Yusei Sugawara: Japanese players have gained recognition in Europe; Junya Ito is a tactic in the national team

After completing 3 days of training, Japanese international Yusuke Sugawara was interviewed by the Japanese media.

Yusuke Sugawara said: "Although I played in the game, the team lost three games in a row and I only played the full game in the third game. I am far from satisfied."

Yusuke Sugawara said: "Every aspect is different, the players' personal abilities are different, the team's tactical level is also different, but the most important thing is the difference in personal ability, which I felt in the three games."

Yusuke Sugawara said: "If we say that last year, Kaoru Mitoma, Takehiro Tomiyasu and Wataru Endo greatly enhanced the reputation of Japanese players, I also feel that the evaluation standards of Japanese players in Europe have changed. They are recognized not only in England, but throughout Europe. Now they are no longer treated differently because they are Japanese. Japanese players are also compared with European players, which forms a virtuous circle."

Yusuke Sugawara said: "Tactics are very important. It is very detailed. If I start talking about it now, it will take an hour. Although it will take a long time to express it in words, he is a coach who plays with a plan. I also communicated with the coach and trained during the preseason, but there are still many things that the coach asked for that I have not fully digested. I hope to solve these problems as soon as possible. ”

Yusei Sugawara said: "This is him, hug him, it feels good to finally come back. Ito Jun'ya's performance in the Japanese national team can be called a tactic, and he has taken a lot of responsibility. ”

"He led the team in personal breakthroughs, and I also felt very reliable when I watched from behind. Although his offensive performance attracted a lot of attention, his dedication and defense also made me feel his contribution to the team. ”

"I am very happy that he is back, and I am even happy that I want to sleep with him (joking)."
