Phût phāsǎ Thai Pro football spirit / sàpìrìt fûtbōn āchîp What is it that makes the English Premiership win loyalty and enthusiasm from its hometown and Thai fans alike?
Following up on the English Premier League's fifth games on Sunday, September 2, one of the big teams, Chelsea, saw its first defeat to Aston Villa by a score of 2-0. The match was a great upset to the club's supporters, as well as to the manager. To me, I was very happy for Aston Villa as I always root for the underdog. What's more interesting is the positive thinking behind the strong spirit to fell a giant with bravery. This may explain why English football has won the hearts of Thai fans for a long time. This week's conversation recaps the third game of the derby match on Sunday, September 2. |
