Coach Ott spoke frankly after the Thai women's volleyball team defeated Indonesia.
"Coach Ott" criticized the Thai women's volleyball team, saying if they play only like they did against Indonesia, it will be difficult to face other teams.
Following the Thai women's national volleyball team’s 3-1 set victory over Indonesia, with scores 25-21, 32-34, 25-21, 25-19, in the CV Cup 2026 (SEA V Cup 2026) first leg held in Hanoi, Vietnam.
After the match, "Coach Ott" Kiattipong Radchatagriengkai, head coach of the Thai women's volleyball team, said, "Thanks to everyone for working hard and giving their all. There were both good and bad moments, but at least we secured the victory today. We must also commend Indonesia as they have improved greatly, developed a lot, and their consistency has increased, causing us many problems."
"Regarding our game plan, some parts succeeded while others did not. We tried rotating players to give them experience and to confront real challenges, because actual competition differs from practice. We must solve these issues together."
"The players pressured themselves, especially in the second set where we allowed Indonesia to score too many points and made many errors. The end of that set was a good battle, but unfortunately, we couldn’t finish the points during the deuces. Also, some players who were subbed in still struggled to score. When the stats come out, we will discuss what needs improvement."
"Next, we must prepare and plan well because the Philippines are not much different from Indonesia. We need to focus and avoid too many mistakes. Our ability to finish points must improve because if we continue playing like this, it will be very difficult against other teams."
The next match for the Thai national team will be against the Philippines on Saturday, 1 Aug 2026, at 16:00 GMT+7.
