The Japanese national team lost 0-1 to the Costa Rica national team in the second match of the group stage of the World Cup (World Cup) Qatar tournament held on November 27, 2022.
A video posted on the official YouTube of the Japan Football Association (JFA) revealed that Director Hajime Moriyasu shouted at the players at halftime after the match ended in a draw.
“The other party is desperately trying to get to the ball!”
What has become a hot topic is the behind-the-scenes video of the match against Costa Rica released by the JFA on the 29th. In the halftime locker room scene where the match remained 0-0, Manager Moriyasu was shown giving instructions to the players.
At first, Director Moriyasu was giving specific advice to individual players, but when he started talking to the whole team, his tone changed completely.
“The other party is desperately trying to get to the ball!” While clapping his hands loudly, he called out to the players in a loud voice, saying, “I’m going to put my feet out!” At the end, it was recorded that he himself encouraged the players by saying “Let’s go!”.
JFA’s official YouTube also released a behind-the-scenes video of the first match against Germany on November 23rd. Despite conceding a goal in the first half against Germany, as far as I can see from the video, coach Moriyasu calmly encouraged his players during halftime, saying, “Stop conceding goals and wait for your chance.
From the Internet in this video,
“I never thought I would be so upset in the locker room.”
“Mr. Moriyasu was really hot and I’m glad.”
Such reactions were gathered.
