Since childhood, many Japanese players have been indoctrinated with the concept of "either learning from smart students or becoming excellent athletes." Therefore, the bitter journey of Japanese players began from an early age.
Many Japanese players go through rigorous training and high-intensity competitions. From elementary school to college, they participate in various club and school team training, and conduct long-term technical and tactical training and physical training every day. Still, due to fierce competition, only a very small number of people can make it to the top flight.
Japanese players often face great pressure and difficulties in their careers. Many players need to leave their homes, leave their families and friends, and go to other countries to play. They have to adapt to new cultures, languages and customs, while also facing loneliness in a foreign country.
Japanese players also often encounter difficulties in foreign leagues. In addition to language barriers and cultural differences, they also have to adapt to high-intensity competitions and fierce competition. Japanese players are often regarded as technical rather than physical, and they need to work hard to overcome this dilemma.
Japanese players also face pressure and criticism from fans and the media. Although the level of Japanese football has been recognized in the world, many people still have doubts about the performance of Japanese players. They are often criticized by the media and need to maintain confidence in difficult times.
The bitter journey of Japanese players is not easy to come by. They need to prove their strength through long training and high-intensity competitions. They have to face loneliness, difficulties and pressure, but it is these difficulties that forge their tenacious character and unyielding spirit. Their painful journey may not be easily noticed, but it deserves our respect and attention.
