Hajime Moriyasu, coach of the Japan national football team, responded to an interview from Europe, where he was staying in Europe to observe the players, and talked about Kaoru Mitoma, who scored goals in three consecutive official matches at Brighton in the English Premier League, "My strengths and challenges. We are organizing the parts of the company and leading to growth."
Director Moriyasu has been visiting Europe since the end of last month to observe Japanese players and exchange opinions, and responded to an online interview with the press on the 8th.
Among them, Mitoma, who scored a goal in three consecutive official matches for Brighton in the English Premier League, said, “Our ability to score goals and the quality of creating scoring chances have improved. I am contributing to the growth of the company.
Also, when I exchanged opinions with players such as Maya Yoshida, who served as the captain at the World Cup Qatar tournament, looking back on the tournament, most of the players said that increasing the options for the way they play is an issue for the future.
Coach Moriyasu said, “We need to improve our level so that we can play in various ways according to the situation and the time of the match.”
In preparation for next month's warm-up match, which will be the first after the Qatar Games, he said, "The members of the World Cup may be the base, but I would like to form a team by looking at a wider range of players. It is necessary to be able to make quick decisions and demonstrate skills inside, and I would like to take a closer look at the base part."
