Supachok received bad news but still received favor at Japanese club

(Dan Tri) - Supachok Sarachat was relegated with Consadole Sapporo. However, he was favored when he received his favorite number 7 shirt.

After the 2024 AFF Cup ended, Supachok Sarachat had a short break before joining Consadole Sapporo. After 8 consecutive seasons playing in the top flight of Japan, Consadole Sapporo was relegated after finishing second to last in the standings last season.

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

Therefore, Consadole Sapporo 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 two-year stint at Consadole Sapporo, Supachok played 59 matches and scored 13 goals. Like Chanathip before him, Supachok is an extremely important player 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 some extra time off after just going through the 2024 AFF Cup.

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