Everton: Bangkok United can take big steps in Asia

Bangkok: The AFC Champions League™ 2023/24 marks the first time Thailand’s Bangkok United are in the group stage of the tournament since their last outing in 2007 and the club, captained by Brazilian centre-back Everton Goncalves, have made a blistering return to Asia by winning both their Group F outings so far. 

The Thai League 1 runners-up stunned Korea Republic’s Jeonbuk Hyundai Motors 3-2 at Thammasat Stadium earlier this month to add to the 2-1 comeback victory against Singapore’s Lion City Sailors in their opener where Everton bagged the club’s first goal of the tournament.
 
That moment was a redemption of sorts for Everton who suffered heartbreak with Bangkok in the tournament in 2019 and the defender tells the-AFC.com about that goal, the side’s impressive starts in the AFC Champions League and Thai League 1, life at the club and more.
