"Leesaw" Theerathep Winothai, former Thai national team striker, clearly sees "Jonathan" as his younger self and declines fans' requests for tips on controlling his temper.
On 25 Mar 2026 GMT+7, a viewer sent a message during the live broadcast asking "Leesaw" Theerathep Winothai, former Thai national team striker, to advise on how to manage Jonathan Khemdee's emotions after he showed signs of losing his temper and clashed with opponents several times. Leesaw was commentating during the match between Thailand U23 and China U23 in the CFA Team China International Youth Tournament, broadcast live on Thairath TV Channel 32 and Thairath Sport.
Jonathan recently had a heated verbal confrontation during a match where his club drew 2-2 with BG Pathum United.
"Leesaw" commented that Jonathan still has room to develop and that he sees himself in this player. He said, "When I look at Jonathan, I see myself as a young man—aggressive and quick-tempered. But ultimately, what he does is for his team, and that’s right."
"Sometimes, being young means losing your temper over this or that. I can’t tell him not to do that because I used to do the same."
