The ASEAN United FC website had a special interview with Jonathan Khemdee, a defender for the Thai national team from Ratchaburi FC. The Thai-Danish defender said that he was very excited to have the opportunity to play in this tournament, where Thais are highly expecting to win the championship. He was personally very happy to have his name on the list.
“I enjoy being under pressure. If you want to be a great player, you have to play under pressure,” said Jonathan, recalling his first senior international game away to Vietnam at My Dinh Stadium, where Thailand won 2-1. He said there was a lot of pressure every time he wore the Thai jersey. The first game against Vietnam was difficult because of the weather and the inability to practice, but the coach helped him understand tactics.
Jonathan talked about being selected to win the King’s Cup in Songkhla, saying that he thought Masatada Ishii, the head coach, liked what he did and therefore included his name in the สมัครสมาชิก UFABET วันนี้ รับเครดิตฟรีทุกวัน team. He was very happy because it was his first King’s Cup and Thailand won the championship. When he got to play with great players like Chanathip Songkrasin, Suphanat Mueanta, Nicholas Mickelson and Elias Dolah, it would be easy because these players could help, including the large number of fans, making it easy for him to adjust.
As for this group of players who are missing some key players, Jonathan said that this is an important opportunity for everyone to show their abilities to the coach. Even though it is not like the A team, we cannot use it as an excuse because it is still a good team. Personally, I do not see any reason why we will not win the championship.
Jonathan said with confidence in his style that he wants to compete with the best teams. He is the type of player who likes to play in big games because he can prove himself. In this group, he wants to play with Malaysia because they are a good team, as well as Cambodia because he heard that there are 6 naturalized players. But the group stage is not easy. Thailand is ready to do its best and thinks that it will definitely be fun.
Jonathan added that his personal goal is to be the best defender in the tournament, to always be the best, to not like to lose, to give 100 percent every time, no matter who he plays against, whether it is Timor, Cambodia or Malaysia.
