Coach Hudson is expected to announce the list of 23 Thai national team players to participate in the FIFA ASEAN Cup at 2:00 PM on September 14. Before the list is finalized, this coach will continue to watch the 2nd round of the Thai League at the weekend to have more basis for personnel selection.
According to the pagoda land press, the competition in the midfield of the Thai national team is very fierce. Many players who did not participate in the ASEAN Cup last month all impressed in the colors of their club with goals and assists.
Thai midfielders are giving Mr. Hudson a headache in choosing personnel. The competition for midfield positions for the Thai national team at the FIFA ASEAN Cup is becoming hotter than ever after just one round in the Thai League," a newspaper wrote.
The faces mentioned include Weerathep, Ben Davis, Thitiphan Puangchan, Peeradol, Thanawat and Worachit. These are all midfielders with outstanding starts in the Thai League and putting pressure on the race to return to the national team.
Among them, Weerathep attracted the most attention when scoring 2 goals for Bangkok United. Ben Davis has 1 goal and 1 assist, while Thitiphan, Peeradol and Thanawat each scored 1 goal, and Worachit contributed 1 assist.
Among these, Worachit is the only one ever called up to the ASEAN Cup. The remaining players are all absent and are taking advantage of their performance at the club to persuade coach Hudson.
In addition, the position of some veteran players such as Chanathip Songkrasin, Theerathon Bunmathan is also questioned. Thai fans expect them to return to the national team to increase strength towards the FIFA ASEAN Cup, especially when facing the Vietnamese team.
