Coach Polking said something surprising about Nguyen Filip not being selected for the national team, very wary of his opponent Hong Kong

Coach Polking of Hanoi Police Club and representative of Tai Po Club shared their thoughts before the match between the two teams, in round 2 of Group E of AFC Champions League Two.

Coach Polking: "Nguyen Filip has high class"

On October 2, Hanoi Police Club will host Tai Po Club (Hong Kong) in the second match of Group E - AFC Champions League Two (Asian Cup C2). Before the match, coach Mano Polking emphasized: "Of course, the highest goal is to win this match. In the opening match against Beijing Guoan, we did not play as expected and the result was not as expected. Hanoi Police Club wants to go further in this tournament, so we must win the match against Tai Po".

Regarding the opponent, Mr. Polking commented: "Tai Po is a well-organized team and dominates the Hong Kong tournament. I know some coaches and assistants who are working at Tai Po. They have many excellent players and good foreign players. I believe this will be an interesting match. Tai Po is a strong team, sometimes in football there are changes in strength over the seasons but they are still a formidable opponent. With the regulations in AFC Champions League Two, the two teams can use a maximum of foreign players. Therefore, this match is worth watching."

Coach Mano Polking said that Viet Anh, Adou Minh, and Van Thanh are currently injured. After the match with Nam Dinh in the V-League, Quang Hai was also injured. However, Mr. Poking still believes that he has a deep squad, many versatile players, and is ready to replace.

"Nguyen Filip is a high-class goalkeeper. In the past, he did not have good form in some matches, but in the last 2 matches he kept a clean sheet. Therefore, it cannot be said that Filip is not good, he is gradually returning. Playing for the national team is a source of pride, the Hanoi Police team has 4 players participating. We need to respect the decision of the head coach of the Vietnam team, because they always choose the best players. With his recent improvement in form, I believe that Nguyen Filip will soon return to the national team," Coach Polking answered when asked about the case of goalkeeper Nguyen Filip not being called up to the Vietnam team next time.

Tai Po team coach impressed with Quang Hai

On the other hand, Coach Lee Chi Kin (Tai Po Club) said: "We will try our best to achieve the best results. As I have watched the video and statistics, I am impressed with Quang Hai on the Hanoi Police team. Maybe, we will play a tight defensive game against the Hanoi Police Club, which is in very good form at the moment.

After the first round of matches, Tai Po FC was the only team to win in Group E and lead the group. Regarding this, Coach Lee Chi Kin said: "We cannot control public opinion about whether we are the weakest in the group or not. At the moment, when we are at the top of the group, we cannot say anything, we can only say that we will try our best until the last match."

Also attending the pre-match press conference, Tai Po FC player Remi Du Jardin set a goal: "Every match is an opportunity to find valuable points. Hopefully, before returning to Hong Kong, the team will have at least 1 point."
