Coach Hajime Moriyasu's shocking remarks are making a big impact on the Japanese soccer community.

Japanese media "Daily Gendai" reported on the 8th (Korea time) that "Coach Moriyasu, who leads the national team, said that more Japanese players are playing on the European stage. He said he is also considering living in Europe, causing a big stir in the J-League."

Moriyasu visited five countries, including Germany, the Netherlands and England, for 17 days from Jan. 31 for his European tour. He reportedly watched 16 matches in a short time.

Since then, Moriyasu has attracted attention with remarks that will surprise the Japanese soccer community. Media such as "Sports Hochi" spotlighted Moriyasu, who met with reporters at Haneda International Airport in Tokyo on the 19th.

"A lot of Japanese players are playing overseas. There are so many games that I have to watch," he said. "I wonder if this is the best way to observe it. I also need to consider living in Europe myself."

In fact, more than 90 percent of the Japanese national team's players are currently playing in Europe. Still, Moriyasu has a schedule where he has to monitor J-League games every weekend.

"Moriyasu's visit to J-League matches gives motivation to players. If he chooses to live in Europe, the atmosphere of him taking on overseas challenges will be even clearer. This will undermine the motivation of the team and reduce the competitiveness of the J-League," the media said, adding that many people oppose Moriyasu's stay in Europe for this reason. 먹튀검증

Despite such concerns, however, Moriyasu's plan seems to be making progress. "An official from the Japanese national soccer team suggested Moriyasu stay in Europe to solve the accumulated fatigue that comes every time he visits Europe," the daily Gendai said.

"Coach Moriyasu's mention of his plan to live in Europe will create a stir in the national team and the J-League," he stressed.
