On the afternoon of December 1, the U22 Thailand team won against the U22 Singapore team with a score of 3-0. This is the second consecutive win for coach Nishino and his team. With 6 points won, they temporarily overcame U22 Indonesia to take second place in Group B due to a better goal difference.
After this important victory, former player Kiatisak Senamuang commented on the playing style of U22 Thailand and the ticket to the next round for Mr. Nishino and his team.
"U22 Thailand has been superior in today's match, especially in the midfield area. At first, I thought that U22 Singapore could do better, but when entering the match, they mainly deployed the ball from the back. This helps our defense and midfield get the ball easily.
The recent 2 consecutive wins will help U22 Thailand have more confidence in competing for a ticket to the next round", "Zico" Thai answered on Siam Sport.
The former Thai captain still has great confidence in the chances of Thailand U22 advancing. In the past, Kiatisak also led the Thai men's football team to win the gold medal at the 27th SEA Games in Myanmar in 2013 with a generation of talented players including Kawin Tham Satchananan, Thirathorn Boonmat, Chanathip Songkrasin...
Meanwhile, President of the Football Association of Thailand (FAT) - Mr. Somyos Pumpanmuang also expressed his satisfaction after coach Nishino and his team won 2 consecutive victories to continue competing with U22 Vietnam and U22 Indonesia.
"After the victory over U22 Brunei, U22 Thailand started to feel more comfortable. Before the match against U22 Singapore, we had a lot of consideration. The coach himself also has to save the strength of the key players by rotating the squad.
That shows that we really want to focus on every game. I feel satisfied that we have won 2 consecutive matches," FAT's President told the media.
