Supachok received bad news but still received favor at Japanese club

(Dan Tri) - Supachok Sarachat was relegated with Consadole Sapporo. However, he was given the favored number 7 shirt.

After the AFF Cup 2024 ended, Supachok Sarachat had a short break before joining Consadole Sapporo Club. After 8 consecutive seasons playing in the top division of Japan, Consadole Sapporo was relegated when they finished second to last in the rankings last season.

Consadole Sapporo's goal is to win promotion next season. Supachok is one of the team's key players.

Therefore, Consadole Sapporo Club decided to give Supachok the number 7 shirt. This is the midfielder's favorite shirt number. Since joining the Japanese club in 2022, the midfielder born in 1998 has changed his shirt number 3 times. Previously, this player wore the numbers 49 and 19.

During his more than 2 years playing for Consadole Sapporo, Supachok played 59 matches and scored 13 goals. Just like Chanathip before, Supachok is an extremely important factor for the Japanese club.

The entire Consadole Sapporo team has been training since January 8 with new coach Daiki Iwamasa, who was recently appointed to replace Mihailo Petrovic. However, Supachok has been given a little more time to rest after just going through the AFF Cup 2024.

The 26-year-old midfielder caused a huge controversy in the recent tournament when he scored an unfair goal against the Vietnamese team in the second leg of the AFF Cup 2024 final.

Before that, goalkeeper Dinh Trieu had proactively thrown the ball out of the field when a Vietnamese player was injured. But instead of returning the ball to the Vietnamese team, Thailand organized an attack, leading to Supachok's goal.

On social networks, many Vietnamese and Southeast Asian fans have criticized and mocked Supachok. That has had a significant impact on the Thai midfielder’s mentality.
