Coach Polking: Cao Quang Vinh and Adou Minh are very eager to join the national team, coach Kim Sang Sik will be satisfied

Coach Alexandre Polking of CAHN Club has made notable statements about two Vietnamese-heritage players currently playing for the police team: Cao Quang Vinh and Adou Minh. According to him, both players have expressed a strong desire to wear the Vietnam national team jersey for the 2026 ASEAN Cup, and head coach Kim Sang Sik will be fully satisfied with what they bring. Cao Quang Vinh, a left-back born in 2026, has impressed in CAHN's colors, contributing to a clean-sheet victory in the 5th round of the 2026-2027 V-League. He has previously been called up to the national team and is showing remarkable growth. Meanwhile, Adou Minh, a 1m85 center-back, has just completed legal procedures to be eligible to play for Vietnam. With a solid physical and technical foundation trained in France, Adou Minh is expected to significantly strengthen the defense. Coach Polking shared: 'Both Cao Quang Vinh and Adou Minh are very eager. They want to prove themselves in the regional arena. I believe Coach Kim Sang Sik will be satisfied with their form and spirit.' He also emphasized that the decision to call up players rests with the national team head coach, and CAHN fully supports the players going to the national team. Furthermore, Polking affirmed that CAHN is ready to release players for the national team, despite the V-League first-leg schedule overlapping with the ASEAN Cup. 'We understand the responsibility towards the national team. Clubs need to compete, but the duty to contribute to the nation comes first,' he said. The relationship between Coach Polking and Coach Kim Sang Sik is considered very positive. The two have had many meetings to discuss harmony between the club and the national team, ensuring players are best prepared. This is especially important as the 2026 ASEAN Cup is not in FIFA Days, making player releases voluntary but necessary. In the previous ASEAN Cup (2026), CAHN released up to 6 players for the national team, and these players contributed greatly to Vietnam successfully defending the championship. Dinh Bac, a CAHN product, was co-top scorer with Xuan Son (5 goals) and won the Best Player award. This shows the club's significant contribution to the national team's success. With the addition of Cao Quang Vinh and Adou Minh, Vietnam's defense promises to be more solid. Coach Kim Sang Sik now has many quality options to aim for the goal of defending the Southeast Asian crown. Fans are eagerly awaiting the debut of these two players in the red shirt with yellow stars.
