[World Cup]Maya Yoshida and Takumi Minamino “polishing their juniors’ spikes”…The “difference in attitude” between Japan and South Korea becomes a hot topic[Reactions from Japan’s national soccer team overseas]#Japan National Soccer National Team

Maya Yoshida and Takumi Minamino, who were not included in the Japan national team for the 2026 World Cup, have become a hot topic after it was reported that they were polishing the dirty cleats of their teammates and collecting uniforms in the locker room after the match against the Netherlands. Akira Itakura testified, “This would never have happened. He took the initiative and worked for the team.” Yoshida was the trigger, followed by Minamino, who said, “I have no choice but to do it,” and Yuto Nagatomo, who was also surprised and said, “It’s not normal.” On the other hand, Korean media criticized their country, saying that their country’s legends “just complain on YouTube and TV.” Ahn Jung-hwan also wrote in his column, “Honestly, when I look at Japan, I feel jealous.” Devotion rather than showiness: This may be where the difference in attitude between Japan and South Korea comes into play. *This video is an explanatory content that reconstructs news and online reactions. *Fan voices are a reconstruction of online reactions. *Includes AI-generated audio and editing.
