Thai defender confident of victory against Hanoi Police Football Club

"In tomorrow's match, we (Buriram United Club) will play away so it will be a bit difficult but I am confident in the team's preparation towards victory and ultimately the championship," Theerathon Bunmathan shared at the press conference.

Theerathon Bunmathan is a familiar name to Southeast Asian football fans. Famous for his time at Buriram United and Muangthong United, Theerathon Bunmathan has a huge collection of titles in Thailand and Southeast Asia, including three AFF Cup championships in 2016, 2020 and 2022, a gold medal at the 2013 SEA Games, eight Thai League 1 championships and six Thai FA Cups.

In the 2022 AFF Cup final between Thailand and Vietnam, Theerathon Bunmathan shone with two assists and an important goal to help the "War Elephants" once again win the Southeast Asian throne.

However, recently, Theerathon Bunmathan has not been on the list of players called up to the Thai national team. He is not part of the "War Elephants" squad for the AFF Cup 2024. In the latest list of players to prepare for the FIFA Days series in June, Bunmathan continues to be absent.

A special point is that Coach Mano Polking of CAHN Club used to lead the Thai national team. In tomorrow's match (May 14), Theerathon Bunmathan and many other Thai players will have the opportunity to reunite with their old coach. "I feel happy to meet Coach Polking again. We have good memories together. In addition, I will also reunite with many Vietnamese national team players who are currently playing for CAHN. Therefore, I think tomorrow's match will be a very attractive competition," said the Thai defender.

Buriram United have just won the Thai League 1 for the fourth consecutive time, and this is the 11th time in the last 17 tournaments. In addition, this team also plays the Thai FA Cup final against Muangthong United on May 24, before the Thai League Cup semi-final against Nongbua Pitchaya on May 18.

The first leg of the Shopee Cup 2024/2025 final will take place at Hang Day Stadium at 7:30 p.m. tomorrow, May 14. The second leg will take place on May 21 at Buriram Stadium.
