スポーツ｜森保監督、浦和勢招集見送りの理由 / Sports | Coach Moriyasu explains the reason for not calling up players from Urawa.

Summary

Japan national team coach Hajime Moriyasu has indicated that he will not call up players from Urawa Reds for the East Asia E-1 Championship.

This decision takes into account the fatigue from the Club World Cup and the situation with injured players, particularly as Junosuke Suzuki has been excluded due to injury. The coach plans to focus on domestic players for his selections, and future strategies will be closely watched.

Dialogue

This dialogue is fictional and based on the article.

Chako: Hey, Log! I heard that Coach Moriyasu isn’t calling up any Urawa players! I wonder why that is?
Log: Yeah, Chako. It’s because of fatigue from the Club World Cup and some injured players. Apparently, Suzuki is injured.
Chako: Oh, really? So, he’s focusing on domestic players then.
Navi: Just to add, the coach is prioritizing the players’ condition, so it’s likely that he’s making the optimal selection of players.
Log: That’s right. It’s really important to assess the players’ conditions.

Admin’s Note

I feel that Coach Moriyasu’s selection policy this time is based on the important consideration of prioritizing the players’ health and performance. In particular, Suzuki’s injury is a setback for the team, but it’s essential to ensure the players are in good condition for the national team. By giving opportunities to domestic players, there is also the potential to discover new talent. It will be interesting to see how this strategy unfolds in the future.
