After Japan's draw with the Netherlands, Daichi Kamada was seen outside the dressing room looking upset and frustrated.
He responded by scoring in the opening minutes against Tunisia, helping Japan become the first Asian team to score four goals in a FIFA World Cup match 🇯🇵❤️
🥲 Recordemos que Wataru Endo se ha perdido el Mundial con Japón por dejárselo todo en esta acción 🇯🇵
❤️ Vaya profesional, no todos pueden ser como Endo.
Hajime Moriyasu:
"Hoy en Monterrey muchos japoneses vinieron a apoyarnos y quiero agradecerles y no sólo a ellos, sino que también había muchos mexicanos que apoyaron a Japón; mientras no nos enfrentemos a México, espero que los japoneses sigan recibiendo apoyo histórico"
🚨 Ayase Ueda on why Japan always leaves the dressing room spotless after every match and why their fans stay behind to clean the stadium:
🗣️ “For us, it’s never something special or something we do for attention. It’s simply part of who we are and how we are raised.
From a young age in Japan, we’re taught that when you use a place, you leave it better than you found it. At school, we clean classrooms ourselves. Nobody tells us to do it — it becomes normal.
Football doesn’t change that.
When we enter a dressing room or a stadium, we treat it with respect because people worked hard to prepare it for us. Cleaning after ourselves is our way of saying thank you.
Our fans think the same way. Supporting the team is not only singing for 90 minutes. It’s also showing respect to the country hosting us, the people working there and everyone around us.
The stadium is not ours, but for those few hours it becomes our home. So we don’t believe in leaving a mess behind.
People see it and think it’s a gesture for cameras, but honestly, if nobody filmed it, we would still do the exact same thing.
Winning or losing doesn’t change our values.” 🇯🇵
