Japan kicked off its official training session at the Al-Hersal Training Center in Doha, Qatar at 11 a.m. on Tuesday (local time). The training session lasted about 15 minutes. Before the training session, Moriyasu Hajime came to the training center with his coaches and had conversations there for a while.
When the players started to appear, a Japanese national team official said, “Mitoma will not be able to attend the interview.” When asked about the interview, he said he would not attend the training and stay at the hotel. He did not say if he would stay at the hotel due to his injury. Japanese reporters lamented at the news that he would not be able to appear. 토토사이트 추천
Mitoma is a key Japanese player and is currently playing as an ace for Brighton. Mitoma, who continued to play in the upcoming season, got hurt ahead of the Asian Cup. He was surprised to see his name on the list when there was a possibility that he would not be able to play at the Asian Cup. According to the British newspaper The Athletic, Brighton coach Roberto De Gerby said, “I was really surprised (by the news) because the medical staff said Mitoma needed four to six weeks due to his injury. It is difficult to think that Mitoma will be able to play at the Asian Cup.”
He is said to have recovered and participated in the training, but Mitoma did not include him. In Mitoma’s absence, Japan struggled to win against Vietnam and suffered a shock defeat by Iraq, falling victim to an unexpected incident. A Japanese reporter said, “The mood of the Japanese national team is not very good right now.” Japan is exercising in a serious atmosphere ahead of coach Shin Tae-yong’s important match against Indonesia.
All the existing players including Takefusa Kubo, Takumi Minamino, Takehiro Tomiyasu, Takuma Asano, Keito Nakamura, and Wataru Endo all came out. In addition to the 25 players, promising players who looked forward to the future also participated in the training. Suzuki Zaion and other goalkeepers trained separately. Kubo, Minamino, and Nakamura trained together, and lifted their bodies while robbing each other of the balls. After a brief run training, the training that was disclosed to the media has ended.
