--About host country Russia   

Takahashi: Russia is a team that doesn't have so many famous players in the first place. Previously, when Keisuke Honda was playing in the Russian League, his teammate Alan Dzagoev was playing in NIKE Mercurial. Unfortunately, you got injured about 10 minutes after the opening match against Saudi Arabia.

Dzagoev is a dribbler who slashes into the opponent's team with a sharp vertical propulsion force. Also, it is characteristic that it runs well into the space. I think Mercurial is a great shoe that can take advantage of it to support his movements.

I am very much looking forward to and expecting how much performance he will perform after returning to the final tournament.

--Russia's strength
 

Takahashi: After all it is all-out. Each member of the team is fighting for their homeland in their homeland. I feel the strong power to promote as a whole while unifying the intentions and clarifying the division of roles. Perhaps it is unique to the host country, it is very commanded. I think it's a place where you can pay attention to that aspect.

When he gets injured, the player who takes turns will be Denis Cheryshev. His spikes will also be Mercurial. He was wearing fixed shoes in the first race, and even if he grips them, they will come off a little. I personally felt that I could play while preventing injuries.

It wasn't just for Dzagoev, but it was very impressive that the players who came out from the middle were playing well.

--The power of NIKE Mercurial
 

Takahashi: Mercurial brings out the power of a ball holder player who holds the ball firmly under the body with a first touch, like Cheryshev. The first scene was also the first goal after trapping firmly under my feet and then sliding the two opponents with a kick feint. After all, I think that Mercurial's strengths have been maximized.

The FG sole for natural turf they are wearing is also very lightweight, so I think it is very helpful to play.

--Pressure unique to your home country
 

Takahashi: While feeling the pressure of being the host country as a whole, everyone was in the right place. The fact that each team member continued to play as they should have in this qualifying would have been a factor in advancing to the final tournament.

At the opening match against Saudi Arabia, I thought, "There is something in the World Cup." Saudi Arabia, which suffered a lot from Japan in the Asian qualifiers, was completely drunk by Russia.

Mr Putin was firmly in the audience from the beginning to the end, so I felt a political element (laughs). I think it's good to say to the world, but there are some players fighting while feeling invisible pressure.

If you break through the 16th best in your own country, it seems that you will continue to gain momentum and win. Attention. (End)
