Masatada Ishii, head coach of the Thai national team, said that it was good that we were able to win at home. In the past 3 matches, there was little time to prepare, but everyone did their job well. As for the semi-finals, he thought he could meet any team. He didn’t want to meet any team in particular.
When asked about the choice of William Weidersjö as team captain for this match, Ishii said that William is a player who has determination and effort in playing, and he likes to choose a midfielder as team captain because he can help stabilize the แทงบอล UFABET ราคาดีที่สุด ไม่มีขั้นต่ำ game.
Ishii added that after this, there will be time to rest, but he will have to come back and analyze the game to fix both defense and offense, and adjust the team during this time for the next round, which will be even more difficult.
“We qualified by winning 4 games in a row. We got to this point because of the fans, the Football Association of Thailand, and the clubs that helped release the players. There are 4 more games left. We want to win every game to be the champion. And I ask everyone to continue to support us,” Ishii concluded.
Akarapong Phumwises, the midfielder who scored 2 goals in this game, said that he was glad to score. We achieved our goal and successfully won. Sneaking up to score a goal is a tactic that we have practiced, including positioning and attacking, in which we must try to get into a position where we can score a goal.
“The two goals today gave me more confidence. I want to improve myself even more,” Akarapong concluded.
