サムライジャパンの選択–2

That's a difficult choice、I thought of Coach Nishino's ``Losing by one point is acceptable.''。The timing of the decision that “yellow cards are strictly prohibited”。probably、I don't have enough strength left to win、I think that was the underlying decision.、I imagine。

It was a bit of a push in the first half.。I definitely wanted to get the first point in order to win.、There were many very sharp attacks.。But、As soon as I let my guard down, I conceded a point.。The coach may have sensed the heat and fatigue in the players.。Force the score to be tied while keeping this score、If you aim for a reversal、In fact, I think he felt that there was a greater possibility that he would get a counter attack and end up with a two-point difference.。

Furthermore, it was crucial that the Colombia-Senegal game was played at the same time.。The strengths of Colombia and Senegal、Considering the remaining time、I "bet" on "Colombia winning by 1 point" based on "statistical judgment"。if、For some reason, the Colombia-Senegal match、If the game had started 30 minutes late...。

Aside from things like fair play.、Coach Nishino's "probability/statistical" view of soccer arouses new interest.。Coach Khalil Hollige fired just before the start of the season、The fact that we appointed the manager who boasts the most wins as a Japanese manager、It may be the view of soccer that Mr. Nishino brought to the Football Association.、I also think。

Japan-Poland match、1-2Although Japan lost、Even if they win, Poland will be eliminated from the first round.、Japan will advance to the final tournament depending on how they lose.、Especially in the second half, this strategy came to the fore.。Although this development was anticipated in advance,、However, regarding the last 10 minutes、It must have divided the psychology of soccer fans into two.。

The media around the world, which puts sportsmanship first, criticized the game with comments such as ``I can no longer be called a samurai'' and ``This is the last match I want to see.''。on the other hand、Fans who value results have defended the game, saying things like, ``This is natural because it's a strategy'' and ``Other teams are also resting their main players.''。It is not easy to say that only one is correct.、I deeply felt that the team belonged to the coach.。

If this、If we can get a great victory in the next game against Belgium.、Coach Nishino's decision was the "best" one.、The disgusting feeling of this match will disappear from the hearts of the fans.。In short, “consequences”、said one of the Nadeshiko members who won the women's Wcup.。

Nadeshiko also played a similar match in the quarterfinals.、That leads to victory、It became a fever all over Japan.。However, “the result is everything” means that、It could turn out that the “spirit of fair play” is unnecessary.。All you have to do is win、That goes against the samurai spirit.、It is a sport that is firmly connected to the essence of current sports.。But on the other hand、The meaningless "Gyokusai Tactics" are also、I don't want to see it。

変なクセ

「森の男または萬鐵五郎礼賛」 (習作)

I noticed a strange habit。glasses frame、Habit of biting the part that covers the ear。right ear、I felt pain in the area where I put on my glasses.。As we get older, we get wrinkles.、I assumed that it was painful due to tightness.、I didn't check my glasses carefully.。

The part that goes over the ear is jagged。This must definitely hurt、How? read a book on the train、Take off your glasses when watching the news on your smartphone。When there is no chest pocket、He bites his glasses between his teeth and dangles them while reading.、That's what I thought。

In "World Cup"、I wrote about GK Kawashima's "bad habits"。This has become a (recent) bad habit of mine.。It's hard to notice your own quirks。

He also has some good habits.。While playing soccer、Supporters picking up trash after the match (is this a sense of duty?)、Japanese、It has become a hot topic in various countries as a "habit" (such as the distinction between habits and habits).、Please leave this out of the question here! )。Trying to develop good habits in children、School teachers develop various tactics。but、It seems like it's a habit of looking for clever loopholes.、seems to have completely failed。
