PATHUM THANI (Thailand), January 11 National head coach Kim Pan Gon has apologized to all Malaysians for not leading Harimau Malaya to the final of the Asean Football Federation Cup (AFF ) 2022 after losing 0-3 to defending champions Thailand last night.
The South Korean coach apologized for not being able to cheer on the domestic football fans and asked all parties not to blame his players for the semi-final second leg defeat at Thammasat Stadium.
He said if there was any issue that led to the defeat of the national team, it should be addressed to him as a fully responsible individual.
I have no complaints and no regrets, what my players did tonight, they ran like dogs, they followed my instructions, they fought until the end.
All issues related to issues are on my side (because) all tactics, lineup and strategy that was mine, not the player….every decision is my decision, you can blame me and you can blame me. attack (but) not the players, he said at a post-match press conference here this evening.
Tonight’s win saw Thailand advance to the final 3-1 on aggregate and will face two-time champions Vietnam in Hanoi on Friday before playing at home next Monday.
Meanwhile, Thailand head coach Alexandre Polking summed up the two semi-final matches the War Elephants went through to reach the final as incredible.
Two fantastic semi-finals but I think the match in Malaysia was the best for us than today. Overall, these two games are better than the group stage.
We scored the goals we needed, but it was a tough game, especially in the first half. But they couldn’t create any chances because we defended well. We knew we couldn’t let them score a goal here, the 46-year-old said.
Tonight’s win ended Thailand’s winless record against Malaysia after six matches since 2018.
Thailand are the most successful team in the AFF Cup campaign since the inaugural event in 1996 having been champions six times after appearing in nine previous editions of the final. Bernama
