Bolatimes.com – The 2023 U-23 AFF Cup will roll out soon and Thailand will be appointed as the host. Even though he will be the host, the coach named Issara Sritaro is even pessimistic about becoming a champion.
Issara Sritaro just led Thailand to win a silver medal at the 2023 SEA Games. The young War Elephant team fell to the Indonesian national team in the final round.
So, after this failure, Thailand now has to prepare the team again for the 2023 AFF U-23 Cup. However, the 43-year-old coach is less optimistic.

So what is Sritaro’s reason for being pessimistic? Does the defeat to the U-22 Indonesian national team in the 2023 SEA Games affect Thailand for the upcoming 2023 AFF U-23 Cup?
Issara Sritaro then revealed that Thailand would not have its best players. This made the War Elephant team pessimistic.
“Maybe I can’t ask for the quality of the main players in the U-23 AFF Cup. The club will definitely not release their players to the national team,” said Issara Sritaro as quoted from The Thao247Saturday (27/5/2023).

“For some players, we are forced to discuss with the club about who can be recruited. But personally, I don’t think the players who are targeted for the Asian Cup will be promoted.”
“Most likely we can only get players from grade three or maybe we have to use group five players in the U-23 AFF Cup. Without the generation of key players, Thailand’s chances of winning are reduced,” he added.
This means that the regeneration of Thai players is having problems. This can be used by the U-23 Indonesian national team to win the 2023 AFF U-23 Cup.
