Tanaka Aoi: The scene of Abu s injury will still appear in my mind. Their kindness helped me to be saved.

In the Kirin Cup friendly match, the Japanese team defeated Ghana 2-0 at home. In the 51st minute of the game, Ghana midfielder Abu Francis was accidentally kicked in his calf while blocking Tanaka Aoi's shot. The calf was severely deformed and he was carried directly off the field on a stretcher.

Tanaka Aoi was also shocked after the accident. After being replaced, he immediately visited the players and found Ghana coach Addo to apologize for causing Abramovich's injury. The Ghana coach also affirmed and thanked Tanaka Aoi for his apology in the post-match interview. According to the Japanese media "Sports News", Tanaka Ai was interviewed during a break in training today and talked about his mood when players were injured, as well as adjusting their mentality and other topics.

Tanaka Aoi said: "I very much hope that he can recover as soon as possible and return to the green field as soon as possible. Regarding this accident, first of all, I am very sorry, and I also feel very sorry about the matter. When I was replaced, my first reaction was to go to the opponent's head coach. In the end, he accepted my apology, and the same was true for the players who were accidentally kicked by me. Their goodwill allowed me to be redeemed, and I am very grateful for that."

"During the game, after all, something like this happened, my mood will be affected to some extent. That moment also reappeared in my mind for a certain period of time. I can't say that I have completely forgotten this scene, but I am a professional player after all."

When talking about the next game, Tanaka Aoi said: "If I play, I will still do my best, but I will not forget this mood and focus on performing on the court."
