Anthony Hudson shared his thoughts before the Thailand national team’s away match against China in the FIFA Day friendly at Jinhua Sports Center Stadium.
On 8 June 2026, Anthony Hudson, the English head coach, spoke at the press conference at Jinhua Sports Center Stadium ahead of the "War Elephants" Thailand national football team’s away game against China’s national football team in the FIFA Day friendly at Jinhua Sports Center Stadium.
"China previously played against Singapore (winning 2-1). This game will be very important for us. It is a good and crucial time for team preparation. We already trained to get ready yesterday, and of course today's training will be another important session."
"The most important thing is to ensure our players are at their best for tomorrow’s match, both physically fresh and fully prepared, so we compete with the best possible squad. What we want today is quality training to make sure the team is fully ready for the competition. I believe all players and staff are prepared for this game."
"We want to perform strongly on the field and bring joy to all fans, whether those attending the stadium or watching from home, including future matches. We want to make them proud every time we play. Our duty and responsibility is to make our fans proud of their national team."
"I have been following China’s matches closely. Many young players are very promising, but at the same time, several core players have grown and developed together. I see this as a very strong team with a playing style that is not easy to handle. It will be a tough and challenging match. We respect our opponents greatly, but we have come here with a good mindset, well prepared over the past few days, and everyone is eagerly anticipating this match."
