Shuichi Kwonda: Playing against China is okay but not fully played The next round opponent Saudi Arabia is stronger

According to Yahoo, today's Japanese goalkeeper Shuichi Kwonda recalled the Sino-Japanese battle played last night in an interview, praised the performance of his teammates, and believed that the opponent in the next round, Saudi Arabia, is stronger than the Chinese team.

Talk about the performance of the Japanese team

Our main concern is to qualify, so everything else is secondary. In any case, yesterday we didn't concede a goal and the opposing shot failed to even hit the goal frame. I think the result of the match can be satisfactory, one of the two goals is a penalty and the other is a sports goal.

——Commenting on the performance of central defenders Shogo Taniguchi and Itakura Tsuki

They haven't played in a long time, but in the intra-team matchups, I also noticed that as a substitute side, they were fully prepared at all times. During the last two days of training before the game, including the coaches, we all thought they were doing a good job in the details when we communicated.

Looking ahead to the next round against Saudi Arabia

Against the Chinese team, we performed ok, but also how good it was. In the next round against the higher level of Saudi Arabia, we have 4 days of preparation time and we hope to do better.

——How it felt to wear the captain's armband after Endo was replaced

When I put on the captain's armband, the jersey was yellow and the captain's armband was yellow, and that was my impression at the time. When Hidemasa Morita handed me the captain's armband, I thought he should wear it, but he said that this was one of the few opportunities for me to be captain and I was proud to be captain.
