Siam Sport appreciates the depth of the Thai team and expresses sorrow when Nishino ’ randomness teachers and students lost because of a decisiveness from VAR .
team astuteness is considered an important component throughout Thailand ’ s U23 Asia 2020 travel. In the final catch against Iraq, coach Akira Nishino replaced seven positions in the starting line-up. In the pit against Saudi Arabia, the pillars of the former rest are back .
Thailand played with four attacks including Suphanat Mueanta, Supachai Jaided, Supachok Sarachat and Anon Amornlerdsak. Despite many players, Thailand still played smoothly and joined well in the first 20 minutes of the meet .
Compared to the 4-2-3-1 system that Nishino normally applies to the Thai team, the U23 team came out with a 4-4-2 diagram on January 18, with the intention of beating the opponent.

Suphanat and Anon are constantly moving in the inner corridor ( the sphere between the bound and the center ), and Supachok and Supachai actively move back, supporting the ball from the downline. This style of bring intelligibly shows Nishino ’ s understand of the opponent, while giving Thailand an impressive first half, despite being underestimated .
In the second half, when physical intensity went depressed, Thailand had to retreat to play counterattack. In the 78th minute, hitter Abdullah Al-Hamdan fell in the penalty area of ​​Thailand.

initially, reviewer Ahmed Al-Kaf gave Saudi Arabia a free kick on the boundary of the penalty area because Soorawit pulled Al-Hamdan shirt from outside the cycle of 16m50. But after consulting VAR, the Oman referee gave the West Asian team a penalty, despite the fierce reaction of Nishino ’ mho teachers and students when he thought that Soorawit ’ s ball was not on Al-Hamdan ’ randomness foot.

Siam Sport considered this a VAR incidental, because the technology did not require the referee Al-Kaf to review the video recording. In accession, the layout of the arbitration besides made the Thai newspaper questioned because all four control arbitrators were from West Asia .
Although there was not a lot time to find a equalizer, Thailand was not dismayed. Nishino coach immediately put Worachit and Ben Davis on the sales talk to strengthen the attack. however, “ War Elephants ” can not penetrate the rigorous defensive structure of Saudi Arabia .
failure in the quarterfinals but Thailand brought many affirmative signals. In addition to the first round of the Asian U23 group, Nishino teachers and students have specific and effective plans to face the lead continental teams such as Australia, Iraq and Saudi Arabia. Young Thai players dare to play football, and stay cool even when faced with adverse decisions. They actually won the hearts of Thai fans .
