At 12:22 p.m. local time on June 2 (1:22 p.m. Beijing time), the Thai football team took off from Sunahumi International Airport in Bangkok, Thailand, on a Thai Airways chartered flight, and flew to Shenyang, China, preparing to participate in the "life and death battle" of the World Preliminary Round of 36 with the Chinese team on the evening of June 6. Unlike the Chinese team, which is currently keeping a low profile, the Thai team, from head coach Ishii Masataka to core player Songkrasin, have all expressed their confidence in the team's three points away from home in Shenyang. However, it is understood that after arriving in China, the training of the Thai team will not be open to the media, and they are really so confident in winning away from home?

The Thai team regrouped in Bangkok on May 29, three days after the Thai Super League ended on May 26. Although some of the players who were called up were injured in the final league game, the vast majority of them were "fringe figures" of the Thai team. As the offensive core of the Thai team, Songkrasin, after being examined by a medical institution, confirmed that he only suffered a slight injury, and then he also reported to the Thai team as scheduled and came to China with the team.

In order to support the Thai team to play the last two rounds of the round of 36 in June, the Thai Football Association, under the strong leadership of the new president Ms. Wu Lun Pan, rented a charter plane for the team's trip to China. According to the agreement, all members of the team should meet at Bangkok's Suhnawamhumi International Airport on the morning of June 2 local time, and then take a charter flight at noon local time to fly directly to Shenyang.

It is understood that Thai Airways Flight 320, carrying the Thai team, took off at 12:22 noon local time on June 2 and is expected to arrive in Shenyang at about 6:30 p.m. Beijing time after flying for more than 5 hours.

At present, the Thai team has released a "high profile" for this expedition. Their Japanese head coach Masata Ishii said in an interview with the media: "Although the team is not absolutely complete, the players have performed very well in the last few days of preparation. We are very confident that we will play well in this away game. ”

Ishii also expressed his gratitude to the Thai Football Association, especially Ms. Wu Lun Pan, for their all-round support to the Thai team. He said: "With the support of the Thai Football Association and Ms. Woo Lun Pan, our base camp has good field conditions and physical rehabilitation facilities. When the team arrives in China, we will focus on the physical condition of the players. We have watched the Chinese team play (footage). They have changed managers, so we have to make in-depth analyses of their technical and tactical changes. ”

Ishii also answered questions from media reporters about the situation in Songkrasin. "As we expected, he is now available for every training session," he said. I don't think there is any obstacle for him to play against China. ”

Before the Thai team set off, they were greeted by fans at the airport and warmly welcomed by the local media. Songkrasin's tone was also shouted high. He said: "We have a strong confidence in the team to win away from home. On June 6th, we will definitely win. ”

It is understood that after the Thai team arrived in Shenyang on the evening of June 2, Beijing time, it will be stationed at the five-star Grand Hyatt Hotel. The team's training sessions for the next few days will be held at the Shenyang Urban Construction Academy. The Beijing Youth Daily learned that before the Thai team set off, it had made it clear to the competition area that except for the official venue adaptation training the day before the game, the training of the Thai team was most likely not open to the media. Of course, the object of their wariness is actually the media from China.

It is reported that a total of 27 players from the Thai team came to China to compete. Twenty-six of them arrived in China with a large contingent on 2 June. The striker Supacu, who plays for Consadole Club Sapporo in Japan, will travel directly from Japan to Shenyang on June 3 to join the team because of his participation in the club team this weekend. Wu Lunpan, who is currently in the UK, will also arrive in Shenyang before the start of the China-Thailand match to cheer for the Thai team.
