FIFA WC 2026: 'Coming Back Twice Gave Us Great Confidence', Says Japan Coach After Dutch Stalemate

By IANS News June 15, 2026 • 11:50 AM View: 365

FIFA World Cup Group: Japan head coach Hajime Moriyasu said his team gained confidence from a 2-2 draw with the Netherlands in their FIFA World Cup Group F opener, while also admitting disappointment at failing to secure victory.

Japan came from behind twice to earn a point against one of the tournament favourites the Netherlands.

"I am not satisfied with only one point, but I believe this point is worth more than a point," Moriyasu said, as quoted by Xinhua. "The players executed our game plan well and showed strong response under pressure. Coming back twice has given us great confidence."
