Consecutive defeat at AFF Cup 2018, 2019 Asian Cup and King’s Cup 2019 made the training bench of Thailand’s constantly changing. Coach Rajevac was sacked shortly after Thailand lost to India in the opening match at the 2019 Asian Cup and the man who replaced instead of Sirisak could only survive until the end of King’s Cup 2019.
Determined to regain his position, the Thai Football Federation (FAT) signed a contract with coach Akira Nishino. This is an extremely famous coach who has led Japanese team to the round of 1/8 World Cup 2018. To receive the service of Nishino coach, FAT has to pay salary up to 80,000 USD / month.
The capacity of Nishino coach has been verified but whether the Japanese coach has brought success to the Thai team is still a question mark. Taking over the Thai team when the 2022 World Cup qualifier was close (meeting Vietnam on September 5), Mr. Akira Nishino was more or less difficult.
He did not know much about Thai football and needed time to build the framework for Thailand. Because the time was so urgent, the selection of personnel certainly depends on the assistant team and the video tape. After meeting the army, the Japanese strategist did not have much time to forge tactics and transmit to the players of the game.
In addition, the club at Thai.League has confirmed simultaneously, they will only release the army to Thailand after August 25, the Thai.League moment to take a break to make room for the match of Thailand, This will make it difficult for the Japanese strategist. Time fund is too little with a "strange foreign" coach like Nishino coach.
Nishino coach is having difficulty in preparing for the match against Vietnam Tel.
In order to help Nishino coach, FAT will probably persuade the clubs to give players a chance to recruit sooner, but this may be hard to come true because Thai-League 1 and 2 already have a schedule and a small change also makes them The team is struggling when the road ahead is very important.
Witthaya Laohakul, director of the Thai Football Federation, also expressed concern: "I am quite worried about the new coach Akira Nishino ... It will certainly take some time for the players to get used to the training style and new training method ”.
In the opposite direction, Coach Park Hang Seo even only had 1 day to prepare for the match against Thailand. Accordingly, the schedule of V.League 2019 will end on September 1, that means, as early as September 2, the Vietnamese team will be officially mobilized.
Subtracting the time of traveling to your country and resting, stabilizing the training ground, the players of the red shirt only have two training sessions in the morning and afternoon of September 4, including a familiar practice session. main and a training session on the side yard.
However, the advantage for Korean strategist is that he has worked with Vietnamese players for a long time. Although there is very little time to prepare but the frame is already in place, especially the gameplay has been shaped, so NHM Vietnam is not too worried.
