War Elephants fly to the Philippines, Ishii points out that the Philippines is stronger than the King’s Cup.
“Changsuek”, the senior Thai national football team, is preparing to compete in the ASEAN Football Championship “Mitsubishi Electric Cup 2024”, the first semi-final round, meeting “Tagalog” Philippines at Rizal Memorial Stadium, Manila, Philippines on December 27 at 8:00 p.m. (Thailand time), broadcast live on Channel 32, True Visions Channel 667, AIS Play, Nok Plus Page and YouTube: BG Sports.

Most recently, on the afternoon of December 25, Masatada Ishii, head coach of the Thai national team, led his team from Suvarnabhumi Airport to Manila, Philippines, before practicing in the evening at Rizal Memorial Stadium, the actual competition venue.
Ishii said that the Thai national team had more time to practice than in the first round, trying to focus on intensive practice, tutoring tactics or various details. The team is now ready. As for playing on the artificial turf, he had the opportunity to practice twice and thought there would be no problem.
The War Elephants’ coach talked about the physical condition of the players, saying that all three injured players, Ekanit Panya, Supachai Sarachat and Benjamin Davis, are getting better and are able to train with the team, except for Ekanit, who has only just started playing with the ball.
When asked about facing the Philippines, which Thailand recently won 3-1 in the 50th King’s Cup in Songkhla Province, Ishii said that the Philippines is now better than before after having a Spanish coach. Their positioning and defense are good, so it definitely won’t be as easy as when they met.
“Mike” Patiwat Khammai, the number 1 goalkeeper of the Thai national team, said that playing on artificial grass, he will try to adjust to the best conditions. He is quite concerned about playing on artificial grass, but he must be ready to fight. The Philippines is definitely a quality team, having made it to the semi-finals. As for the defensive game in the last two games, where they conceded goals in both games, normally after the สมัคร UFABET วันนี้ รับเครดิตฟรีสำหรับสมาชิกใหม่ game even if no goals were conceded, we will talk about it anyway. We encourage each other to concentrate more.
