Japan coach Hajime Moriyasu delivered one of the most powerful, emotional and thought-provoking press conferences of the World Cup 2026 after Japan’s elimination, with words that have resonated far beyond the football pitch. In a remarkable show of sportsmanship, Moriyasu publicly defended South Korea’s former coach Hong Myung-bo against fierce criticism back home, insisting that results alone cannot define a coach’s worth and calling for recognition of the effort and dedication Hong gave to his country.
