Pre-Match Interview

Ahead of the season’s crucial match where Muangthong United hosts Nakhon Ratchasima Mazda FC, head coach Alexandre Jorge Borges is fully aware of the game’s significance, noting that the players and staff share a unified goal.

“Everyone in the team understands our objective,” said Borges. “We know how important this match against Nakhon Ratchasima is. Naturally, there is pressure, which is normal for professional footballers. However, our mindset must be strategic. We cannot simply charge forward without a system. While winning is the goal, we must control our emotions and maintain steady focus throughout.”

Borges also revealed that training intensity has increased following two consecutive home wins. “The staff and players understand we need to level up. We’ve adjusted our training to be more intense, and the players are improving and seeing that we are on the right track. They are working hard because they see the benefits. I want to thank everyone, especially the players, for their open minds and commitment.”
