According to information from the Thai team, Madam Pang organized a party on the evening of August 11 to create a comfortable atmosphere and boost morale for the players before the semi-finals. She shared and encouraged the whole team, and presented gifts to the players to recognize their outstanding performance in the group stage.
The media from the land of the Golden Temple said that the members of the Thai team had a relaxing time together. This activity takes place in the context of the team preparing for the semi-final matches with Singapore.
In the group stage, Thailand won all 4 matches against Laos, Malaysia, Philippines and Myanmar. However, coach Anthony Hudson is still focused on physical and tactical preparation. According to Thai newspapers, the team returned to training from August 10 and maintained high training intensity, including training sessions aimed at counter-attacking ability.
The Singapore team is an opponent that makes Thailand cautious. Midfielder Worachit Kanitsribampen commented: "Facing Singapore now is a big challenge. We must be determined to win away in the first leg to take the advantage.
The opponent has many players playing in Thailand, so I believe they also understand our squad and our playing style very well. Frankly, facing them recently has become more difficult, defeating them now is no longer easy".
Thailand will play away against Singapore at 8 pm on August 15 at Jalan Besar, before returning to Bangkok to play the second leg on August 18.
