Venías haciendo una Copa del Mundo bárbara y por un error impropio tuyo lamentablemente vino el gol de Brasil, así de duro y cruel es el fútbol.
No queda otra que levantarse y seguir, Ao querido. Mucho ánimo 💔
Hajime Moriyasu after Japan crashed out of the 2026 FIFA World Cup following their heartbreaking defeat to Brazil:
🗣️ “This is one of the most painful nights of my career. We were only moments away from making history, but football can be unbelievably cruel. I have nothing but pride for every single player who wore this shirt tonight.”
“To the supporters of Japan, I'm deeply sorry we couldn't give you the ending you deserved. We heard you, we felt your passion, and we fought until the very last second. Seeing your tears hurts just as much as this defeat.”
“I refuse to blame these players. They gave everything—their energy, their courage, their hearts. They stood toe-to-toe with one of the greatest football nations in history and made the entire world believe that Japan could achieve the impossible.”
“In the dressing room there are tears, silence and broken hearts. That's because these players cared. They dreamed of taking Japan further than ever before, and watching that dream disappear in the final moments is something that will stay with them forever.”
“I told the players to keep their heads high. Tonight may feel like the end, but this team has shown the world that Japan belongs among football's elite. Defeat does not erase what they achieved throughout this tournament.”
“To every Japanese fan around the world, thank you for believing in us. We leave this World Cup with heartbreak, but also with pride. We may be going home tonight, but I promise you this team will return stronger, hungrier and more determined than ever.”
Acababan de perder con un gol de último minuto ante Brasil. La tristeza era total. Y algunos jugadores todavía estaban llorando. A pesar de eso, tras el silbatazo final en su eliminación de la Copa del Mundo, todos los jugadores de la Selección de Japón se acercaron a su afición para agradecerles por el apoyo que les brindaron durante el torneo.
Son grandes en la victoria, pero son todavía más grandes en la derrota. Si vas a caer, que sea con el honor, la entrega y la clase de la Selección de Japón.
IMPOSIBLE NO QUERERLOS.
