What did coach Keisuke Honda say before the men's football event of SEA Games 32 started?

Coach Keisuke Honda hardly attended press conferences during his time leading the Cambodian national team as well as the Cambodian U.22 team preparing for the 32nd SEA Games. He often left this job to Coach Ryu Hirose in his capacity as head coach.

Coach Keisuke Honda actively trains with the Cambodian U.22 players.

However, in each tournament, Coach Keisuke Honda always has his own views and is expressed on his personal Twitter account. "The first match is always difficult in any tournament. Tomorrow (April 29), the balance between caution and courage will be the most important thing. But anyway, this will be a challenging match," Coach Keisuke Honda tweeted on his Twitter account with 1.7 million followers.

The host team U.22 Cambodia participated in the 32nd SEA Games with the goal of winning the first medal in the history of football in the Southeast Asian region. Coach Keisuke Honda has been directly selecting the U.22 Cambodian players for nearly 2 years, with many strict criteria, systematic training and laying the foundation for improving both physical strength and technique and tactics.

Before the 32nd SEA Games, Coach Keisuke Honda and the Cambodian U.22 team had a long training trip in Thailand, and were assessed to have improved in many aspects. In recent days, the 36-year-old Japanese coach has been counting down the days before the Cambodian U.22 team's first match at the 32nd SEA Games.

The host U.22 Cambodia players are ready for the matches at SEA Games 32.

At the 32nd SEA Games at home, U.22 Cambodia is in Group A with U.22 Indonesia, U.22 Myanmar, U.22 Philippines and U.22 Timor Leste. The young team from the land of the pagodas will have their opening match against U.22 Timor Leste at 7:00 p.m. on April 29 at the Olympic Stadium in the capital Phnom Penh. Before that is the opening match between U.22 Indonesia and U.22 Philippines at 4:00 p.m.

The opponent U.22 Timor Leste once made coach Keisuke Honda and the U.22 Cambodia team suffer a bitter defeat (score 0-1) more than a year ago at the U.22 Southeast Asian tournament held in Cambodia in early 2022. The defeat caused U.22 Cambodia to be eliminated in the group stage of the tournament it organized at the newly inaugurated Morodok Techo Stadium. The U.22 Timor Leste team also had a training trip in Thailand to prepare for the 32nd SEA Games and is currently led by Korean coach Park Soon-tae.

The rematch tomorrow, April 29, between U.22 Cambodia and U.22 Timor Leste in the opening match of Group A of the 32nd SEA Games men's football promises to be exciting. This will be the match for coach Keisuke Honda and his students to avenge the painful defeat in the past.
