Thailand Plays Casually Against the Indonesian National Team in the Second Leg of the 2020 AFF Cup Final: Okezone Bola

SINGAPORE – The Thai national team (National Team) will play more relaxed against Indonesian National team on the second leg of the final AFF Cup 2020. This was conveyed by the coach of the War Elephant squad, Alexandre Polking.

In the first meeting, the Indonesian national team was beaten by Thailand 4-0 at the National Stadium, Singapore, on (29/12/2021). Chanathip Songkrasin (2′ and 52′) scored, Supachok Sarachat’s strike (67′) and Bodin Phala’s (83′) contribution.

However, in the second match, there will be something more different than Chanathip Songkrasi and his friends. They will play more freely because they are not burdened to catch up with the score.

Although more free, the architect of Brazilian-German descent will not change his playing style. They will play as they showed in the first leg.

The reason is, Polking admits that he doesn’t want to underestimate Shin Tae-yong’s Garuda squad. The Red and White Troops could give a surprise because the 2020 AFF Cup Final match is not over yet.

“I see no reason to change it. The most important thing just to make it clear again is that it’s still not over.”
