Yuto Nagatomo stayed in the mixed zone for a few minutes after the game to comment on his own performance and on the game in general: “Before the substitution, Mazzarri told me to play aggressively towards the opponents’ goal and I tried to follow his instructions. It’s a pity that we have drawn three consecutive matches, but there are a lot of games left and it is in difficult times like this one that we need to prove our worth”. Yuto then talks about the World Cup: “We recieved a tough group. There are those who say that Japan managed to avoid the most competitive groups, but we will find it difficult nevertheless. However, we will do our best to qualify from the group stage, the World Cup is what every footballer dreams about. Guarin called me as soon as he found out that we were in the same group. He knows that Japan has a strong squad and that this group will be a very competitive one”.
