The news about Erling Haaland really caused a storm not just in Team Japan, but also in all the other remaining teams in the tournament. They started working harder than usual, wanting to showcase their talent to the head coach so that they could play in the next game.
In their mind, as long as they could play, they could be the next Erling Haaland, pulling a miracle game that was so ridiculous that all the media would shower them with attention, and then scouts from big teams all around Europe would take a fancy to them.
It was just a ridiculous daydreaming from a bunch of teenagers, but their head coach would never interrupt this moment. Why not, especially since the boys also worked twice as hard as usual here? No, let them burn their energy trying to improve, as this was a better state than them just training like a robot, following the order without knowing why they had to do this.
Of course, not all the players got caught in this frenzy state.
