Head coach Nash Racela is wary about potential complacency against the Thais.
“As a team I think we have the tendency of relaxing on defense. We can’t do that against Thailand,” he said during the post-game interview. “They’re well-prepared for this tournament.”
After the eliminations, the battle for third place and the championship matches will take place on Saturday, May 28. – Rappler.com
