Supachok gets into trouble with Japanese club after dirty goal, saves image in unexpected way

After the ugly goal against Vietnam in the second leg of the AFF Cup 2024 final, Supachok still cannot escape the whirlwind of public opinion. The old story has not passed, but the new one has come, making him almost collapse.

Many fans have not given up on Supachok, not only attacking him on his personal page but also leaving many comments on the homepage of Consadole Sapporo - his home club. This is definitely a worrying thing for the male player after the AFF Cup 2024, especially when the 9x player returns to Japan to compete in the near future.

Meanwhile, Vietnamese fans want Consadole Sapporo to educate striker Supachok about the meaning of the king sport. They believe that the 26-year-old striker went against the spirit of sportsmanship when he scored a "dirty" goal against the Vietnamese team. The comments have continued to appear over the past few days.

Meanwhile, Supachok received bad news when Consadole Sapporo was relegated after finishing second to last last season. The team's top goal is to win promotion next season and will face Tochigi on January 18. The midfielder born in 1998 is one of their 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 male player has changed his shirt number 3 times. Previously, he wore the numbers 49 and 19.

In more than 2 years playing for the club, Supachok played 59 matches and scored 13 goals. In the last two seasons, this guy has become a mainstay of the Japanese team, just like Chanathip before.

In the second leg final against Vietnam at the AFF Cup 2024, Supachok scored the goal to make it 2-1 in the 64th minute and created a fierce controversy, because he did not return the ball to the away team even though goalkeeper Dinh Trieu proactively threw the ball out of bounds, when he saw midfielder Hoang Duc was in pain.

Because of his mistake at the AFF Cup 2024, the midfielder born in 1998 has had to endure unprecedented criticism. The male player spoke up to explain that he never had bad intentions, but the majority of fans refused to forgive him.

Then, when the online voting on the ASEAN United FC website ended, Supachok won the title of "Best goal of the second leg of the ASEAN Cup 2024 final" with 85.41% of the total 46,482 votes. The majority of the votes came from Vietnam.

The goal that brought about the storm also brought the title to Supachok. What an irony! Before that, Vietnamese fans had come out to call for votes for the male player as a "punishment". He was suddenly "forced" to receive the award for the best goal in an unexpected way.

Thairath newspaper commented that Supachok's situation is really heartbreaking for Thai fans. Because Vietnamese fans have voted for the midfielder born in 1998. Many calls on football forums say that at all costs, he must win the award, in order to leave his name in history at the AFF Cup 2024.

Winning the award for the best goal in the second leg of the 2024 ASEAN Cup final is not an honor for Supachok, but a lesson in the spirit of fair play in football. A Vietnamese fan commented: "I voted for Supachok. I hope everyone will vote for Supachok so that this ugly goal will be mentioned for many years to come."

After the scandal, Supachok is trying to improve his image by interacting with students from many schools in Thailand. "Standing here, I remember the days when I was a child studying at this center. I am part of this community and it is the community that helped me become the person I am today.

So I want to set an example for them. I wish them success. I hope they will grow up to be people with good qualities, and together develop the community," said the 26-year-old striker.
