The Japanese coach highlights the affection received in Monterrey

Hajime Moriyasu, technical director of the Japan team, was emotional after the 4-0 victory over Tunisia in the thousandth game in the history of the World Cup. Beyond the result, the coach dedicated words of gratitude to the Mexican public that filled the stadium in Monterrey.

“From the moment of the anthem and during the game we felt the support of our fans and the Mexicans. They were dressed in green, but we realized that they supported Japan. As long as we don’t have to face Mexico, we will continue to appreciate the support,” he declared.

Confidence for the next duel

With his sights set on Sweden, Moriyasu appreciated the special context of the meeting. The party was attended by Princess Hisako of Takamado, a member of the Japanese imperial family. “We must stay focused and go out for the win in our third game; today we were able to score a lot of goals and that gives us confidence. It has been memorable,” he added.
