On the 6th, the Japanese national team, who will be participating in the World Cup in North and Central America, which starts on the 11th, trained at the practice facility of Tigres, a team from Mexico’s first division. After the general practice, coach Shunsuke Nakamura opened a “direct free kick school”. The five nominated players, Takefusa Kubo, Junya Ito, Daichi Kamata, Yusei Sugawara, and Ao Tanaka, performed kicks in front of Coach Nakamura. The last time a direct free kick was scored in a World Cup was in the 2010 World Cup in South Africa, in Round 3 against Denmark, when Keisuke Honda and Yasuhito Endo played together. For Moriyasu Japan, Genki Haraguchi in 2018 and 2019, and Yuki Soma in 2022, recorded the score, but the second administration after the 2022 World Cup in Qatar did not score even once.
