The following is my insight. Moriyasu has rarely talked about Kyogo’s performance in interviews so far, but I think his words and evaluation criteria have gradually changed. Moriyasu tends to encourage players to be spontaneous, and has incorporated a lot of players’ thoughts and opinions in team building.

If I look at him negatively, he basically adopt hands-off style in management, but if I look at him positively, he is a generous person who can cherish thoughts of players. I guess that he became to think more positively about Kyogo by learning a lot about his teammates’ trust in Kyogo and their relationships, combinations, and thoughts through training.

As a Celtic fan, I’m very happy that Celtic’s Japanese bhoys have been properly evaluated and played important roles in building the team’s foundation for the next World Cup.

And I saw some media outside of Japan mention their remarks about next season, but Celtic’s Japanese Bhoys have never talked specifically about it, so there’s no need for us to be overly worried about it now.

Now I just hope that they will have a fulfilling off-season with their family and friends. Finally, I would like to share my impressions of impressive performance in this game as follows.

That’s all.

Today it was proved that Reo is indispensable to Japanese national team as linkman. He played only in 1st half, from 2nd half, switch between offense and defense was delayed. It’s difficult for the team to carry the ball smoothly without him. pic.twitter.com/3KqltnT44H

Kyogo’s positioning was great in today’s game. Mitoma scored a goal in this scene, but Kyogo is there assuming that Mitoma shoot and keeper block his shot. I hope that Moriyasu is evaluating his tactics and movement. pic.twitter.com/5MTo2dy6B7

I’m happy to see Celtic Japanese Bhoys have positive effects on the national team by making use of their own strengths in 4-1-4-1 system. It’s a little easier for me to imagine what role they will play in similar system under Brendan at Celtic next season. pic.twitter.com/rGW75QqgOi
