In the match that was most interested in Group B last night (May 7), U23 Thailand, with a slightly better position, encountered many difficulties before the opponent. Although taking the lead, but because of Jonathan Khemdee’s red card in the 41st minute and the inherently uncertain and disjointed gameplay from the beginning of the match, Thailand quickly broke down in the second half.

They were constantly attacked and conceded 2 goals, thereby empty-handed in the opening match. Former Thailand player now coach, Mr. Chalermwut Sangapol, shared his opinion on the match: “Unfortunately, we lost people. Admittedly, the turning point of the match came from the situation where Thailand U23 was defeated. chase people.

And another problem is the decisions to change key players. It’s not easy when the coach has to get rid of a big, strong and powerful striker who always threatens the opponent’s defense (Patrik Gustavsson).”

Mr. Sangapol also affirmed that coach Polking should have changed more drastically in the defense, instead of letting everything slip out of hand as it actually happens on the field. “At that time, the first half was almost over. Weerathep Pomphan could have stepped down to replace the center-back position,” Sangapol said.

“After that, the team should narrow the range of the wingers, pull the positions closer to strengthen the defensive position. That will be better. But once everything has happened, we can only adjust for the next game against Singapore.

That is considered a difficult task. But I still believe that with the potential of Thai players, we have a chance and we will. I would also like to send my words of encouragement to everyone.”
