Comments from Head Coach and Player

NUENGRUTAI Spathongvian, Head Coach
I am very satisfied that we have done a training camp in Japan for the Asian Cup and played three matches against very good Japanese clubs. In those matches against clubs which are much faster and skilled than us, we discovered many things we must improve. It was a very good experience for us aiming to play in the World Cup.
Five teams from Asia can play in the World Cup. I think Thailand has a good chance of making it. Taking advantage of this experience, we want to achieve that goal.

Last year I played for FC Osaka Takatsuki in the Nadeshiko League. So I am very happy to be back to Japan. In such a great atmosphere in Japan, we all could practice and also experience the culture. Playing against Japanese clubs was very inspiring for us, too.
