Ishii praises Vietnam

Most recently, on December 31, Masatada Ishii, head coach of the Thai national team, led the สมัครสมาชิก UFABET วันนี้ รับเครดิตฟรีทุกวัน team of players from Suvarnabhumi Airport to Vietnam to prepare for the competition.

Ishii said that we have some injured players, but the rest are trying to recover as best as possible to return to the field, and we hope that no one else will be injured in the remaining period.

“I heard that Vietnam closed the league to prepare for this tournament. They tried their best in this tournament and did well in both offense and defense. In every aspect, you could say. Compared to other teams, they are a very good team,” Ishii said.

The War Elephants’ coach also said that regarding Raphaelson (Nguyen Xuan Son), the Vietnamese naturalized striker, he sees him as a dangerous player and has scored a lot of goals. We have analyzed the game in every encounter with our opponents, but sometimes when we analyze it, when we encounter the real situation, it doesn’t go as we analyzed. Therefore, it depends on the work, what we will do to get the best results when visiting them.

“We will try our best in away games and if possible, we want to win. When we come back to play at home, we want the fans to come and cheer us on, like in the game against the Philippines. If possible, we want the stadium to be full. That would be a great thing. We invite the fans to come and cheer us on, both in home and away games. Please watch on TV. Happy New Year! May this year be a good year for all the fans in the new year,” Ishii concluded.

Jonathan Khemdee, the defender of the Thai national team, said that he wanted to win and play to help the team. We will have to wait and see about the match against Vietnam. As for the match against the Philippines, Supanat Mueanta must be praised for fighting hard. He had a fever but wanted to help the team. I am glad that he came on and scored a goal.

“The game against Vietnam is a difficult one. We have to go there first and the stadium will probably be full of fans. But we will try to do well. I think we can do it. We will try to attack and win. And try not to concede goals,” said Jonathan.

While Benjamin James Davis said, We fought together and won. For me, I feel very proud because my body is not 100% yet, but I tried to do my best for the team. The next game, I will do my best again. I hope to win back. Our goal is to win for sure and do our best for the country.

The Thai national team will play in the final round of the AFF Championship “Mitsubishi Electric Cup 2024”. The first match will be an away match against Vietnam at Viet Tri Stadium, Putuo City on January 2, 2025, before returning to play at Rajamangala Stadium on January 5, 2025
