After the second leg of the 2024 ASEAN Cup final in Thailand, player Pansa Hemviboon was criticized by Thai fans for scoring an own goal.
Many people even asked him to leave the national team because of his mistakes that led to the team's failure.
After the 2024 ASEAN Cup, the image of Hemviboon walking to the stands, hugging his wife and shedding tears after his team's defeat attracted attention. His wife, Cheesesse Nook, encouraged her husband when the players and teammates did not have the desired results.
Pansa Hemviboon (born in 1990) is a member of Buriram United FC. In the first leg of the ASEAN Cup final, Hemviboon was the captain.
Pansa Hemviboon has a happy marriage with his wife. The couple got married on November 3, 2018. The wedding was attended by many famous Thai players such as: Sasalak Haiprakon, Anon Amornlertsak, Korakot Wiriyaudomsiri, Rattanakorn Maikami...
Four years after their marriage, the couple had a daughter named Thansai. On his personal Instagram, which has more than 175,000 followers, Pansa often posts photos of his wife and children, expressing his love for his wife.
Nook and her daughter have often cheered on Pansa at matches and lifted the national championship trophy with him. The player and his wife share a passion for traveling and visiting countries around the world.
In a commemorative post on his personal page Cheesesse Nook, Pansa commented sweetly: “I miss you, your pictures are so cute, I love you so much.” The 9X player called his wife his number 1 fan.
When Pansa was under pressure due to criticism from fans, Cheesesse Nook posted a photo of her husband looking sad after the second leg of the 2024 ASEAN Cup final in Thailand and wrote: "No one wants to make mistakes. The players are equally sad. Yong (Hemviboon's nickname - PV) has worked very hard and tired. Now, encouragement is the most important thing. Please don't criticize each other. Let's fight again."
The Thai national team defender also shared the post and thanked his wife for her encouragement.
Responding to the Thai press, Pansa apologized and asked fans to forgive him. But he has been criticized by fans for many days, and is considered one of the factors that caused Thailand to lose at home.
