Thailand Will Appear In Indonesia's Kandang, Madam Pang Was-was
The manager of the Thailand national team, Nualphan Lamsam or Madam Pang, was made wary of the continuation of the 2022 AFF Cup group phase. The reason is, in the fourth match, his troops will visit the headquarters of the Indonesian national team.
Thailand is scheduled to travel to the Gelora Bung Karno Main Stadium (SUGBK), which is the headquarters of the Garuda Squad. The match will take place on Thursday, December 29 at 16.30 WIB.
A few days before the match, tickets provided by the committee as many as 70 thousand sheets continued to run low and were invaded by spectators. This will be an illustration that the stadium will be filled with support from the host supporters.
This situation is what Madam Pang is worried about, she said the presence of supporters could be another weapon for the hosts when facing the War Elephant Team.
"Visiting Indonesia may be the most difficult match in the preliminary round," said Madam Pang, quoted by SiamSports on Wednesday, December 28.
"We have to be careful with the news that tickets are sold out. That will be a different atmosphere than the first two games," he explained.
Even though she was filled with worry, Madam Pang was sure that the meeting between Thailand and Indonesia would present an interesting match. Moreover, he is aware that his team is targeting the maximum target.
"But we believe it will be an interesting game and a good test, where we will be eyeing the best results," continued Madam Pang.
Thailand is currently at the top of Group A of the 2022 AFF Cup standings with a total of 6 points. The points are the same as Indonesia has, but Thailand has the right to the top because it is ahead of goal difference.
