Recently, the focus of attention of the Chinese and Japanese soccer world turned to the Chinese Super League Wuhan three towns, where the Japanese coach Hisashi Kurosaki took the helm, and accepted the in-depth interview with the Japanese YAHOO media. In the interview, Kurosaki Hisashi analyzed the current situation of Chinese soccer. He pointed out that even if the World Cup quota is increased to 8.5, it will still be very difficult for the Chinese team to break through to Asia. Moreover, he shares a strange phenomenon he observed in China: many Japanese fans do not have good feelings towards Chinese soccer, a phenomenon that puzzles him deeply.

Talking about the pattern of Asian soccer, Kurosaki Hisashi said bluntly: "this group stage, China and South Korea may not be easy to fight for the top spot, they may be with Thailand to fight for the second place. And the rise of Thai soccer should not be underestimated. I don't think China can beat Thailand easily. Perhaps, China's dream of the World Cup has long been shattered. Hopefully they will give their best."

Speaking about Chinese companies' sponsorship of the World Cup, Hisashi Kurosaki said, "Many Chinese companies have committed to World Cup sponsorship, and despite the fact that the Chinese men's soccer team has not been able to participate in the World Cup for many years, the influence of Chinese companies has continued to climb enviably. Some may believe that Chinese companies are sponsoring the World Cup in order to gain more opportunities to participate in the future. In any case, with more World Cup spots available, China's aspirations to advance seem more within reach."

Talking about the current situation of the Chinese men's soccer team, Hisashi Kurosaki confessed, "In China, whenever the Japanese team beats a South American or European powerhouse, you can see the cheers of many Japanese fans. However, for their own national team, their enthusiasm is greatly reduced. I think there are many similar fans in China who are utilitarian and give up at the slightest disadvantage. This is in stark contrast to Japanese fans, who always try to recover from a disadvantage when faced with adversity. Once China suffers a setback in the preliminaries, they may quickly lose confidence."
