Kashima Antlers U11 Head Coach: The victory or defeat doesn’t matter…

The head coach of Kashima Kagami U11 team in the U11 group of the 8th Kuaibu Cloud Cup International Football Invitational Tournament Nasukawa was interviewed during the inter-game break program. When talking about whether the outcome of the (youth) football match is important, he said that the result is not important, and working hard to win is more important, whether it is football or life.

I agree with this Japanese point of view - working hard for victory, whether it is football or life, is more important. In youth football, since it is a competitive sports, we must strive to pursue victory, whether it is for the team's victory or for our own victory (developing upward in competition).

And the result is a natural result; it is also very important to face the result correctly (regardless of the outcome), analyze the results, and extract the next power to the victory.

But not everyone has the ability to face the results correctly, no matter how beautiful he says it.
