Supachok's career declined after his controversial goal against the Vietnam national team.

Supachok's career in Japan has been declining since after the 2024 AFF Cup.

Supachok Sarachat's controversial goal against the Vietnam national team in the 2024 ASEAN Cup final became a focal point of criticism, accused of lacking fair-play spirit. This scoring moment not only stirred regional public opinion but also created significant psychological pressure on the Thai player himself, marking the beginning of his subsequent decline in performance.

After that point, Supachok's career showed a clear downward trend. Recently, he was not used at all in Hokkaido Consadole Sapporo's 0-2 loss to Fukushima in Round 9 of the East B J.League 2, despite having just returned from national team duty.

Being omitted from the lineup is not surprising considering his recent form. Supachok has gone through a streak of 5 consecutive matches without scoring or assisting. Since the start of the season, he has only scored once in 6 appearances – a modest number compared to expectations for a key player.

Not only Supachok individually is struggling, but Sapporo club is also facing difficulties. After 9 rounds, the team has only earned 10 points, falling to 7th place in the region and facing the risk of being dragged into a relegation battle if viewed across the entire league. Performance pressure forces the coaching staff to make tough personnel decisions.

In reality, Supachok's poor performance has persisted since last season. At that time, he only scored 2 goals and made 3 assists in 31 matches – a performance not matching his expected role. The stagnation of the 27-year-old midfielder is considered one of the reasons Sapporo declined from J.League 1 and is struggling in the second division.

Currently, Supachok's future in Japan is under serious question. Despite showing positive signs when returning to the Thai national team for Asian Cup qualifiers, if he does not quickly improve his form at the club, the possibility of him seeking a new destination in the next transfer window is entirely likely.

Supachok speaks out about the 'physical altercation' with Iraqi player protecting Chanathip.

Supachok was dropped from the Thai national team before the Asian Cup qualifiers.
