In the FIFA World Cup 2022, Japan earned a historic 2-1 come-from-behind victory over powerhouse Spain, and qualified for the knockout stages. This is a comment from Wataru Endo of the Japan national team after the match. Q: How do you feel now? Endo: I’m really happy. As a team, I think it’s a victory that all of us got together as a team. Q: How are your legs? Endo: I was also told by the doctor that I wouldn’t be able to play in this match for the next day or so, but I’ve recovered quite a bit, and although I thought it would be a little tough to be in the starting line-up, my condition is good. I got better than I expected, so I’m glad I was able to contribute to the team. Q: How did your teammates feel when you first saw them from the bench? Endo: Everyone was very consistent in terms of tactics from the first half, and I already believed in Morita and Tanaka, who came on as substitutes. . Q: What kind of injury was your knee? Endo: It’s very difficult to explain. I’d like to ask the doctor for a second. Q: How was the atmosphere on the bench after conceding a goal early in the game? Endo: It felt like the 0-1 was no longer a problem, just like the match against Germany. Q: The atmosphere of the team after the game Endo: It was great, everyone was very happy, and I think it was really good that we were able to break through this group, but on the other hand, it is still in the top 16, so the next team. There are still games left, so it feels like everyone is gradually switching to that. Q: What do you have to keep in mind as an individual when preparing for the next match? I would like to analyze and think about what we need to do to improve ourselves, and prepare for the rest of the period until the next match.
