Thai coach gives advice, Vietnamese women's futsal researches ways to defeat Japan

(Dan Tri) - The coach of the Thai women's futsal team revealed the method that the Thai team defeated Japan, which the Vietnamese women's futsal team can study and apply.

The Vietnamese women's futsal team will face Japan at 10am this morning (May 13) at the Asian tournament in China. Japan is a very strong team, the current Asian runner-up. The Vietnamese women's futsal team will certainly face many difficulties against this opponent.

However, we can study how Thailand beat Japan 3-1 in the group stage, to apply to the upcoming quarter-final match against the team from the land of the rising sun.

Coach Thanatorn Santanaprasit of the Thai women's futsal team said: "First, to beat Japan, we have to play with more enthusiasm than usual. The players' attitude must also be more aggressive when the opponent has the ball."

"There is no way the players will lack concentration when facing a strong team like Japan. We once made a mistake when we lacked concentration against Indonesia and almost paid the price (a 0-0 draw)," coach Thanatorn Santanaprasit added.

In theory, the level of the Thai women's futsal team and the Vietnamese women's futsal team are almost equal, while the Japanese women's futsal team is slightly better than these two teams. Therefore, if Thailand can surprise Japan, the Vietnamese women's futsal team can do the same.

Coach Thanatorn Santanaprasit of the Thai women's team shared: "In addition, to defeat Japan, it is necessary to stimulate the desire of the players. The whole team must be synchronized in both attack and defense, and the positions on the field must support each other very well."

The reason why the positions on the field must support each other very well and cover each other well is because Japanese players are both fast and technical. They have a good sense of organization and discipline, so everything on the field must be very reasonable.

The Vietnamese women's futsal team needs to pay attention to all of these points before facing the team from the land of the rising sun, thereby continuing to nurture their hopes of reaching the World Cup finals.
