Vietnamese Football Team Draws on Thai Yard 0-0 Fifa World Cup 2022

Most Thai newspapers published comments about the home team being powerless in "revenge" for Vietnam (VN) after being held 0-0 at home at Thammasat in the second round of Group G qualifying matches two 2022 World Cups take place on the evening of 5.9.

In the article about the match, Siam Sport newspaper was more or less disappointed for the debut of coach Nishino when Thailand could not beat Vietnam. According to this newspaper, the Japanese military leader has changed significantly when he launched with a 4-4-2 tactic and changed it to 4-1-2-1-2. However, the most needed of "War Elephants" is a true striker to be able to convert opportunities into goals.

“The Thai team held the ball well and controlled the game in the first half but could not penetrate the tight defensive play of Vietnam. The attacking style of Thailand was better in the second half with long ball play and the times when the goal was very close. However, the Vietnamese defense still shows its calm to prevent Thailand's opportunities, ”said Siam Sport.

Thai coach: "We are stronger and play better than Vietnam"

This sheet then quoted some experts' comments that Nishino coach was somewhat wrong when launching the non-striker lineup and this needs to be overcome immediately in the match against Indonesia. “The Thai national team cannot play their style today and everything has to be fixed.

Another former Thai player, Somchai Chuayboonchum (coach of Sisaket FC) also emphasized that the game of "War Elephants" operates "not well" before a VN with too good preparation. He said that Nishino's tactical scheme was wrong for Thailand when there were no strikers in the starting line-up.

Analyzing the problems of the home team, Mr. Chuayboonchum frankly said: “I personally think that the problem of Thailand is about scoring goals. We played against Vietnam and not inferior to the opponent at all. Only thing, the wrong thing of Thailand is that it is impossible to score goals because there is no real striker, while the midfielder is too much but can not deploy border attacks.

Thailand's goal is 3 points, but football like this is not offensive football. In fact, it's not that the coach has too little time to prepare for his debut, but the tactics that the Thai team is wrong. We played well but created opportunities to score a goal not. The tactical formula had no strikers, but tested without any effect. This needs to be changed. ”

Matichon has the same opinion as Siam Sport about the Thai performance in the opening match of the Nishino era. Meanwhile, in an opinion in this newspaper, famous player Kiatisak (former Thai coach) said that it is impossible to blame "War Elephants" for not winning in this match when it is difficult to show strength in slippery pitch conditions. wet ball.

“I think 1 point in this match is very valuable for Thailand. It is impossible to make an accurate judgment when the game takes place on a slippery surface. Some Thai players did not show their qualities in this situation. However, it must be admitted that Vietnam still retains its style of play when it is very good with the counter-attack speed and always brings real challenges to Thailand in this match, ”concluded player Kiatisak.
