PHUKET
CITY: After a much needed six-week mid-season break, the new-look
Phuket Sea Dragons football club return to action at Surakul Stadium on
Sunday, July 5.
The home side has added 15 new players to its
squad since its last fixture and coach Somsak Waijarean is determined
to make amends for their dismal start to the season. Only two players
remain from the original squad, the goalkeeper and the captain.
“I
joined the team after their first league match in Division Two. The old
coach quit following the 4-1 defeat at home to Satun. We played three
more games at home and we lost all of them. We’re in seventh position
and only have four points. During the break I have brought in 15 new
players, because the old team wasn’t very good,” Mr Somsak said.
In
the upcoming fixture, the Sea Dragons will face Narathiwat who recorded
a 2-0 win over Somsak’s men in their last outing before the season
break.
Coach Somsak believes that Phuket FC fans will see an improved performance and better results on Sunday.
“We
have a great chance to win because we have changed the majority of the
team and we’ve been training very hard. We also had a coach come down
from Bangkok to help train the players and improve their fitness
levels,” he said.
Phuket FC are currently second from bottom in their division and have failed to register a single point at home.
Despite their disappointing position, Mr Somsak believes his side still has a lot to play for.
“We
still have seven matches left, three here in Phuket and four away from
home. At the very least we must pick up nine points from our home
games,” he said.
The Phuket vs Narathiwat game will take place at Surakul Stadium on July 5, with kick off at 7pm.
In the first half the price of admission was 50 baht for adults, with children allowed in free.
Fans are also allowed to bring their own refreshments into the stadium, much of which is protected from the elements by a roof.
