Sorry to bear Saudi Arabia, veteran Changyou Yudu: lack of strength, I feel a heavy responsibility

For the match against Saudi Arabia that has just ended, Japanese defender Nagatomo Yu has expressed regret.

In the early morning of October 8, Japan lost 0-1 to Saudi Arabia in the final qualifiers for the World Cup in Qatar. Although suppressed from the beginning of the game, the Japanese team still created some opportunities, but they did not translate into goals. In the 71st minute of the match, Shibasaki's return pass error was seized by the opponent and scored the winning goal.

Yu Nagatomo, who started the game and played until the second half of stoppage time, said after the match: "We lost, which means we are not strong enough, we have a responsibility for it. After that, he also revealed his regrets.

"We all faced the game with a strong mindset and today we defended well, but we made a lot of mistakes in the attack and there were many times when we were in control of the situation under the influence of the hot weather. I think we made a bit of a mistake. “

He also stressed that if you want to make a comeback now, the most important thing is to face up to reality.

"There's the next game against Australia, so we have to recover well, first of all, we have to adjust our mentality. It's just that everyone has to re-examine the problems that have arisen on the field today, although the defense is doing well, but in terms of the connection between the teams when we take the ball, how should we deal with the other forward when we take the ball, we also need to work more closely with the team. “

Japan has another match against Australia on the next October 12th, and if this one can no longer score points, it will be extremely detrimental for Japan to qualify for the World Cup in Qatar. But Nagatomo was full of energy: "I just want to win." “
