Live broadcast on August 27th. Before the first round of the Asian 18-strong World Cup qualifiers in September, Japan coach Moriyasu Ichi was interviewed by Japanese media sponichi. He reviewed his coaching experience and reiterated his goal of winning the World Cup.

"When I coached the Japanese national team, my dream and goal was to win the World Cup, and I would like to participate in the World Cup again with that in mind."

"At the Asian Cup, our opponents studied us and created difficulties for us. A system alone is not enough to stop our opponents or exploit their weaknesses, so how should we change? How can we play to our strengths? We will think about how to maximize our strength as a team and how to combine our individual and collective abilities to work together."

"I think there are two main types of coaches: coaching and management. I started out as a head coach at Sanfrecce Hiroshima and the Japanese national team. I stood on the field as much as possible, and then passed on ideas on and off the field. As I've been in the team for longer and longer, I think I'm now changing my management style."

"Except for the World Cup and the Asian Cup, the World Cup qualifiers and other competitions all require two games in a short period of about 10 days. If the coach reports everything under such circumstances, such work will be superficial and thin. So I think it is better to divide the work and cooperate, so that the tactics can be deeply penetrated and the players can give full play to their abilities."
