Suddenly losing to a weak opponent, U23 Thailand caused a great controversy before the day of U23 Vietnam match
Ahead of the 2022 AFC U23 Championship, Thailand U23 had a practice match with U23 Hong Kong (China). Having lost to Cambodia U23 2-4 in the qualifying round, U23 Hong Kong was underestimated by Thai experts and considered as a “green army” for teachers and coaches Worrawoot Srimaka to practice attacking exercises.
However, the result of the match surprised everyone, Thailand U23 not only could not concede a goal, but also conceded a goal and then lost 0-1 at home.
Although the Thai U23 training team emphasized that “the results should not be taken too seriously”, the media and fans of the Golden Temple country were still extremely worried.
One of the most controversial topics is picking who to drop before the big tournament. Compared to the 31st SEA Games, the Thai U23 force is expected to have many changes with the support of a series of stars from the Thai League as well as from abroad.

With many disturbances in a short time, Thai fans questioned the ability of coach Worrawoot Srimaka to build a smooth and harmonious play. Remember in the Asian U23 qualifying round, Thailand U23 also played quite stalemate and had to ask for help from Laos U23 (won U23 Mongolia) to continue.
In addition, the details revealed in the match against Hong Kong U23 also confused the media. Specifically, Hong Kong U23 players played with more blood than necessary and there were some dangerous foul situations. The away team received a red card and injured some Thai players.
It is expected that tomorrow, U23 Thailand will close the list of 23 players registered for the Asian U23 tournament. The first match of War Elephants is against U23 Vietnam on June 2.
U23 Thailand has had 3 appearances in the U23 Asian Finals. The best achievement that War Elephants achieved is reaching the quarterfinals of the 2020 tournament held at home.
