Ratchaburi FC president Thannawit "Sia Fluk" Nitikarnjana posted a message after the Dragons fell 2-3 to Japanese J-League powerhouse Vissel Kobe in the 2026-27 AFC Champions League Elite league phase. The loss leaves Ratchaburi with only one point from four matches played. After the match, president Thannawit Nitikarnjana posted an encouraging message to the team, expressing continued hope. His post read: "The trip to Japan reminded me of a story called 'The Last Stand' — a tale of a warrior surrounded by enemies who knows he faces inevitable death, yet chooses to draw his sword and slay as many foes as possible before his final breath. Each person may decide differently when facing such a situation; some may hide, flee, or run to survive, but others choose to fight and accept death in battle. Last night, at one point, my director asked me, 'Are we dreaming right now?'... Huh... Football gives us many things, but one special thing it gives us is 'hope.' For Ratchaburi FC's next schedule, they return to Thai League action for a big match against Buriram United on November 8 at 7:00 PM.
