Prior to this, the Japanese Football Association established the “2050 Plan,” stating that the goal of the Japanese national team is to win the 2050 World Cup. However, in a recent interview with the Yomiuri Shimbun, Moriyasu, the head coach of the Japanese national team, expressed that the Japanese team can achieve this goal ahead of schedule.
Moriyasu said, “The Football Association has set the goal of winning the World Cup in 2050, but the (previous) World Cup made me believe that Japan has the ability to win the World Cup. In this situation, I don’t think we need to wait until 2050. We should make it our goal for the next World Cup, and that’s what I think, so I’m really happy when the players say this.
Of course, I understand that this goal is not easy. However, we have been fighting, and I believe the team has a chance (to achieve this goal). The team’s current top priority is to win the championship, and with this as the focus, we will strive to develop the team step by step.”
