Twice they gave up the lead to the mighty Netherlands, and caught up with them both times – right after that heart-stopping battle to the death. At the press conference, where cameras were rolling around the world, what came out of Coach Moriyasu’s mouth was neither his tenacity for victory nor tears of frustration. This was to express our gratitude to our opponent, the Netherlands, with whom we had just fought with all our might. “In the past, the Dutch coaches made a big contribution to raising the level of Japanese soccer.” Immediately after a fierce battle in which Kakugo was pushed aside twice, but still managed to hold on and force a draw. In a situation where a normal coach would say, “The players played well” and “Next time we will win,” Coach Moriyasu first bowed to the opponent country. Why did this one word change the atmosphere at the press conference and shock the world? The background to this was the deep ties between Japanese soccer and the Netherlands, as well as the existence of a Dutch coach who coached Moriyasu himself during his playing days. The frustration of a fighter who declares, “I wanted to win.” However, I will never forget my respect and gratitude for history. The dignity of Japan’s supporters also caught the world’s attention off the pitch. We will take a closer look at the full story of how the players, coaches, and supporters all came together in just one game to represent the Japanese spirit. ▼ Table of Contents (Timestamp) *Please adjust the seconds to match the actual audio 00:00 Immediately after the deadly battle, Coach Moriyasu uttered an “unusual word” 01:30 It was something a normal manager would never say 03:00 That 90-minute deadly battle in which he led twice and caught up twice 05:20 The real thoughts of the matchmaker who was “aiming for 3 points” 07:00 Why did he say “thank you to the other country” 08:40 The unknown deep connection between Japanese soccer and the Netherlands 10:20 A certain lesson coach Moriyasu received during his playing days 11:40 Players don’t give up, coaches don’t forget their gratitude/Summary For those of you who think “This is typical of Japan,” and those who think “It’s amazing that we can say this much in the world of competitive games,” please let us know your thoughts in the comments section.
