[2026 World Cup | Legend Commentary]Kaoru Mitoma is rejected from the World Cup squad! “Hey, Japan! No Mitoma? No Minamino? What’s wrong with that!” Simeone reveals his true feelings about Moriyasu Japan’s new lineup!

On May 15, 2026, the members of the Japanese national team will be announced. Diego Simeone roars at Japan, which is shaken by “despair” due to the failure of Kaoru Mitoma and Takumi Minamino! “What happened to that!” What is the optimal solution for the “New Samurai Japan” drawn up by the famous generals? The fateful member announcement caused silence throughout Japan. Is the absence of Kaoru Mitoma and Takumi Minamino, who suffered injuries, a “fatal loss” for the Samurai who will be competing in the North American World Cup, or is it the beginning of a “new destiny”? In this video, three legends with the world’s highest intelligence thoroughly dissect director Hajime Moriyasu’s 26-man list. Diego Simeone: Shout out to the pessimistic fans! He talks about the true horror of Japan’s transformation into a “troublesome existence.” Thierry Henry: The birth of the “new No. 9” called Keito Nakamura. Evolution from side magic to central blade. Carlo Ancelotti: The secret of his management skills by deliberately choosing 39-year-old Yuto Nagatomo and Endo and Tomiyasu, both of whom had injuries all over their bodies. Even without a wizard, we still have a strong bond and a samurai spirit. On the fateful May 15th, a new story for Japan begins. #Japan National Team #2026 World Cup #Kaoru Mitoma #Keito Nakamura #Coach Moriyasu #Japan Soccer National Team #Legend Commentary #Simeone Audio: VOICEVOX
