Theerathon Bunmathan explains the motive for closely following Quang Hai

TPO - In an interview after the match, Theerathon Bunmathan shared the reason why he marked Quang Hai so closely, often causing great impact, leaving the opposing midfielder with little space to roam.

Nguyen Quang Hai and Theerathon Bunmathan were the hot spots in the midfield area in the first leg of the final on the evening of May 14. Both created tense situations, even not hesitating to play rough with each other. That is why these two midfielders both received a yellow card in the match after fierce tackles.

Quang Hai is the type of player who finds it difficult to maximize his strength if he is constantly pressed. But despite being pressured by Bunmathan, he still left his mark with the situation that opened up CAHN's first goal. The 28-year-old player passed the ball down the right wing to Alan, who then crossed it in like a set piece. Inside, Leo Artur easily tapped the ball into the net to score.

Although that goal did not bring victory to the home team, in the tense match, Quang Hai still showed his worth. After the match, Bunmathan highly appreciated Quang Hai by commenting: "In the training sessions before the match, we always paid attention to Quang Hai. The head coach told me to pay attention to him."

That is the explanation why the former captain of the Thai national team followed Quang Hai like a shadow during the match. And he also completed part of the task, helping Buriram gain an advantage in the first leg of the final.

The 35-year-old continued to share about the home team's 2-2 result: "They played better in the first half but the second half was ours. Today, the two teams played fast, leading to many collisions but those were necessary collisions. After this match, we will do our best to win the cup at home."
