Wembley, the shrine of soccer, praised the attitude of the Japanese supporters after the match, separate from the Japan national team's victory.
Moriyasu Hajime (58)'s Japan protected the opener by Mitoma Kaoru (29, BRIGHTEN), who scored in the 23rd minute of the first half, and won 1-0 in the friendly against England at Wembley Stadium in London, England, on the 1st (Korea time).
With this, Japan achieved its historic first win against England, which had managed only 1 draw and 2 losses in four previous meetings. Also, with this victory Japan recorded an overwhelming record of 6 wins and 1 draw in seven matches against European teams since Moriyasu took charge.
The 79,233 spectators packed into the stadium jeered their own England. It was an expression of disappointment at an unsatisfactory performance with Harry Kane absent.
Meanwhile, Wembley Stadium's official social media praised the "trash-picking sight" shown by Japanese fans in the away section after the match.
In the released footage, the Japanese fans were holding blue trash bags they had prepared in advance. They then thoroughly cleaned the area around their seats. Japan's cleaning culture, which became a topic at major events such as the World Cup, was reproduced in the heart of the shrine of soccer.
This quickly sparked a strong reaction. According to Japan's Football Zone, social media was filled with praise, including "people with the most respectful hearts on this planet," "a culture created by courtesy and respect," and "see you again at Wembley, you're welcome anytime."
