On November 20, the official Twitter account of the Japanese national team has been posting post-match comments from players following their 3-1 victory over China. Kokuki Ogawa, who scored two goals, stated that set pieces have always been one of the main weapons for the Japanese team.
Kokuki Ogawa said, “In the first half, we made too many mistakes and couldn’t break through China’s defense, so we couldn’t control the game. However, set pieces are one of the main weapons for the Japanese team. I think the first goal was the turning point of the match.”
“In my view, a ‘trump card’ is a player who can step up and score when the team is in trouble. Both our first goal and my second goal successfully disrupted the momentum of the opponents, so I think these two goals were great.”
