“ CAHN ’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 fans,” Coach Polking emphasized before the match against Macarthur FC (Australia), in Group E, AFC Champion League Two 2025/26.
Regarding the force issue, Coach Polking said: "Unfortunately, in tomorrow's match, some injured players cannot participate, including Bui Hoang Viet Anh. However, CAHN has a deep enough squad, many good replacements and is well prepared."
Evaluating his opponent Macarthur FC, Coach Poking said: “They have changed a lot compared to when they won the National Cup last season. As soon as the draw results for this group were announced, I talked to foreign player Stephan Mauk. He used to play for Macarthur FC so he has a lot of experience.
We also watched videos of our opponents. They are a team with strength, physical strength, good wing attacks, and agile players. CAHN practiced tactics to best prepare for the match. In addition, playing at home helped us to deploy technical work well."
In the AFC Champion League Two 2025/26, Vietnam has another representative participating, the Blue Steel Nam Dinh . Unlike CAHN, the team from Thanh Nam does not have good results in the domestic arena. Coach Polking said that CAHN participated in all 4 tournaments this season and had a balanced force, always setting the highest goals.
“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.
CAHN 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's current squad can play well in the 4 tournaments we participate in," Coach Polking concluded.
Speaking at the pre-match press conference, central defender Hugo Gomes expressed his determination: "We are in a difficult group with strong opponents, so the team is training hard with the goal of winning at home."
The match CAHN vs Macarthur FC takes place at 7:15 p.m. on October 23 at Hang Day Stadium, Hanoi .
