Lineups for Japan vs. Croatia
When Japan faces Croatia in the World Cup Round of 16, Yuto Nagatomo believes courage will be more important than team selection or tactics.
"I believe this is an excellent opportunity for us to demonstrate to the world how we can fight like Samurai," the defender said.
"They polish their weapons and try to improve their techniques before going into battle, but if they are scared during battle, they will be unable to fully utilise those weapons and techniques." "It's the same with football - tactics and techniques are important, but if we're afraid on the field, it doesn't matter how much we've improved."
