Kaoru Mitoma has been left out of Japan's World Cup squad following the hamstring injury he suffered playing for Brighton against Wolves last weekend 💔
@25CR792 Desde que se fue De Zerbi la irregularidad del equipo le está pasando factura en sus actuaciones individuales… ojalá se dé la situación de que salga a un buen entorno después del mundial
Japan manager Hajime Moriyasu reflects on his short-term study abroad at Manchester United:
🗣️ “36 years ago, when I went there, people looked at me like, ‘Can a Japanese person even play football?’
Now, Japan are World Cup regulars and have the strength to compete in the knockout stages.
When Japanese people set a goal, they will get there. I truly believe that.”
