Korawich Tasa, born in 2000, is a striker playing for Muangthong United. He is one of the new recruits called up to the Thai national team, preparing for the match against Vietnam on the evening of September 10. Before going to Hanoi, Tasa became a father. Therefore, he has more motivation and goals towards the match against Vietnam .
He said: “I am very happy and excited to be a father. But I cannot come back soon to see my child, I have to do my duty with the Thai team. I want to help the Thai team win the match against the Vietnamese team on this special occasion."
In the upcoming match against Vietnam, Thailand will be missing many key players, especially in the attack line such as Teerasil Dangda, Supachok or Supachai. Therefore, it is likely that Korawich Tasa will play against Vietnam, alongside Suphanat.
“Vietnam is a strong team in Southeast Asia, so we cannot be careless. They are playing at home, with the support of their home fans. Therefore, the Thai team needs to concentrate and give 100% of their strength.
On the training ground, things may not be at their best. But I have gotten used to this during my time with the Thai youth teams. Therefore, we have to adjust our bodies to be ready. We have to learn to adapt so that we don't make mistakes when competing," Tasa added.
Due to the impact of Typhoon Yagi, the Thai team did not practice outdoors on September 7. It was not until the afternoon of September 8 that the “War Elephants” returned to the training ground to carry out the exercises as desired. Coach Masatada Ishii focused on assessing and strengthening the players’ physical strength, and dividing the teams into opposing teams.
The Vietnam vs Thailand match will take place at 8:00 p.m. on September 10, at My Dinh Stadium, Hanoi.
