Pre-Match Interview

Ahead of the season’s crucial match where Muangthong United hosts Nakhon Ratchasima Mazda FC, head coach Jose Alves 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 the Swatcats 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 at the **MTUTD Training Center**, and the players are seeing that we are on the right track. I want to thank the players for their open minds and commitment.”
