“Daichi Kamada expressed his childhood dream of representing Japan at the World Cup, stating that a recent result has made those dreams feel closer than ever. He emphasized that the team's aspiration has evolved beyond mere participation or reaching the next round, now aiming to make history by winning the World Cup for Japan for the very first time.”

“Daichi Kamada was asked which country he would support to win the World Cup if Japan were eliminated, following Japan's emphatic 4-0 victory over Tunisia. He stated that while Japan's focus is on winning, he believes many Japanese fans would support Portugal due to the widespread admiration for Cristiano Ronaldo and his inspiring influence on young players. Kamada noted Portugal as a fantastic team and suggested many Japanese would cheer for them if Japan's journey ended, but reiterated that Japan's success remains his primary focus.”

“Daichi Kamada highly praises his former coach Oliver Glasner, crediting him for building his defensive confidence and helping him transition into a deeper-lying midfield role (No. 6). Kamada, who scored Japan's equalizer against the Netherlands at the World Cup, states that Glasner's defensive tactics are 'among the best in the world' and believes lessons learned from him have secured him a more substantial role for Japan, which also plays a 3-4-3 system.”
