The Thai national team has completed the group stage of the AFC U-23 Championship Qualifier Group J in Mongolia. by being second After the last game, Malaysia 0-0
before the game This Thai national team has an easy condition to automatically qualify for the final round, namely to defeat the neighboring team in the south. If that’s the case, “War Elephants” will end up winning the group championship. without having to look at the results of the other match
However, at the end of the long whistle at the artificial turf MAF Football Center in Ulan Bator, although the team of “Coach Yong” Worawut Srimaka will work into the second place in the group. But going through to the final with second place. Still have to win many more.
before getting to that condition Let’s see what results from the scoreless draw of Malaysia.
11 players of the Thai national team Good news is received when Oxford United midfielder Benjamin Davis is fit enough to be named in the starting XI. After being injured during the early game against Mongolia in the first game
As for the other players, they are still the same front players that “Coach Yong” has always used. The defensive line includes Nakin Wisetchat, Jonathan Khemdee, Anusak Jaipetch, Chaturapat Sattham, and Thanawat in the middle. N Kungjitthaworn controls the game with Irrfan Dolo and Benjamin Davis, with the offensive line being the duty of Sakulchai Sangtopho, Chakkrit Phalapon and Kornwit Tasa.
However, the game passed less than 10 minutes. The problem that the Thai team has always faced is the injury. Sakulchai Saengthopho, the edge of the line from Kasetsart FC, put his foot on the ground at the wrong moment until he was injured. Can’t continue playing, then Samphan Kasee enters the field. come play instead
Halfway through the first half of the game, the “Yellow Tigers” did slightly better. Relying on running press to find the Thai team until our players have trouble surviving
And when it came to the 24th minute, the boss of this team chose to take off Benjamin Davis and send Teerasak Phaiphimai down.
Still, Malaysia continues to break the rhythm of the Thai team’s game. Played a heavy ball at Thanawat until he was almost carried away from the field and for the first 45 minutes, the Thai national team had no chance to score a goal at all.
Into the second half as Malaysia, the team has a chance to win more And almost took the lead from Harith Adam, the defensive line that added up, hit the rhythm of the corner kick. But fortunately, the Thais managed to escape because the ball hit the crossbar.
Malaysia, who are playing comfortably now because one point is enough for them to advance to the next round.
It can be called game experience or trickery. Because at the end of the shin “Yellow Tigers” playing with more time Try to slow down the game. to retrieve the results of this competition
Entering the last 10 minutes, the Thai team accelerates at full speed. Create a chance to shine a goal from a long shot from “Chao Kan” and a shot solo from Kornwit Tasa, but until then until he survived, he still hasn’t passed the hand of Malay goalkeeper Muhammad Ghani.
from the resulting score and the style of the game that came out Must admit that the Thai team’s playing system is still inferior to the “Yellow Tigers”. It doesn’t happen at all in this game.
Wrong with the Malays, although they play with heavy balls, the passing and winning in a one-on-one duel are better than Thai.
Even in the past, Malaysia will score less goals. But their head coach wasn’t worried about it. Because in the end, the team was able to grab the desired result.
As for the Thai national team, still have to win in the finals by being ranked 2nd best from 10 groups of 4 teams because of the results of another match in the group that will compete at 2 p.m. between Mongolia and PDR. Laos affects qualification
Because at the moment Thailand has 5 points from 3 games, but if Mongolia does not lose, it will make them finish 3rd in the group, which will make the Lao PDR finish the last place.
Here, the problem will arise with the Thai national team. Because measuring the best 2nd place against the other 10 groups will eliminate the result of the match against the team at the end of the group. Because some groups have less than 4 teams.
If that happens, the Thai team will have only 2 points left to measure with the other group from Mongolia and Malaysia’s draw.
And if Thailand will take the score to measure with other groups with more points than that? What must it be?
The only answer is that Lao PDR must defeat Mongolia to guarantee 3rd place and kick Mongolia to the bottom of the plum. Of course, if this is the case, the Thai team will be cut off just one point. And there will be points in hand to measure with the other 9 groups with 4 points
