Japanese national team player Ritsu Doan updated his social media on July 26 (Beijing time), discussing his goal of winning the World Cup.

Doan Ritsu wrote:

Personally, I have no other goal in the World Cup than to win it.

I understand that some people believe we should set more realistic goals.

But when I returned to Japan, the most common expectation I heard was, "Please win the championship next time!"

No one ever told me they hoped we would make it to the quarterfinals.

I believe that his all-out effort to win the championship touched many fans.

Whether a goal is appropriate can only be judged by the results.

My sole focus will be on winning the championship!
