Adou Minh aims to take down Beijing Guoan, Hanoi Police target 3 points.
Ahead of matchday 5 of Group E in the AFC Champions League Two 2025/26, Adou Minh affirmed his goal of securing all three points at home for Hanoi Police; the defense will be without Bui Hoang Viet Anh, and the attack will be missing Alan.
Ahead of the crucial match against Beijing Guoan in Round 5 of Group E, AFC Champions League Two 2025/26, center-back Adou Minh affirmed that Hanoi Police has a clear objective: 3 points at home and a performance true to their identity.
A message from the 1997-born center-back.
At the pre-match press conference, Adou Minh showed strong determination and excitement before kick-off. He emphasized the importance of self-confidence and tactical discipline.
"The match against Beijing Guoan is extremely important. Personally, and on behalf of the entire team, we are full of enthusiasm and eagerly awaiting the opening whistle. I am confident that, as long as we maintain our confidence and adhere to the planned tactics, victory will be within CAHN's reach.", Adou Minh shared.
He further asserted:"We will fight with all our might, not just to win points, but also to deliver a style of play that reflects the team's identity.".
The personnel problem and the strength of the defense.
Adou Minh's return comes at a crucial time for Hanoi Police FC, who are facing squad difficulties: Bui Hoang Viet Anh is absent from the defense, and the attack has lost its key striker Alan due to injury. In this context, the role of the French-Vietnamese center-back becomes extremely important.
According to the personnel plan mentioned, Adou Minh is expected to team up with Hugo Gomes and Dinh Trong to form a "steel shield" trio in front of goalkeeper Filip Nguyen's goal. This structure lays the foundation for solidity, helping CAHN maintain control and limit space in front of the goal, thereby protecting their goal of securing 3 points at home.
The tactics and significance go beyond just 3 points.
In his speech, Adou Minh emphasized the importance of tactical discipline. In a pivotal match of the group stage, this is significant not only in defense but also in the ability to maintain team formation, organize, and switch tactics at the right time.
Against the formidable Chinese team, every contested situation and every decision to read the game became a crucial detail. The presence of the expected trio of central defenders helped CAHN reinforce their defense in front of the penalty area, while also allowing the attacking line to play more confidently in the absence of a striker like Alan.
The goal is to move forward and solidify our position.
A victory against Beijing Guoan would not only give Hanoi Police a strong chance of advancing in Group E but also send a powerful message about the competitiveness of Vietnamese football on the continental stage. From the press conference to the training ground, the spirit of "securing all three points" was reiterated as an internal commitment and an affirmation to the fans.
When the opening whistle blows, all eyes will be on the defense with Adou Minh at the center, on how CAHN executes their tactics and overcomes personnel difficulties. The result on the scoreboard will say it all — not just about a match, but about the character that the Vietnamese representative wants to showcase in the AFC Champions League Two 2025/26.
