Vietnam - Thailand match: Coach Park and his students must defuse the 'explosive' Supachok
(Baonghean.vn) - The player born in 1998 is one of the most important "cards" of coach Nishino Akira and is the extremely dangerous "fuse" of the Thai team in the left wing forward position.
In the opening match of Group G in the 2022 World Cup qualifiers, Asia region, between Thailand and Vietnam, taking place at Thammasat Stadium on September 5, Supachok was the most impressive face of the home team. The striker wearing the number 7 shirt often created storms on goalkeeper Dang Van Lam's goal with his fast and skillful ball handling.
If it weren’t for the alertness and excellence of Que Ngoc Hai, Bui Tien Dung, Dang Van Lam… the Vietnamese team would have had a hard time coming away with a goalless draw. The most notable situation occurred in the final minute of extra time, when Supachok had a face-to-face encounter with goalkeeper Dang Van Lam, but luckily for the Vietnamese team, the home team’s player was unable to capitalize on the opportunity.

This is not an easy task for Do Duy Manh and his teammates. Currently, Supachok is in quite good form. In addition to 9 goals for Buriram Club in Thai League 2019, the 21-year-old player also contributed 2 goals for the "war elephants" in the 2022 World Cup qualifiers. In the 3-0 victory of the Thai team against the host team Indonesia, Supachok scored a double.

Besides his ability to operate independently, Supachok also showed a close connection with the surrounding "satellites", especially with the Dangda - Chanathip duo. Under coach Nishino Akira, these 3 players together created a dangerous "attack triangle" of the "Land of the Golden Temple" team. To separate and contain them is an extremely difficult goal for coach Park Hang-seo's students./.
