictable group. If we want to go far, we must win this important match. It is also a gift for the audience," Coach Polking declared.
The German strategist added: "Macarthur has changed a lot compared to when they won the National Cup last season. We watched videos of the opponent. They are a team with strength, physical strength, good wing attacks, and agile players. Therefore, CAHN Club practiced tactics to best prepare for the match. In addition, playing at home helps us to deploy technical work well."
In their first time stepping out into the "big sea" of AFC Champions League 2 (Asian Cup C2), CAHN Club is leaving a strong impression.
Although there are still many limitations, such as making mistakes in the last 20 minutes of the match, or missing opportunities... but it must be recognized: CAHN Club played well.
Mr. Polking's team has a style of play that is characterized by clear ball control, smooth passing, effort to control to unlock the opponent and not closely dependent on foreign players. CAHN Club's playing personality is defined, unchanged no matter how strong the opponent is.
In addition to the established playing style, Coach Polking also has a weapon in his hands named Stefan Mauk, a former midfielder of Macarthur. Stefan Mauk understands the Australian team very well, so he will bring CAHN Club a lot of useful information.

"As soon as the draw for this group was announced, I spoke with foreign player Stefan Mauk. He used to play for Macarthur so he has a lot of experience," Mr. Polking emphasized.
'CAHN Club does not miss any tournament'
According to coach Polking, CAHN Club will try their best in every tournament, even though they have to compete in 4 arenas (V-League, National Cup, AFC Champions League 2, ASEAN Club Championship) this season.
"We are focused on all fronts, the tactical diagram and personnel have not changed much. I think if we lose points in a match, it will make other fronts difficult, so CAHN does not abandon any tournament," Mr. Polking shared.
If they defeat Macarthur in tomorrow night's match (October 23), CAHN Club will certainly defend the top spot in Group E before entering the second leg.
"CAHN Club participates in many tournaments, so preparation from the beginning of the season is very important, especially in terms of squad depth. In international matches, teams are allowed to use more foreign players, so we have rotation, thereby creating a balance of forces. I believe that CAHN Club's current squad can play well in 4 tournaments," Coach Polking concluded.
