Interview

เราได้เห็นพี่ตี๋ในชุดทีมชาติไทยมาอย่างยาวนาน ครั้งแรกเลยในเส้นทางทีมชาติเริ่มต้นตั้งแต่เมื่อไหร่ เริ่มต้นอันดับแรกเลย ก็ติดทีมชาติไทยรุ่นอายุไม่เกิน 17 ปี ได้ไปแข่งฟุตบอลโลก U-17 เมือ่ ปี 1999 ที่ ประเทศนิวซีแลนด์ ตอนนัน้ ผมเป็นมือสองของทีม ซึง่ นัน่ คือก้าวแรกของผมกับทีมชาติไทย หลังจากได้รบั โอกาสนัน้ ก็มคี วามฝันว่าอยากจะติดทีมขาติชดุ ใหญ่ สักครัง้ เราก็ฝนั อยูล่ กึ ๆ นะ ไม่คดิ ว่ามันจะเป็นจริงได้ หรอกตอนนัน้

มันเปรียบดั่งการท�ำความฝันของเราให้เป็นจริงใช่ ไหมครับ ใช่เลยครับ ทุกครั้งที่ผมเล่นในนามทีมชาติ และทุก ครั้งที่ได้ร้องเพลงชาติ ผมยังคิดถึงตัวเองตอนเด็ก เสมอเลยว่า เด็กต่างจังหวัดคนนึงที่ฝันอยากจะติด ทีมชาติและยืนร้องเพลงชาติแบบนี้ วันนี้เราท�ำได้ ส�ำเร็จแล้วนะ มันตื้นตันอยู่เสมอทุกครั้งทีได้สวมชุด ทีมชาติไทยครับ จากการผ่านประสบการณ์ทีมชาติมาหลายสิบปี โดย เฉพาะเกมฟุตบอลโลก รอบคัดเลือก ที่พี่ตี๋ได้มีโอกาส เล่นหลายครั้ง คิดไหมครับว่าจะมีวันนี้ วันที่ทีมเราจะ ได้เข้าไปเล่นรอบ 12 ทีมสุดท้ายได้ ผมมีความเชื่ออยู่เสมอว่า เราจะมีโอกาสสักครั้งหนึ่ง ที่ได้เข้ารอบคัดเลือก 10 หรือ 12 ทีมสุดท้าย อย่างที่ เคยท�ำได้มาแล้วเมื่อตอนคัดบอลโลก ปี 2002 และ ครั้งนี้เราก็มีโอกาสที่ดีที่จะท�ำได้ส�ำเร็จ แต่อย่างไร ก็ตามหากจะถามว่าเราจะท�ำได้ดีไหม ผมว่ามัน ต้องใช้เวลาครับ ฟุตบอลโลกมันไม่ใช่จับฉลากแล้ว ได้เข้า ทุกอย่างต้องพร้อม ต้องสร้างตั้งแต่รากฐาน โดยเฉพาะระบบเยาวชนเลยครับ

ตอนนั้นมองภาพถึงทีมชาติชุดใหญ่ไว้บ้างหรือยังครับ จะบอกว่าทีมชาติกับการเล่นฟุตบอลในสมัยเด็ก ๆ มักเป็นของคู่กันก็ว่าได้ และผมก็เป็นหนึ่งในเด็กที่ฝัน ถึงการติดทีมชาติไทย เพราะว่าเรามีไอดอลเป็น พี่วัชรพงษ์ สมจิตร, พี่ชัยยง ขําเปี่ยม อยู่แล้ว ทุกครั้ง ที่มีโอกาสได้ดุฟุตบอลทีมชาติไทยแข่งก็คือในทีวี แล้วก่อนแข่งทุกครั้งก็จะมีการเข้าแถวร้องเพลงชาติ ผมเห็นตลอดภาพตัวเองตลอดเลยว่า อยากจะไปยืน เข้าแถวตรงนั้น และร้องเพลงชาติไทย ครั้งแรกที่รู้ว่าถูกเรียกตัวติดทีมชาติชุดใหญ่ ตอนนั้น รู้สึกอย่างไรบ้างครับ ตอนนั้นอยู่ในคาบเกี่ยวระหว่างซีเกมส์กับปรีโอลิมปิก ซึ่งผมก็ถูกเรียกขึ้นไปซ้อมกับถูกทีมชาติชุดใหญ่ด้วย ก็กดดันเหมือนกันนะครับ แต่ก็สนุกดี เพราะการได้ไป เจอเหล่าพี่ ๆ ที่เราเคยดูเกมผ่านหน้าจอทีวี แค่นี้ก็ ปลื้มแล้ว

เสน่ห์ของต�ำแหน่งผู้รักษาประตู คืออะไร ผมว่ามันคือ การทีจ่ ะผิดพลาดไม่ได้ และความผิด พลาดจะต้องเป็นศูนย์ดว้ ย ซึ่งผู้รักษาประตูทุกคนรู้ดี นอกจากนี้สิ่งที่ส�ำคัญคือ บุคลิกของผู้เล่นต�ำแหน่งนี้ ต้องดูดีน่าเกรงขาม ซึ่งจะแตกต่างกันออกไปในแต่ละ คน เหมือนบางอย่างที่ไม่เราสามารถอธิบายได้แต่ สามารถรู้สึกได้ ต�ำแหน่งนี้ต้องซ้อมหนักมาก ถ้าเทียบ กับการสอบ เราก็ต้องอ่านหนังสือให้มากที่สุด เพราะ เราไม่รู้หรอกว่าข้อสอบมันจะออกมาแบบไหน ฉะนั้น ต้องเตรียมทุกอย่างไว้ให้พร้อมเสมอ

จุดเริ่มต้นของพี่ตี๋กับทีมชาติชุดใหญ่ มาจากเกมอุ่น เครื่องกับเรอัล มาดริด ใช่ไหมครับ ที่วันนั้นเหมือนได้ โชว์เซฟจนไปเตะตาโค้ช และถูกเรียกติดทีมชาติไทย ในที่สุด วันนั้นไม่รู้ว่าบังเอิญหรืออะไรนะครับ เพราะส่วนใหญ่ พี่บอย -เกียรติศักดิ์ ระวังป่า จะได้ลงเล่นตลอด แต่พอช่วงพักครึ่ง ปีเตอร์ วิธ ที่คุมทีมบอกให้ผมลง เล่น ซึ่งตอนนั้นบอกเลยว่าโคตรตื่นเต้น นอกจากจะ เสียงเชียร์จากคนดูเต็มสนามราชมังคลาฯ แล้ว ยังมี โอกาสได้เล่นกับยอดทีมระดับโลกอีก คิดแค่นี้ก็นอน ตายตาหลับแล้วครับ ซึ่งมันอาจจะเป็นก้าวแรกและ เป็นจุดที่ท�ำให้คนรู้จักชื่อของ “โกสินทร์” ในวันนั้น

สิ่งที่สำ� คัญที่สุดในการเป็นนักฟุตบอลอาชีพคืออะไร วินัยครับ ผมเคยเจอทั้งคนเก่ง มีพรสวรรค์ มีชื่อเสียง ตั้งแต่เด็ก แต่ขาดวินัยแป๊บเดียวก็จบ และก็เคยเจอ คนที่ไม่เก่งแต่ขยันและมีวินัย พวกเขาเหล่านี้ก็พัฒนา ตัวเองได้อยู่เสมอ ทุกวันนี้ก็มาได้ไกล ผมเชื่อว่าความ มีวินัยจะท�ำให้นักฟุตบอลหรืออาชีพอะไรก็ตาม อยู่ได้ นานอย่างภาคภูมิใจ
