• The first game in which a goal was conceded in the 2023 Asian Cup and Thailand was immediately eliminated
But it was considered that Thailand’s fight against Uzbekistan was fun, especially at the end
• Therefore, there were many good aspects to be picked up on. As for what is waiting next for the War Elephants army?
play as a team
Created a lot of buzz with the surprise line-up of Masatada Ishii who did something “unexpected” again. When entering the field of the Round of 16 in the Asian Cup.
Almost every media outlet expects that Ishii will return to using the first 11 as in the first 2 games, winning against Kyrgyzstan and drawing with Oman. Which is equivalent to “changing the whole set” from the closing match of the group that used 11 substitutes. Draw with Saudi Arabia 0-0
But what Ishii did was more complicated and unexpected than that by organizing the first 11 people as a surprise: Pattawat Khammai – Teerathon Bunmathan, Elias Doloh, Pansa Hemwiboon, Nicholas. Mickelson – Sarach Yooyen, Weerathep Pomphan – Pathompon Charoenrattanapirom, Worachit Kanitsribamphen, Rungrat Phumchantuk – Supachai Jaided
What came out as expected was only a defensive game. Which goes back to using the set that went on the field in the first 2 games, but from the middle up. It was considered more than expected with the sending of Sarach Yooyen to pair with Veerathep Pomphan and the attacking game to be Pathomphon Charoenrattanapirom, Worachit Kanitsribamphen and Rungrat Phumjantuk who coordinated together behind the striker Pao Supachai. resolute
Rungrat Phumjanthuek: Making his debut in the Asian Cup tournament. The first ยูฟ่าเบท game and this is the 7th national service match for the 32-year-old wide receiver from True Bangkok United.
It has been widely analyzed that Ishii’s game reflects his confidence in his players and their utmost “team play”.
When using fresh characters such as Pathomphon – Worachit – Rungrat from the beginning, apart from being contrary to competitors’ expectations, (Until they have the right to take the wrong way) and it is still Ishii’s wish for all 3 to use their power to agitate the defense. Uzbekistan uses pressing force to chase and cut the ball up top first.
Then, when the time is right, big players like Supachok Sarachat. Suphanat Mueanta or Bodin Phala will parade onto the field with 100% physical condition to attack the Uzbekistan backline. Which is starting to show signs of fatigue during the game.
This is a great tactical idea provided by Masatada Ishii.
