Isara Sritaru accepts the Thai U-23 squad and must adjust his play and attacking play.
Isara Sritaru admits the Thai Under-23 team must adjust the game. We started as we trained. But there may be a little less time for confrontations due to the physical condition of the players. But all the students were considered to be in very good condition initially. Recently, we have adapted to playing more attacking games, but in the final zone we are still indecisive. South Korean players try to reach the ball quickly. This makes it difficult for our players who definitely want to play and move the ball forward. So I had to return it first.
“Looking at the whole thing, it is considered that the youngsters tried to follow the tactics that we practiced. Only with the capabilities of the opponent including the body in the first half, we may not be able to keep the ball in the front line due to the height of our opponent. But in the second half, many people started to Keeping the ball. Defensively, we tried to work on the weaknesses in each position to improve.
In the next match, we have to see who we meet first. But the first thing to return to and improve is the issue of game creation. Including the degree of finishing in the final area. We need to adjust the way we create games to have more diverse formats. I want the fans to encourage the young people. Because everyone worked hard. “I want everyone to come and support us,” Issara said.
