  • Before the tough match against Kyoto Sanga, coach Mano Polking of Công an Hà Nội insisted that consecutive matches and injuries are not a reason to give up, but serve as an opportunity to strengthen the team.

Ahead of the important clash against Japan's Kyoto Sanga in the AFC Champions League (ACL) Elite 2026-2027, HLV Mano Polking of Công an Hà Nội strongly emphasized that the series of matches and the injuries he has faced are not hindrances but he considers them a "gift" to forge the strength of his team. Since the opening season, Công an Hà Nội has played the most matches among Vietnamese clubs: 11 games in various tournaments such as the V-League, AFC Champions League Elite, Southeast Asian Club Cup, and Vietnam Super Cup. Between October 8 and 31, they played six straight matches—roughly every four days. Despite this, only two wins were brought home, showing the weight of the schedule and the impact of injuries. Big names like Trần Đình Trọng, Vũ Văn Thanh, Kevin Pham Ba, and striker David Henen are still not back from their injuries. Meanwhile, key players such as Nguyễn Đình Bắc, Nguyễn Quang Hải, and Bùi Hoàng Việt Anh are showing signs of overfatigue. Despite this, Polking remained positive, emphasizing that the club has learned a lot and adapted to the continued exposure to international competition.

The coach didn't hide their history either: Công an Hà Nội became the first Vietnamese club to record a win over an Australian team, Adelaide United, in the playoffs to enter the group stage of the ACL Elite. In the following games, they faced good Japanese teams such as Gamba Osaka (1-4) and Kashima Antlers (0-1), but also bounced back to beat China's Shanghai Port, 3-2, for a historic win. Công an Hà Nội are currently 11th in their group, with five matches remaining - enough to win and enter the knockout round, a coveted milestone in Vietnamese football. Their next mission is lined up to take on Kyoto Sanga, a club with over 100 years of history and bolstered by many foreign players. Kyoto coach Ranko Popovic has previously faced Polking in the Thai League, so a tactical battle is expected. Polking, on the other hand, described the experience against the Japanese clubs as a big lesson, because it is said that intense focus and the right mentality are required in front of opponents who make good use of every opportunity. Accepting all the challenges, Công an Hà Nội is determined to keep up with and inspire Vietnamese football in Asia. For Polking and his troops, each test is a step towards the dream of becoming the first Vietnamese club to make it past the ACL Elite knock-outs. Although the road has been very difficult, their determination to reach victory has truly been the "gift" of this season.

What's next

In their next match against Kyoto Sanga, Công an Hà Nội are expected to show their ability despite the challenges. Having key players showing signs of overfatigue can affect their performance, but HLV Mano Polking's positive outlook can inspire the team. This match is an important step in their journey to the AFC Champions League Elite.
