To all our dear Brazilian friends,❤️
Thank you so much for all your warm messages… I really wanted to reply to each one personally, but please let me say it here instead 🙏
After the match, things got a little heated with talk about Japan’s defeat, and some unkind words have ended up hurting people.
Let’s stop that now, okay? Let’s all take a deep breath and return to gentle, peaceful hearts.
Brazil’s squad was so deep and strong… and your basic skills , those beautiful passes, perfect traps, and powerful shots were truly wonderful.
If Suzuki hadn’t made those amazing super saves, I don’t even want to imagine how many goals might have gone in… 😭
In the second half, Vinicius and the left side were completely overwhelming with their crosses.
That goal in additional time wasn’t luck at all , it showed the real difference in strength.
Brazil was truly magnificent.
Honestly… I don’t know how many years it will take for Japan to catch up, or if we ever can. But in football, the possibility of winning is never zero, right?
As long as we don’t give up, I truly believe the day will come when Japan can beat you.
More than any victory, friendship is so much more precious 💕
Before the match, there was a lot of harsh trash-talking on X, and it made me a little sad seeing friendship get cracked.
But I can say this from the bottom of my heart, The majority of Japanese people truly respect you. We love you.
I promise this on the name of Zico, the god who helped raise Japanese football.
Thank you for giving us such a wonderful and thrilling match.
We’ll be cheering with all our hearts for you to win that sixth ⭐️✨
With lots of love from Japan 💖🇯🇵
