Japan won their first round of the World Cup qualifier against China with a 7-0 victory, and Junya Ito performed exceptionally well on the right flank, contributing one goal and two assists, earning him the title of Man of the Match. In an interview before the second round match between Japan and Bahrain, Ito talked about his positional role.
“Once I come on the pitch, what I need to do is get involved in the attack; of course, I will also share defensive responsibilities. If the coach asks me to play as a full-back, I’ll play as a full-back; if he asks me to play as a winger, I’ll play as a winger. Personally, for the benefit of the team, I can play any position, and I really don’t mind.”
