Keep an eye on Thai players who are active in the J League

Hello, this is Macchan.

The cold winter (especially this year) is over, and we are starting to feel the cheerfulness of spring more and more.

The arrival of spring also means the arrival of sports season. I personally love watching soccer, so he looks forward to the opening of the J League every year. In the J.League, which recently started, three Thai star players are playing in the J1 League, the top league for this season in 2018.

The success of Thai players is attracting attention not only in their home country of Thailand but also in Japan. Although it is only the beginning of a long season, with just the second round, Thai players are already showing impressive performances.

Teela Singh scores the winning goal in the opening game

Teerasingh Daendar is an ace striker who is called ``Thailand's Treasure'' and carries the ace number 10 on the Thai national team.

He has been playing for Sanfrecce Hiroshima, which has called Hiroshima his home since this year. Sanfrecce Hiroshima's opening game is a home match against Consadole Sapporo.

Consadole Sapporo has player Chanathip Songrasingh, who is also known as the ``Thai Messi,'' and this match attracted attention not only among Thai soccer fans but also among Japanese soccer fans as it was a match between two Thai star players. Ta. Both players will be starting players in this notable game.

In the 28th minute of the first half, Teelasin headed Kashiwa's cross ball to take the lead. By defending this one point, Sanfrecce Hiroshima won the opening match. Teelasin exploding with joy after scoring the first goal : ``Kashiwa has been throwing the ball in that way since practice.I'm glad I was able to score in my debut game,'' he said, satisfied with the victory achieved with his own goal. The same player with a sad expression. It seems that he has received a solid response that will allow him to play an active role in the J League.

This performance received top treatment in Thai sports media.

Various sports media in Thailand have also been extensively reporting on the success of this athlete.

A video featuring Thai players has also been released on the J League official website.

Teelasin is a player that even his former colleague Aoyama, who plays in the J.League, calls "the perfect player." We can expect him to score double-digit points this season, which is proof of an excellent scorer.

Chanathip scored his first goal in the J League

In the opening match, they lost due to a goal from Teela Singh, but Chanathip, who plays for Consadole Sapporo, scored his first J League goal in the second match against Cerezo Osaka.

He scored a goal with a header to give his team momentum from a difficult 2-0 lead.

This was my happy first goal in the J League since last season. After this, the team held on to a 3-3 draw against the powerful Cerezo Osaka, who had won two titles last season, gaining a valuable point on enemy territory.

Regarding his thoughts on scoring the goal, he commented, ``I feel nothing but happiness.'' Chanathip, who showed a rare and emotional fist pump at the moment of scoring the goal, must have been extremely happy to have finally scored a goal in a foreign land.

Chanathip's goal came around 60 seconds into the game.

Joined the opening members. Teeraton, who also served as a free kicker

Another Thai player is Teerathong Boonmathan, who plays for Vissel Kobe.

He has an accurate kick that has earned him the nickname "the devil's left foot," and he plays an active role as a full-back on the Thai national team. He is also the captain. Teelaton also joined the team from the opening game, and although he was not in the starting lineup, he came on as a substitute midway through the second half and was assigned the role of kicker for free kicks and corner kicks, and his left-footed system has already been praised within the team. It seems there is.

By the way, I honestly think that he is an amazing kicker since there are left-handed players on the team who boast highly accurate kicks, such as Podolski, a former member of the German national team, and Junya Tanaka, a former member of the Japanese national team.

Although the team has not won the opening two games, Teeraton's left foot is sure to be one of Kobe's weapons.

summary

Initially, the addition of Thai star players was seen as part of a marketing strategy to develop the Asian market, but instead, the players themselves have begun to prove through their own abilities that they have value as a "force". . There is no doubt that soccer players from Thailand and other Southeast Asian countries will continue to enliven the J.League. I hope that the Thai players I introduced today will play an active role as a foundation for this.
