"I mean, I don't know that our national team is that strong, you know?" Higo stated during a phone call with his girlfriend the next day. "Compared to that, our game against South Korea U-20 in the last World Cup sounds like a joke now!"
It was a day after the game was over, and Higo, with his impatience, didn't wait for the sun to rise higher before he called his girlfriend and told her about this result.
After all, the game was only broadcast on local TV stations, so Kumiko, who was in Germany, wouldn't be able to watch it live from her room.
"I only watched the highlights and read the statistics, so I couldn't comment too much here. However, that is what you get when you are relying too much on individual heroism. Compared to that, the South Korea U-20 team that we faced a few years ago was definitely stronger."
