War Elephants Train in Sisaket for King's Cup

Thailand national team striker Supachok Sarachat believes Sisaket fans will give the War Elephants a warm welcome in the King's Cup, hoping to set an example for the younger generation. On November 11 at BG Training Center, the Thailand senior team, led by English coach Anthony Hudson, continued training to prepare for the 52nd King's Cup, scheduled for November 14-17 in Sisaket province.

Supachok Sarachat, a striker for the national team from Japanese J2 League club Consadole Sapporo, said: 'Personally, I'm delighted that our Thailand senior team has the opportunity to play in Sisaket province. As everyone knows, Sisaket is my birthplace. When our national team plays there, the people there are quite football-crazy. I'm happy on behalf of Sisaket locals who will get to meet the national team players.'

'Right now my physical condition is 100% ready to play in this King's Cup with no injury problems. Recently, my club Consadole Sapporo has been performing well, and I've had the chance to play in consecutive wins. My confidence is at a good level, and I'm ready to bring that to help our national team secure victories.'

'I've played football for a long time, and we know that every year there are constant changes. In my career, nothing is certain. We have to adapt to each situation we face. Sooner or later, every footballer encounters this. We know when we can't play, but the most important thing is to prepare as best as possible for every situation. When opportunity comes back around, we must seize it.'

'Last season, the changes at Sapporo were clear. Personally, I viewed last season as an experiment for the team because there was no promotion or relegation. Each team could try out players or tactics they wanted to use.'

'But this season has promotion and relegation, so the intensity is different. As you can see, every game each team focuses intensely, making it even more difficult.'

'This King's Cup is in my hometown, so my parents can watch without having to travel to Bangkok. I want to inspire the youth of Sisaket who are watching. As I said, Sisaket is already a football-crazy city. Many kids in Sisaket province dream of becoming footballers like me. The national team's visit this time will likely boost morale and serve as an example for kids in Sisaket. They'll get to see national team players, see how they train, why they've reached this point. It will certainly be a great inspiration for the younger generation.'
