Going undefeated for 13 matches is already an incredible achievement
Countless unforgettable moments.
This tournament may not have ended the way we hoped, but we’ll never stop believing in Ryujin Nippon. Come back even stronger. 🇯🇵🫶🏻

iinterview with Yuki Ishikawa after the USA match:
-The way that you wanted to end the match, what was missing tonight?
Yuki: It was a great match, I think. First of all, congrats to the US team, but yeah, we could have done a great job, but we didn't get good results, but we have tomorrow's match.
We will get good results tomorrow.
-IIn that match tomorrow, you have a chance for a bronze. What do you want to do against Slovenia?
Yuki: Yes, I think First, we have to change the minds. We have to prepare for tomorrow's match, and yeah, we will play better, yeah.
-I know there's still a lot of fans watching around the world. Do you want to send a message to everyone watching?
Yuki: Thank you for your support.
It's a shame that we lost, but we will win tomorrow and go home with the bronze medal.
Every time I watch another team play, I’m like, “how on earth is japan supposed to survive against them?”
But then I remember what Brizard said: THEY NEVER GIVE UP UNTIL THE END. THEY WERE JAPAN 🇯🇵
