[Shock]Maya Yoshida makes a surprise return to the Japanese national team for the first time in four years! It was announced that former captain Maya Yoshida will be called up as a surprise player for the match against Iceland on the 31st of this month. The Japan national team is currently coached by former captain Makoto Hasebe. With Yoshida joining the team, this can also be seen as a sign that the association is doing its best to support the team ahead of the World Cup. Coach Moriyasu has said that his aim is to “respect his past achievements and pass on the baton to the World Cup,” but fans have expressed various opinions about his invitation to play at this timing, right before the tournament.
