Previous interview with Mori Yasuichi: We may be laughed at, but our goal is to win the World Cup

A foreign reporter asked Japanese coach Yasuichi Mori: Japan has never advanced to the quarterfinals of the World Cup, so why does it set the goal of winning the championship?

In response, Mori Yasuichi replied: "Of course we know this, but in the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, we lost to Croatia on a penalty kick, so I think we have a chance to win the World Cup, and that is the most important thing."

"The Japan Football Association has previously publicly stated that we want to win the World Cup before 2050. In order to realize this dream, we must challenge ourselves. People may laugh at us, but there is definitely a chance to win the World Cup."
