The Japanese national team, led by Moriyasu, was only a disappointing performance in the A-match in September. He declared his World Cup victory and took the first step on his journey to the World Cup stage beyond the Asian stage. But coming back was a below-expecting performance. The shocking result of one draw and one loss greeted Japan. Japan, which had a 0-0 draw against Mexico, lost the subsequent match against the United States 0-2. He has never been able to shake the net against strong players in Latin America. The overwhelming performance of the Asian qualifiers was overshadowed. Coach Moriyasu bowed to fans after the A-match in September and even apologized to the public.
But October was a reversal. Japan, which struggled against Paraguay but ended up in a 2-2 draw, made history in the ensuing friendly against Brazil. It was a 3-2 come-from-behind victory. Japan, which had never beaten Brazil with two draws and 11 losses in its past 13 encounters, finally beat Brazil in its 14th attempt. He ended the winless match against Brazil, which continued from September's A match, and took the victory.
Japan was recognized for its A-match performance in October and maintained its 19th place in the FIFA rankings. It also maintained its top position in Asia and raised expectations for the draw as a World Cup port 2.

Sports Hochi said 'Moriyasu recently inspected a J-League game. Afterwards, the interview was conducted'Moriyas said he received two to three times as many messages after his usual match after the victory over Brazil. He also praised Shohei Ohtani of the Los Angeles Dodgers for his performance.
Ohtani recently played as a starting pitcher and first hitter in Game 4 of the National League Championship Series against Milwaukee Brewers at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles, and allowed two hits, three walks and 10 strikeouts in six innings as a pitcher, and three hits, one walk and three RBIs in three at-bats as a batter.
Moriyasu can only be described as "great."I think I'll do well even if I play soccer from now on. I want to use Ohtani as our World Cup secret weapon" he noted. Some Japanese fans responded to this by saying, `It's natural that you're the best athlete.' However, it seems difficult to expect a star player like Ohtani to come out of the Japanese national team right away.
