[Columbus(Ohio)9th(10thJapantime)=SatoNaruhito]The Japanese national team (17th in the FIFA ranking) was completely defeated by the US national team (15th in the 1st in the same year) 0-2.

Despite creating opportunities, Japan conceded a goal in the 30th minute of the first half and the 20th minute of the second half. He was unable to score a goal away from the FIFA World Cup (World Cup) North and Central America Tournament in 2016, and ended his US tour without a score, following the match against Mexico on the 6th (7th).

Defender Mochizuki Henry Kaiki (23, FC Machida Zelvia), who started with a right wingback, spoke about both his satisfaction and his challenges.

He took advantage of his 192cm height from the beginning to become the starting point for the long ball, and he was involved in the chance. “It's something I can do to create a starting point at a high position, compete with headers, and get behind, so I played with that in mind. I've had to get out of the ball from (Sano) Kaishu, and I could cut deeper with (Ito) Junya, so I was able to do those parts a few times, so I think that was good,” he nodded.

On the other hand, the first goal in the 30th minute of the first half led to a cross that broke through his side and conceded a goal. “There was a left-handed opponent, so I tried to get in vertical position from inside, in a rather difficult position, but it got caught by scissors (= feint) and went vertically. I should have just cut inside and did the vertical speed competition as usual,” he said.

He then replied, “It's not a problem to be able to be dismissed with just one word of experience, but I think there will probably be similar scenes in the next J League, so I hope we can give back what we've gained, or rather make use of it.”
