A promising Japanese soccer player from FC Seoul's U-15 team is drawing attention through his performance on the Japanese U-16 national soccer team.

Japan's U-16 national soccer team defeated Nepal's U-16 national soccer team 9-2 in the first round of Group F of the 2024 AFC U-17 Asian Cup qualifying round in Doha on the 23rd. Japanese media <Gekisaka> introduced his unique history to Japanese fans, noting striker Daichi Tani, who scored four goals in the game.

"He scored four goals with his words and actions as if he were a character from the popular cartoon Blue Rock and his goal-scoring play. He certainly showed his presence in the game after wearing the Japanese national team uniform for the first time," Kekisaka said, praising Tani's performance.

However, what <Gekisaka> paid attention to is Tani's unique history. Tani sent the spotlight because he is a player who learned soccer in Korea. <Gekisaka> said, "Tani grew up in Korea until junior high school, and he did not have any experience representing Japan before," adding, "Tani, who joined Sagan Dos U-18 after FC Seoul U-15, paid attention to Hiroyama, head coach." Hiroyama explained the background of the representative, saying, "I observed Tani in cooperation with the coaching staff of Sagan Dos, and I selected him because I judged him to be a different type than other players."

Tani said, "The goal is important for a striker. The goalkeeper came out and tried to shoot a chip, but he was blocked. Still, he reacted to the second ball. If you are a striker, you need to be selfish and it was good to score a goal with a heel kick." 스포츠토토

"When I first came to Japan, I was worried about communication, but there was no problem because everyone was kind," he said, showing his complete adaptation to life in Japan. "Gekisaka" praised, "Excellent adaptability led to the selection of the national team and he met expectations with impressive performance in the first game."
