Still have to learn a lot! “Suphachok” opens up to the Japanese media about his 1 year career in Sapporo

This is the first time that “Shake” has given an interview to the local sports newspaper. In it he talks about his past career and his goals for the future. and love for Sapporo, including Japan as well

– It’s been a year now since you moved to Sapporo.

  • “I’m excited every day that I come to the team because I’m in a learning phase. The first year has passed. Playing football is not much different. And last year was the first time I had to live abroad. I’m familiar with it to some extent but I still have a lot to learn as well.”

– Let me ask again, did you have any hesitation when you left your hometown?

  • “I think what kind of football awaits me in Japan? What will my life be like? I thought about many things before moving on. I want to choose the best way.”

– In modern football that has to press hard on opponents, you can absorb the style of Mihailo Petrovic, the coach of the team.

  • “To be honest, when I was in Thailand, I didn’t experience much high pressure. So at first I was a bit shocked, but Misha taught me in detail because I had to start from scratch. Of course, this style requires a lot of energy like any other style. But I think it’s a much more effective and fun style.”

– Last season you provided 3 assists in 7 league games, while he hasn’t even started in the league this season after moving to the club permanently. But have played 6 games, which although the work is difficult, but you have already scored 2 goals in the Tosu Cup Luwan Cup away game in April Including making the first goal in a league game on the day of the Shonan meeting in May

  • “Not scoring goals puts some pressure on us. For me, the goal that wins the team is a goal that means a lot to me. I want to be able to do that too.”

– You are a beloved star called “National Treasure” Thailand has a lot of attention about you. Until you are already like a bridge between Thailand and Japan.

  • “I’m glad that coming to play with Sapporo has made Hokkaido even more interesting. I feel fine if I am the one who started this trend. And I want more people to come here. If you meet him, you can say hello to those Thai people. Of course, Japanese people can do it too!”

– Is there a place you would like to recommend in particular?

  • “Even though I’m an introverted person. But the streets of Sapporo were like cleansing for me. Mount Moiwa near Asahiyama Memorial Park also has a very beautiful view. It helps me feel refreshed when playing football for a long time.”

– You seem to get on well with your teammates.

  • “Everyone knows how I feel. and encouraging me by telling me when it was time to keep the ball with me. People who often say it is (Fukai) Kazuki who knows when to pass the ball. And there’s also an interesting guy like (Nakajima) Taiga. There aren’t many people in Thailand with his personality.”

– You like Japanese food too.

  • “I love sushi so much that I want to eat it twice a week. My favorite sushi is tuna and salmon with added wasabi. Whether it’s Triton, Kantaro or Nagoya Katei, it’s all delicious!”

– What Japanese words do you use often?

  • “Pay!”

– This is your first time giving an interview to a sports newspaper in Japan.

  • “Actually, Thailand also has a sports newspaper. And there are media on social networks too. In Japan, I don’t see comments that are as harsh as in Thailand, where comments like that usually hurt me. Hoshi readers, please treat me warmly. and would like to convey that to the reporters as well (laughs)”

– The last question, what is the thing you most want to achieve in the future?

  • “The aim this year is to win a title together with Sapporo. If I get the chance, then I can see in the picture that I can help the team. I will continue to do well and be an important part of that. Thanks for your constant encouragement! “…
