‘Japan seemed to have replaced all 11 players’ Spain national team Morata recalls Moriyasu J’s ‘shock’! “I just couldn’t react. I can’t believe it”[Coppa del Mondo]| Soccer Digest Web

“We were completely caught off guard and hardly ever reacted,” said the 30-year-old striker. “Spain were almost eliminated. It was unbelievable.”

“I also have to congratulate the Japanese players, because they did the same thing against Germany as well as against Spain.”

“Kubo (Takefusa Kubo) said, ‘If it was another team, he would have been clearer and would have run away,'” he replied.

“It’s just like life. What you thought was bad for you can turn out to be the best thing in the world. Whether it’s your love life, your job, your family, that’s just the way it is.”
