“Right now I feel the pressure of being the most expensive player. Fans will expect more from me. But I’ll give it everything to produce performances to justify my salary,” said the player, who will reportedly be paid a hefty Bt700,000 per month.
Tanaboon also suggested his eyebrow-raising transfer fee was down to his devotion to the game over his whole career. “I stay disciplined on and off the pitch. I’ve not had many chances to hang out like others my age as I give priority to looking after myself. We don’t have a long career in football. I’m now in a good moment so I’ve opted to sacrifice entertainments for my career.”
