In the match against Vietnam, the members were changed significantly from the previous match, but Tulio Tanaka lamented the unlucky play of the players who got the chance to start while showing understanding to Hajime Moriyasu (53).

Regarding GK Kawashima, looking back on the goalkeeper scene in the first half, “Kawashima should have come out there. Kawashima was lacking in terms of organization. There may have been some places where the opponent was not good, but that is not good. I think that way. ”
On the other hand, regarding the play of midfielder Haraguchi, he said, “I think it’s not that position. No matter how you think about it, there isn’t enough quality to play there.” ..
Among the starting members of the match against Vietnam, Tulio Tanaka highly appreciated the play of midfielder Takefusa Kubo (20) and midfielder Kaoru Mitoma (24). “There are things that Mitoma and Kubo’s efforts in the first half are very similar. Not everyone was bad. I think I could see Kubo’s gimmicks and the aggressiveness of going forward.”
Also, in the second half, he pointed out that the members changed and the cooperation in the middle stage improved, and he regretted that “that’s why I wanted to win.”
Then, toward the World Cup production, he said, “It’s a different world from now on. It’s a stage of a completely different dimension from now on. It’s only known to those who have experienced it.” I think I can try to follow it. I want to ask for it. ”
