At the FIFA World Cup 2022, the Japan national team lost to Croatia after a penalty shootout, finishing the tournament in the last 16. Japan representative Schmidt Daniel answered the interview. Q: How do you feel now after the dawn? Schmidt: First of all, I have both feelings of frustration and the desire to improve further for the next World Cup. Q: Did you really feel the teamwork of the keepers throughout the tournament? I think it’s the role of a player who can’t play in the game to keep doing it, so I’m not trying to express that part, but I think a keeper should have teamwork like this. I think there are many people who saw it that way. Q: Mr. Gonda said that he asked Mr. Schmidt about the build-up part, but did he feel that during the match? If I say something here, I wonder if it will look like it from above. It’s difficult, but one thing I can say is without a doubt that Mr. Gonda brought this team to this stage, and I’d like to thank him very much. Q: At the same time, did you feel that you also wanted to participate in the game? And so, before and after the match, I had a lot of feelings of admiration, not just Gonda, but all of my teammates did a great job. Q: How did you feel when you went back to your room yesterday and were left alone? I remember that kind of thing, but it was a really good experience, and it was my first World Cup. It was a good experience, so I think that I have to make use of this next time. Q: Do you mean that you have a desire to connect to the next one? Schmidt: Yes, yes. I think I can still do my best, and Kawashima is 39 years old and has come this way, so I don’t think I can do the same, but I want to do my best.
