Chanaphat Buaphan, a player for the Thailand national team, revealed the strengths of the Vietnam national team and pinpointed the positions Thailand must carefully watch before facing them in the SEA Games 2025 final.
On 17 Dec 2025 GMT+7, Chanaphat Buaphan, a player for the Thailand national team known as the 'War Elephants,' disclosed the strengths of the 'Golden Star' Vietnam national team and specified the positions Thailand must be wary of ahead of their meeting in the 33rd SEA Games 2025 final tomorrow.
Recently, Chanaphat Buaphan said, "This means a lot to us since we are playing in Thailand. We will try to perform at our best because in the previous game, we might not have played very well, so we went back to fix, improve, and adjust our tactics. I will do my best to secure the win and bring home the championship."
"The current Vietnamese squad is strong in every position, especially their forwards who are quite effective in attacking and creating offensive plays. Of course, we didn’t make it to the final against Vietnam in the ASEAN Championship, which we regret. But now, meeting them in the final gives us a hundred percent chance, and it all depends on tactics and seizing opportunities during the game."
"We have nothing to fear because this is Thailand. We play for the whole nation. We won’t play hesitantly. If we don’t have confidence in ourselves, who else will? Tomorrow, we will win and keep the championship at home. As Coach Wang said, everyone feels pressure, but we turn that pressure into pride and motivation to perform well so that we can win the gold medal and the championship."
"I want everyone to come and support us a lot. We will give our all, more than 100 percent, and dedicate ourselves in every moment on the field. Whatever the game situation, we will do our best and keep the championship at home."
The Thailand men's national football team will compete in the 33rd SEA Games final against Vietnam at Rajamangala National Stadium on 18 December 2025 at 19:30 Thailand time (GMT+7).
