Japan Football Association "There are positive and negative reviews, but we fully support it."
Japanese soccer, which was eliminated in the quarterfinals of the 2023 Asian Football Confederation (AFC) Qatar Asian Cup, continues under coach Hajime Moriyasu (56).
Yasuharu Sorimachi, technical committee chairman of the Japan Football Association, said in a media interview on the 8th, "There are both positive and negative aspects, but basically, we have formed a consensus to support more firmly than now and prepare for the 2026 North, Central and American World Cup," and continued to give the baton to Coach Moriyasu. He expressed his intention to leave it to us.
Japan showed unbelievable behavior as a contender for the championship, losing 1-2 to Iraq in the group stage of this Asian Cup.
They placed second in Group D and advanced to the round of 16, but were eliminated by losing 1-2 to Iran in the quarterfinals. After losing this game, Coach Moriyasu blamed himself, citing his use of a replacement card as the reason for the loss.
Chairman Sorimachi said, “There are things you cannot know unless you are at the stadium. “We may not know why the starting lineup was chosen that way, but we respect their judgment and what they do.”
At the same time, he said, “Of course, there are some things that didn’t work out, but it’s really great that he was able to reflect on himself while playing hundreds and thousands of games,” and added, “We fully support him.” “There is no doubt about it,” he said.
Coach Moriyasu led the team to advance to the round of 16 at the 2022 Qatar World Cup by defeating traditional powerhouses Germany and Spain. 19가이드03
