There seems to be a lot of talk about the fact that Hidemasa Morita, who has returned from injury and is also playing in games for Sporting, has not been selected. Coach Moriyasu referred to the names of Tomiyasu and Ito, and when asked about Morita not being selected, asked, “Why do you think that?” As for whether he was not selected, he prefaced this by saying, “Every match, I and the coaching staff check on him. We know that he’s a great team and he’s playing well,” and added, “He led us to the World Cup, but we have to see that there’s also competition.” Still, he said of Morita, “In terms of his tactical understanding, rather than testing him, I think he has the ability to enter the national team as a force at any time, but I also look at the balance of the overall competition.” He emphasized “competition” while mentioning the names of players who play in Europe’s five major leagues, including MF Daichi Kamata, MF Kaishu Sano, MF Joru Chima Fujita, and MF Ao Tanaka. Nagatomo, who was substituted with an injury in the 6th round of the Meiji Yasuda J1 Centennial Concept League game against Mito Holyhock on the 14th of this month, was diagnosed with a right hamstring strain. https://news.yahoo.co.jp/articles/94bc18d3c8c75555508122744703f111d3fac536 https://news.yahoo.co.jp/articles/e8186044042a2e6bb0ae3e67fcaccc88126460a2 VOICEVOX: Ryusei Aoyama Personally, I was extremely saddened by Minamino’s injury, so I’m looking forward to the performances of players who are currently gaining momentum in Europe, such as Shiogai and Goto, to help us forget this sadness. The Japanese national team has been said to be the strongest in history, but the number of injuries has increased rapidly. Things aren’t going so well in this world.
