Ishii said that focusing on defense is better than attacking too much and not winning. He was satisfied with getting 3 points from Malaysia.
After the “War Elephants”, the Thai national football team, narrowly defeated the “Yellow Tigers” of Malaysia 1-0, collecting 6 full points from the first 2 games in the “ASEAN Mitsubishi Electric Cup 2024” football championship.
Masatada Ishii, head coach of the Thai national team, said that we are happy to get 3 points in this game. All players tried their best. Those who came on as substitutes did their jobs well. The offensive game may not have been beautiful, so we have to fix it after this.
The reporter asked if sending in three defensive midfielders would affect the attacking game. Ishii said that he personally thought that the three were not just defensive midfielders, they could also play attacking games. Therefore, he did not think that it was too defensive.
“Of course, fans want to see an exciting attacking game, but it also depends on the opponent. We try our best. The important thing is the 3 points. No matter how many goals you win, you get 3 points. If you play a lot of attacking games but don’t win, I would rather choose a team that doesn’t attack as much but gets 3 points,” Ishii concluded.
While Supanat Mueanta said that he was glad that the โปรโมชั่นพิเศษจาก UFABET สมัครตอนนี้ รับโบนัสทันที team won, but it was because everyone played together. However, many things may not be in place yet, so he had to go back and fix the mistakes that happened in this game.
“I thought that the goal was a good time to press. Luckily, the ball was on my side. I chose to pass because I thought that whoever scored would win the team. *I also had my back to the goal. I thought that if I didn’t score, it would be more detrimental. And my teammates were in a better position, so I thought it would be better to pass,” said Supanat.
