Asian Cup C2 schedule: CAHN Club determined to beat host Australia to maintain top position

The C2 Asian Cup schedule brings a big challenge to CAHN Club, when in the fourth match, coach Alexandre Polking and his team have to play away at Macarthur Stadium (Australia).

CAHN Club's difficult schedule

Hanoi Police Club (CAHN Club) is playing relatively well in its first time entering the AFC Champions League 2, drawing Beijing Guoan (2-2) and Macarthur (1-1), and also winning Tai Po (3-0). The difficult schedule has been well resolved by the V-League representative.

Topping Group E with 5 points after the first leg is a commendable achievement for Alexandre Polking and his team.

However, to protect the position in the return leg is not simple, when in fact in group E, the teams are almost equal in strength. CAHN Club played well, but did not surpass Macarthur or Beijing Guoan.

In the previous match, CAHN Club, despite dominating the field, let Macarthur hold them to a 1-1 draw due to a mistake in the high ball situation. The equalizer also showed the class of the Australian team. They did not need to hold the ball much, but only needed one situation to destroy the previous efforts of Quang Hai and his teammates.

Playing at Macarthur Stadium at 2:45 pm today (November 6), the challenge for CAHN Club is much bigger. Besides having to play away in a place with opposite weather conditions to Hanoi (Australia is currently entering summer), CAHN Club's strength is probably no longer a "mystery" for Macarthur.

The Australian representative had won 3-0 against Beijing Guoan in the second leg. Just one match, but it showed how dangerous and stable Macarthur is when playing at home. Meanwhile, CAHN played an away match and drew 2-2.

Over the threshold

CAHN Club must prepare for a fierce physical battle against the most resilient and powerful opponent in Group E. Under coach Polking, physical strength is still a problem for CAHN Club, as the team often makes mistakes in the final minutes.

To stand firm against Macarthur, CAHN Club needs to improve their ability to take advantage of opportunities and focus on maintaining a good physical foundation. With a controlling playing philosophy and lightning-fast attacks, CAHN Club still has enough tactics to cause surprises.

"We are ready and fully focused for tomorrow's match. The team's goal is to get a good result to maintain our top position in the table.

Despite having to play away from home under different conditions, I believe the whole team is ready. We are fully focused on competing, having a good match and defending our top position. A good result will be a big step forward to help us confidently advance to the next round," Coach Polking shared.

If they beat Macarthur, CAHN Club will have a big advantage in the race for a ticket to the round of 16 of the Asian Cup C2.
