Aston Villa goalkeeper Zion Suzuki said he is confident Japan can win next year's Asian Cup and thinks his "very bad" performances were responsible for their quarter-final exit two years ago."I want to help the team and we are confident to win the Asian Cup," he added.
Aston Villa goalkeeper Zion Suzuki arrived from Parma this summer and has been praised for his performances in the Premier League. At the 2024 Asian Cup, Suzuki's errors contributed to Japan's quarter-final loss to Iran. Despite his mistakes, Suzuki is confident Japan can win the tournament next year, which begins in January in Saudi Arabia.
The goalkeeper has been impressed by the intensity of Villa's style of play and is eager to improve further. Suzuki expressed his desire to help Japan end their 16-year wait for the Asian Cup title. Japan's next match is a friendly against Brazil in Singapore in November, ahead of the Asian Cup.
