Japan representative Gaku Shibasaki to everyone who supported us “I was able to feel the supporters closer than ever before”

The Japan national team advanced to the knockout stage for the third time after two tournaments at the 2018 FIFA World Cup Russia. Japan lost to Belgium in the round of 16 on July 3 and did not advance to the top 8 for the first time in Japan. We asked Gaku Shibasaki (Getafe CF/Spain), who returned to the base camp the next day, about his current state of mind after the tournament and a message to everyone who supported him.
