It seems that the weaknesses of Japanese soccer are already apparent even at the high school level.
During this tour of Germany, I heard something interesting from a local female interpreter.
She is the coach of a high school soccer team that is considered to be an all-Japan class.
Apparently he accompanied them during a training camp held under their supervision for over a week.
At that time, I remember very well what the German coach said.
"I think Japanese high school students have world-class passing skills considering their age.
They are much better than kids of the same age in Germany.
However, when they got close to the goal, everyone passed the ball around and no one could score.
They don't try to score... No matter how much I say "attack the goal more!"
There are no signs of improvement.”
This is something we always feel when watching international matches of the full national team.
The soccer coaches of the World Cup-winning countries feel almost the same frustration.

As I wrote before, "valuing harmony" is a Japanese virtue,
At the same time, this also seems to be a major drawback.
"We will do what we need to do within our individual responsibilities."
I think Keisuke Honda often says something similar to this.
However, these things are accumulated from childhood and cannot be achieved overnight.
It is not something that can be achieved. Unless we change the way we teach our children from an early childhood perspective, Japanese soccer will not be able to flourish.
I feel like it's going to be difficult to compete at a world class level.
