"Rakphol Sainetngam" emphasizes key points before Thailand faces Australia in the ASEAN Futsal Championship 2026 semifinals.
On 9 Apr 2026 GMT+7, "Coach Mee" Rakphol Sainetngam stressed important matters before the "Chang Suek" Thailand men's futsal team faces the Australian men's futsal team, the "Kangaroo Squad," in the ASEAN Futsal Championship 2026 semifinals tomorrow.
Recently, "Coach Mee" Rakphol Sainetngam said, "We need to assess whether injured players can play tomorrow. We're working hard on their recovery. Australia is a strong and physically robust team. We must not underestimate them and use our speed as much as possible. Most importantly, we have to play carefully to achieve our goal of reaching the final."
"The absence of Thapanthorn Hemniam definitely affects the team since he is a key infiltrator in each lineup. But we must adjust according to the situation. In a tournament like this, we have prepared contingency plans. The video assistant referee (VAR) can support some decisions because referees can make errors that impact both teams. However, I hope the game does not require VAR and that refereeing is correct from the start."
Meanwhile, Minthada Piromyoo said, "My physical condition is about 80-90 percent ready, and I'm prepared for tomorrow's game. Scoring a goal felt like unlocking myself. It was my first goal for the national team, and it made my parents proud. I spoke with them on the phone."
The "Chang Suek" Thailand men's futsal team will face the Australian men's futsal team, the "Kangaroo Squad," in the ASEAN Futsal Championship 2026 semifinals on 10 April 2026 GMT+7 at the Nonthaburi Provincial Gymnasium, with kickoff at 20:00 Thailand time.
