The Thai coach jumped to the table to celebrate the draw with Vietnam

After the match 1-1 on GBK Madya, Jakarta to win the semi-semis, Thailand players are glad to come into the dressing room, they keep knocking on the couch, dancing, dancing, dancing and singing. Coach V Valero would be happy to stand on the table and stir the air, let the students dance around.

At an earlier press conference, Valero said Thailand was unable to control the situation in the first half, which was reflected in the failure to create good opportunities. They switched to a 4-4-2 formation in the second half and opened the scoring with the help of midfielder Crockfen Albram. "My players showed determination and strength against a strong team like Vietnam," Valero said.

Just four minutes after surpassing, Thailand to Khuat Van Khang equalized for Vietnam. Since then, the two teams have been holding moderately because the result is just enough to help them lead each other to continue. "Of course Thailand wants to win," the Spanish coach said. "But at the end of the match, many Vietnamese players were tired of pouring their best. I had to praise the determination of Thai players this match."

This is the first time Valero hadn't lost Vietnam. At U23 East Asia 2/2022, you and your students both lost Vietnam-1 at the final round and finals. When that's the crucial part of Thailand is U19.

Thailand will miss midfielder Thanawat Saiphet in the semi-finals after he received two yellow cards in the group stage. But Valero is not worried about the issue and says Laos and Malaysia will be studied carefully. "We will come up with a plan to play against our opponents in the semi-finals," he said. "Passing the group stage is the motivation for Thailand to play better."
