Mano Pölking “We will do their best to become the champion.”

"Mano Pölking" head coach of Thailand national team Warn players in the team not to be absolutely reckless.

Although the statistics against Indonesia are superior. Ready to be fully committed to leading the team to win the championship

“We know the statistics of Indonesia very well. And they’ve come close to the championship many times. But whoever comes to the finals must hope for the championship anyway. Indonesia are a good team and have been resting more than us for a day, but it doesn’t affect the Thai national team. We will analyze the gameplay, come up with a game plan and choose the best players on the pitch for this game. You don’t have to think too much about statistics. Because both teams should be at this point both. And the Thai team will do their best to become the champion.” Mano said in Pre-match Press conference

“Right now I think it’s too early to talk about being No. 1 in ASEAN. The Thai team still has a goal of winning the title home. There are still two difficult games left and we will have to concentrate on that.”

“Indonesia is a team that can play in a variety of ways. Like the game against Vietnam, they were able to defend well and keep the result 0-0, while other games They showed a dangerous attacking game. Therefore, the Thai team must be prepared to cope and plan well. Of course, now it’s back to a 180-minute game where everything is equal at 0-0 again. Thailand will have to start as well as the game against Vietnam. Because it will help you plan your second game well.”

“Over the past 6 matches, the Thai national team has been in possession of the ball more than every match. And possession of the ball is already the strength of the team. don’t think it’s a problem Perhaps the South Korean coach looked at some parts of the game against Vietnam and misunderstood.

“Unfortunately for Chatchai Butprom, who suffered an anterior cruciate ligament injury, Chatchai was an important figure in the team that helped the team reach the final and he wanted to play in both games as well, while Theerathorn was One of the most experienced players on the team and a quality player. However, we will not have Theerathorn just for the first 90 minutes. It’s good to have Theerathorn’s freshness back in the second game as well. As for the representatives of the Thai national team, there are already good quality players on the bench. so no problem

“Of course the stadium is not very good because we have played many matches. But when he (Shin Tae-young) says that our team does not have good control of the ball. So it’s not a bad stadium for us anyway.”

“What impressed me most in the Indonesian team was the way they played. It’s a young and hard working team. Personally, the coach is very experienced. But the Thai national team will only look at their own team. It’s two difficult games, but they will do their best to bring home the championship trophy.”
