Sirisak Yodyardthai stated that he has learned thoroughly the information of Vietnam NT’s squad list and he is confident to take back the ASEAN King’s crown to Thailand.
Sirisak Yodyardthai shared:
Looking to Vietnam NT's list published recently, we can see that Park Hang-seo uses almost all the players from 2019 Asian Cup. I have lots of those players’ information and know them inside out. However, as they have not played any match since January, I don’t know their current style.
But I believe that all Thai players want to encounter Vietnam. The upcoming match is to classify which team is the best ASEAN team. We have services of three players playing in Japan namely Theerathon Bunmathan, Chanathip Songkrasin, and Thitiphan Puangchan. Having those players in the line-up, Thailand NT is definitely more powerer.”
At the same time, Siam Sport highly evaluated Vietnam NT’s list with such the successful stars in Asian as Cong Phuong, Xuan Truong, and Van Lam. Besides, the newspaper also reckons the youthfulness and outstanding talents of Doan Van Hau and Nguyen Quang Hai.
Recently, Thailand football has been underwhelmed against Vietnamese football, leading to its desire to face Vietnam in the national level. As a result, both teams are craving for the game day by day.
2019 King's Cup is the 47th one with 4 participants: Thailand (114), India (101), Vietnam (98), and Curacao (82). King's Cup is an "official friendly game" managed by FIFA, which means its results will have impaction on the FIFA table especially the classification of World Cup 2022 Qualifiers.
