What will the Thai team do in the face of the 'crisis' of surplus?
(Baonghean.vn) - The most common point is that both Mr. Park and Akira Nishino are never satisfied with what they have. After only 3 matches in charge of the Thai national team, coach Akira Nishino has adjusted most of the personnel in all lines.
The most common point is that these coaches choose the personnel they need, according to the tactical requirements of the team, without caring about reputation. When taking over, Mr. Akira Nishino chose goalkeeper Siwarak Tedsungnoen instead of Kawin Thamsatchanan, even giving the captain's armband to this number 23.
If Mr. Park gave two opportunities to Viet Phong and Tien Linh, which surprised the experts, Mr. Akira Nishino is also doing the same with the "unknown, insignificant" players. It seems that Mr. Park has realized that he cannot use Anh Duc in the center forward position forever, and Cong Phuong's suitable position is on the bench.
Mr. Park "makes Mr. Nishino suffer"
Chanathip Songkrasin is the player that coach Akira Nishino has expected the most from the beginning of the 2022 World Cup qualifiers in Asia until now. But seeing him stuck against the Vietnamese team (drawing 0-0 at Thammasat Stadium) completely "turned off" the midfield of the team under coach Park Hang-seo.

That story, which is also happening in the Vietnam national team, has forced Mr. Park to think about finding someone to replace Van Quyet, the best player in V.League for 2 consecutive years. He needs a smoothly operating system rather than an outstanding individual, so that the whole team has to depend heavily on that star.
In Thailand's last two matches in the 2022 World Cup qualifiers in Asia, the Golden Temple team won all. Defeating Indonesia 3-0 at the opponent's Gelora Bung Karno stadium, and defeating the theoretically strongest team in Group G, the UAE, 2-1 at home at Thammasat Stadium.
If in the draw with Vietnam, Mr. Akira Nishino tested left midfielder Supachok Sarachat as a center forward, with relative success, then in the historic 2-1 victory against UAE, when "Thai Messi" was injured, he used Ekanit Panya.
Akira Nishino’s experiments are giving the Thai national team a completely different look. Without the “Thai Messi”, the two young midfielders Supachok Sarachat and Ekanit Panya played extremely well, contributing 3/5 goals of Thailand in the past 2 matches, against Indonesia and UAE. Notably, Supachok Sarachat and Ekanit Panya were voted the best players of these 3 matches.
Oversupply crisis
When Chanathip Songkrasin was injured and did not play in the matches against Indonesia and UAE, young midfielders Supachok and Ekanit were able to play more comfortably. It seemed that the juniors had completely escaped the shadow of Chanathip Songkrasin, who was already famous in the continent. On the left wing, Ekanit attacked like a whirlwind, while in the role of supporting striker T.Dangda, Supachok tormented the opposing defenders with his extremely strange left foot.

It seems that when he comes to My Dinh Stadium, Mr. Akira Nishino will not change the 4-2-3-1 formation that is running very smoothly, but choosing who to play at this time is not an easy matter. If the right wing Sasalak Haiprakhon is in extremely good form, the UAE coach even wishes to bring the Buriram United player to his team.
Among names like T.Dangda, Supachok, Ekanit, Chanathip Songkrasin, Suphanat, I don’t know how Mr. Akira Nishino will assemble them because they are all versatile players, in brilliant form. “Thai Messi” is the player who has just returned from injury, but if he is not allowed to play, the pressure from Thai public opinion and the Thai football world will be on Mr. Nishino.
Does Mr. Nishino dare to learn from Mr. Park???
