Moriyasu: "I'm Very Happy"

Japan's national team head coach, Hajime Moriyasu, expressed immense satisfaction with his players' performance following their dominant 4-0 victory over Tunisia. The Asian side controlled the match from start to finish, moving a step closer to the knockout stages while simultaneously eliminating Tunisia from the competition.

"This was our second World Cup match, it was incredibly intense, and people all over the world were watching. I'm very happy that we managed to win such a game. As a team, it's always tough to see players get injured. The important thing is that we built this squad on the principle that anyone can step onto the field and win, and whoever plays can function effectively," Hajime Moriyasu stated after the encounter.

Attacking midfielder Daichi Kamada opened the scoring for the Japanese in just the fourth minute, having been shifted back into a more offensive role. This was a change from their first match against the Netherlands (a 2-2 draw), where he played as a defensive midfielder. "Daichi Kamada has recently been playing as a defensive midfielder, but given the current team situation, he needed to play behind the central striker today. The idea was to utilize his strengths and control both attack and defense from that advanced position," explained the Japanese tactician.
