At the FIFA World Cup 2022, the Japan national team lost to Croatia after a penalty shootout, finishing the tournament in the last 16. Japan representative Hiroki Ito answered the interview. Q: How do you feel now after the dawn? Ito: I still feel frustrated. Q: How did you feel watching the match yesterday? Ito: The team was united with the desire to reach the quarterfinals, so unfortunately we lost in the penalty shootout, but the team was just one. I would like to make use of this experience in the next World Cup four years from now without fail. Q: What kind of things do you need to overcome the barriers of the best 16? Ito: I think it’s a small detail, so it’s the part that makes a chance and the game control part. I feel like I’ve learned a lot, so I’d like to make use of this experience and connect it to the growth of my football life. Q: Playing with the world’s top players, are there any points that you think you can pass, and are there any points that you would like to improve in the future? I don’t have much time, but I would like to prepare my condition again for the resumption. Q: What was your first World Cup stage like? Ito: It was a dream stage that I’ve been aiming for since I was little, but it was very frustrating, and I also think that I can’t finish it like this, but I’m just aiming for four years later because of what’s in front of me. I think we have to keep going, so I would like to start by getting good results with my own team. Q: Four years later? Ito: Yes.
