Of course, I am disappointed because I was not able to take part in this world championship, but mostly I write that we grew up after the world championship in Qatar - I am the captain of this entire team and.

This team is truly amazing. I believe that they will come up no matter how difficult and show us matches that we have never seen before.

After this campaign I will leave the national team. So from now on I am rooting for the Japanese team as one of their fans.

The day will come when Japan wins the World Cup. Let's believe in them and root for them at the same time. And let's unite the strength of Japan so that this moment comes at this tournament. Let's play together at the world championship in America. Everyone, give it your all! "
