Yesterday, the Japan national team demonstrated one of the two most surprising results in this World Cup.

The Asian team unexpectedly defeated Germany 2:1.

Jose Mourinho, who is staying in Japan with AS Roma team, said that such a result did not surprise him too much.

To be honest, Japan's victory against Germany did not surprise me. Japan is a good team.. their mentality is different, in European football, there is a big focus on individuals

"I trained players from Asia, I trained the best Asian players, their mentality is special," - said the Portuguese.

🗣️ "In European football there is a big focus on the individual, egos. I coached the best Asian player [Son], the mentality is special. The team is the most important thing."
