Thai football has been on the decline recently. Therefore, the match against Vietnam is very meaningful for the team wearing the blue shirt. In addition, this is also the debut match of coach Akira Nishino in front of Thai fans, after signing a contract with a salary of more than 970,000 USD. The Japanese coach wants to assert himself by winning against Vietnam and also nurtures the dream of joining Thailand in the third round of the 2022 World Cup qualifiers.
