Thai cave rescue boys meet hero Zlatan during Ellen Interview
Twelve football players and their coach appear on TV as they continue to be
feted around the world.
By Helen Ellis-Peterson

The Thai youth football team who spent 17 dark days trapped in a cave have made
their first group appearance on international television. (4)

Appearing on Ellen Degeneres’ talk show, the 12 members of the Wild Boars team
and their coach Ekkapol Ake Chantawong were spirited, cheerful and seemed
unfazed by the global celebrity they have attracted since their dramatic rescue in July.
The boys – most of whom come from poor families in northern Thailand – have been
thrust into the limelight over the past three months. (9)

The frenzy around them has subsided somewhat in Thailand but the adulation
continues to roll in as they tour the world. They have been in Argentina for the youth
Olympic summer games in Buenos Aires, and on Tuesday they were presented with
the Asian game-changer award by the Thai prime minister, Prayut Chan-o-cha,
recognising the ‘glory’ they had brought on the Thai people and their country. (14)

The team and their coach looked most overwhelmed when their football hero Zlatan
Ibrahimovic, who now plays for LA Galaxy, made a surprise appearance on the show
to meet them. The Swedish player high-fived each member of the team. ‘These kids,
this team is more braver than me and they showed their collective teamwork and
had patience, faith,’ Ibrahimovic said. ‘This is probably the best team in the
world.’ (20)
