Akira Nishino to disclose Thailand's strategy to face Vietnam?

Thailand has suffered from being under Vietnam both achievements and matches. Thereby, FAT is doing everything for the next confrontation in the second qualification of FIFA World Cup 2022.

One of those is to spend $970,000 per year to have Akira Nishino contract- who once led Japan team to knockout stage of World Cup 2019. FAT goal is to qualify for the second round, which means they need to defeat Vietnam in the opening match.

Akira Nishino is expected with his talent and experience to help Thailand win its great rival. Recently, the Siam Sport stated that Thailand new head coach will apply his old strategist for Japan team on ‘Changsuek’.

“Mr. Akira Nishino has been rumored recently that he would use 3-4-2-1 or 3-4-3 formation in the upcoming World Cup. However, 4-2-3-1 formation made the Japanese coach well-known. This form helped the “Blue Samurai” to win 4 points and qualify for the World Cup 2018 qualifiers.

“According to some cources, Mr. Nishino is likely to apply that strategy to Thailand national team. He also expects to see Thailand’s offensive line more creative and active with Chanathip Songkrasin’s appearance. The only concern for the 64-year-old is ball deploying skills of Thai defender.”
