Coach Mano Polking's attacking mark at CAHN Club

In V-League 2024 - 2025, Nam Dinh Club convincingly won the championship with the strongest attack and the most solid defense, but Hanoi Police Club (CAHN) is also very formidable with a sprint of 4 consecutive wins at the end of the tournament to surpass formidable opponent The Cong Viettel to win the bronze medal.

The subsequent victory in the National Cup, with a score of 5-0 against SLNA in the final match, was a beautiful ending for coach Mano Polking and his team, in a season when they reached the final of the 2025 Southeast Asian Club Championship.

It can be seen that, despite a period of unstable performance when having to divide their strength on many fronts, Coach Mano Polking's mark has been increasingly evident through the way CAHN Club shows its creative and liberal attacking style of play.

Closing the 2024-2025 V-League, CAHN Club owns the 3rd best attack in Vietnam while the defense is only inferior to the champion Nam Dinh. More importantly, the attacking mindset was clearly shown through Alan's 14 goals, Leo Artur's 10 goals, Gomes Hugo's 5 goals or the way Quang Hai regained his form and shined.

This season, CAHN Club had an impressive transfer period when successfully retaining Quang Hai, Van Duc, Van Hau, Thanh Long, Van Luan..., bringing in Thanh Long, Dinh Tien, Andrey Ramos and soon midfielder Brandon Ly who used to play for Sheffield United and Burnley.

Not only that, CAHN Club also made fans excited by the prospect of preparing to recruit two quality names: central defender Ly Duc and especially midfielder Vo Hoang Minh Khoa, both of whom are potential players of the Vietnam national team.

Minh Khoa is showing himself as one of the top all-round midfielders in the V-League, gradually perfecting his defensive ability while becoming increasingly effective in organizing attacks.

At the end of last season, Minh Khoa had 4 goals and 7 assists for the Southeast team, showing an upgrade in playing style towards a faster but more reasonable direction, convincing coach Kim Sang-sik to play alongside Hoang Duc in the center of midfield.

Minh Khoa's mobility and ability to distribute the ball flexibly and intelligently - once he officially joins - promises to help him quickly integrate into coach Mano Polking's attacking style of play based on technical ball control.

In addition, CAHN Club will also have more powerful attacking options from set pieces, as central defender Ly Duc is very similar to Bui Hoang Viet Anh, who is very effective in attacking situations, with 3 goals for HAGL.
