Japanese international Ta Nakamoto: The Chinese team may be more advanced in pressing, and the midfield rhythm needs to be stabilized

After the training ended on the 10th local time, Japanese international Ta Nakamoto accepted an interview with the official website of the Japanese Football Association.

After recovering from injury, I only played for 45 minutes in the club (Hiroshima Miarrow), so I didn't expect to be called up this time. Even so, I am very grateful and happy to be recruited. I will give all the strength I can give right now, not using my state as an excuse, and strive to contribute to the team.

The midfield of the Japanese national team is paired by Endo and Hidemasa Momota, and my current level is far from their level. I hope to continue to accumulate competition experience and get closer to them little by little. Even if I don’t know how many years it will take, I will work hard down to the ground and strive to surpass them one day.

Regarding the next game against the Chinese team, the midfielder needs to solidly complete the second landing point and recover. Moreover, compared with the Hong Kong team in China, the opponent's pressing may come further, so it is very important to stabilize the midfield rhythm while getting rid of the pressing. I think if the opponent can retreat to defense, we can take the initiative in the game, and the role of the midfielder will become particularly important at that time.
