Jakrapan Panpi shared his thoughts after the Thai national team overwhelmed Brunei 9-0 in the first match of the ASEAN U-19 Championship Group B group stage.
On 2 June 2026, "Coach Bo" Jakrapan Panpi spoke after the 'War Elephants,' Thailand’s national team, defeated Brunei 9-0 in the ASEAN U-19 Boys' Championship 2026 Group B group stage opener held in Medan, North Sumatra Province, Indonesia, recently concluded.
Coach Bo Jakrapan Panpi said, "We must praise the players who worked well together to secure the three points as planned. As for the large scoreline, it is a bonus reward for the players and all the staff who have worked hard."
"Although we scored many goals, there are still mistakes to fix, especially in creating more varied attacking plays and in finishing chances more sharply, without wasting too many opportunities. The first half was challenging due to rain, but the players adapted well and helped each other."
"In the next game against Singapore, our goal remains the same: to get three points. After this, the players will need to recover, and we will check the fitness and injury status of those who played to select the best squad for the next match. I want to thank all the fans who have supported the players. I believe the team feels this support and it motivates them."
Coach Bo Jakrapan Panpi is scheduled to lead the Thai U-19 'War Elephants' in their next ASEAN Championship Group B match on 5 June 2026 against Singapore at Teladan Stadium, Indonesia, with kickoff at 20:00 Thailand time.
