Thai fans lost all faith after losing 0-4 to U23 Vietnam

On the homepage of Siamsport magazine, a Thai fan named Kero Kero commented: “I think it was not an accident. In terms of physical strength, tactics, formation and playing attitude, U23 Thailand was inferior to Vietnam. At the end of the match, the Vietnamese players played as if they were walking. The development of Vietnamese football is really scary. They have a great opportunity to participate in a big and prestigious tournament before Thailand, for example, the 2020 Tokyo Olympics.”

Another Thai fan Pawanat Jitchana also spoke out very harshly: “Thai football should review itself. This defeat is terrible, this team cannot fight. We need to do something, I have lost all faith!”.

“The Korean coach works very seriously. Vietnamese football is too strong and plays with great unity. Our players are fighting with each other. We have to accept this defeat. The skills of young Vietnamese players are much better than those of Thailand. Especially player number 19 - Quang Hai. I thought that U23 Thailand would face the Korean team,” said fan Watchara Butin.

On the homepage of the Thailand FA, many Thai fans also harshly criticized the poor and weak performance of their team at My Dinh. They called for coach Kiatisuk to return to lead the Thai national team.

A series of sports newspapers in Thailand put up quite bitter headlines when talking about the home team's disastrous defeat. "Nightmare day" is the phrase that Siamsport used to describe the humiliation that the Thai people had to endure in Vietnam. "Supachai was sent off, U23 Thailand lost badly to the future generation of Vietnamese football", Siamsport wrote.

With low morale, even main striker Supachai could not keep calm, the leading sports newspaper of the Golden Temple country analyzed the loss of U23 Thailand.

Also emphasizing Supachai’s red card, SMM Sport used the verb “punch” to comment on the number 9 of U23 Thailand: “The War Elephants used key players for the match against U23 Vietnam. When the score was 0-2, Supachai threw a punch at the face of a Vietnamese player. The referee immediately pulled out a red card to dismiss him.”

Bola Sport (Indonesia) used the phrase “knocked out” when talking about the victory of coach Park Hang-seo and his team against their opponents. Meanwhile, Liputan6 news site said that the “Golden Star” had a perfect record in the 2020 AFC U23 Championship qualifiers when scoring a total of 11 goals and not conceding any.
