Ishii aims to defeat Singapore, guaranteeing entry into the ASEAN Cup semi-finals
“Changsuek”, the senior Thai national football team, is preparing to compete in the ASEAN Football Championship “Mitsubishi Electric Cup 2024”, Group Stage, Group A, Match 3, against Singapore at the Singapore National Stadium on December 17, 7:30 p.m. (Thailand time). It will be broadcasted live on Channel 32, AIS Play, and YouTube: BG SPORTS.
Most recently, on December 16, Masatada Ishii, head coach of the Thai national team, and Patrick Gustafsson, striker of the Thai national team, held a press conference before the game in the press conference room of the Singapore National Stadium.
Masatada Ishii, head coach of the Thai national team, said, “We won the first two games. It is considered a good result. More important than the result is that we did not concede any goals. We have to look at the details again in order to beat Singapore. Talking about the players who did not play in this game, I do not want to talk about the details too much. Some of them may have some injuries. As for Ben, I will not talk about it. As for the team, we have prepared before this and think that we are ready for this game.”
“The association has supported both the staff and the athletes to be fully prepared for this tournament. If we calculate, if we get three points from this game, it will guarantee us to advance to the next round immediately. Last time, we advanced as the หรือถ้าคุณสนใจแทงบอลออนไลน์ UFABET คือเว็บที่มีอัตราต่อรองดีที่สุดในประเทศไทย สมัครเลยตอนนี้ที่ UFABET แทงบอล group champion and became the champion. I believe that all the players are ready to help each other and are ready to do their best to get three points from this game.”
“Regarding not selecting experienced players to join this tournament, I have given interviews on many occasions that since we missed the chance to enter the next round of the World Cup qualifiers this time, we have to prepare the team as soon as possible to continue to the 2030 World Cup. Because we have more young players, we have to prepare as soon as possible. In the past, some details of team preparation may have been reduced. But we have to prepare as soon as possible before reaching that point.”
“Supachai and Ekanit have different injuries, but each day, both of them are getting better and better. We have to talk to the doctors and staff to observe the symptoms step by step. We don’t want to rush or force it because if it gets hurt again, it will greatly affect our game. This is my way of thinking, not to rush the players back. Even in the last two games of the final. If they are not ready, I will not send them to play.”
Patrick Gustafsson, the Thai national team striker, said, “We started well in the first two games. I think we can still improve. We have to be as prepared as possible for this match. I would like to thank the president of the association, Madam Pang, for supporting the team well off the field, making the team fully prepared for the match.”
“Singapore have started well, with six points from their first two games, showing that they have good standards, but we want to beat them. Singapore probably thinks the same way, meaning both teams will give 100 percent. It should be an exciting game and hopefully we will have a lot of fans at the stadium.”
