Borrowing U23 Vietnam, Thai newspaper "rubs salt" in U23 Thailand
Thai press still hasn't stopped talking about the failure of their U23 team and always mentions Vietnam as a lesson.
Recently, SiamSport published an article analyzing why Thai football failed at the U23 Asian Cup. In this tournament, the Thais lost all three matches in the group stage against North Korea, Japan and Palestine. Meanwhile, neighbors like Malaysia and Vietnam reached the quarter-finals and finals.

According to SiamSport, Thailand seems to have become complacent in thinking that just by putting out a moderate squad, they can win regional tournaments. And the fact that the FAT (Football Association of Thailand) hastily handed over all the teams from the Thai national team to the youth teams to foreign coaches is also a mistake, because it ignores the legacy and dedication of Thai coaches.
"Vietnam and Malaysia have had long-term preparation, based on many years of investment in youth football. Vietnamese football has participated in the U20 World Cup while Thailand has not, managers should remember that" - SiamSport emphasized.
Previously, this newspaper also commented that Thailand is no longer the king of Southeast Asia when writing: "Now we cannot consider ourselves the king of Southeast Asian football, it will not be strange if we lose to other opponents in ASEAN such as Vietnam or Malaysia".
