Raising a problem with Moriyasu Japan…What is the real intention of Hidemasa Morita in his “must read” interview?

Number 1091 issue on sale now (https://number.bunshun.jp/articles/-/860571) “Captain theory in adversity: Laws of the Japan national soccer team leader”. The most popular article is Hidemasa Morita’s exclusive interview, “Japan’s national team has no axis” (https://number.bunshun.jp/premier/articles/17321). After losing in the Asian Cup, Morita caused a stir when he raised the issue, saying, “I want them to come up with more ideas, such as things like things being done from the outside, or things like being thorough as a team.” He revealed the true meaning of that statement in an interview with writer Shinya Kizaki. “In everything I do, I have the desire to “make Japanese soccer even better.” I believe that I can make the Japanese national team even stronger, so I took this opportunity to speak out.” How will Morita’s words change the team? We will analyze this interview with Nobuaki Matsumoto from the editorial department who has covered soccer for many years. The recording session started slowly, but gradually turned into a more substantial discussion. See omnystudio.com/listener (https://omnystudio.com/listener) for privacy information.
