SKOR.id - Pelatih Brighton and Hove Albion, Roberto De Zerbi, mengungkapkan rasa terkejutnya terkait salah satu pemain andalannya, Kaoru Mitoma, yang tetap dibawa Timnas Jepang ke Piala Asia 2023.

Padahal, Roberto De Zerbi sebelumnya menginformasikan sebelum melawan Tottenham Hotspur pekan lalu, Kaoru Mitoma mengalami cedera pergelangan kaki, yang membuatnya harus absen beberapa pekan.

Bahkan, melihat perkiraan waktu pemulihan itu, membuat Roberto De Zerbi merasa Kaoru Mitoma tidak akan bermain di Piala Asia 2023 yang akan digelar di Qatar pada 12 Januari-10 Februari 2024.

Tapi kenyataannya, pelatih Timnas Jepang, Hajime Moriyasu, tetap memasukkan pemain berusia 26 tahun itu masuk dalam daftar 26 pemain yang dibawanya ke Piala Asia nanti.

"Saya benar-benar terkejut karena staf medis saya memberi tahu saya bahwa Mitoma membutuhkan empat hingga enam minggu untuk cederanya," ujar Roberto De Zerbi, kepada wartawan seperti dikutip Reuters.

"Bagi saya, sulit untuk berpikir dia bisa bermain di Piala Asia. Tetapi saya adalah penggemar Mitoma, dari semua pemain saya. Jadi jika mereka bisa bermain untuk tim nasional mereka, saya sangat senang dan bangga," Roberto De Zerbi menambahkan.

Seperti diketahui, pada Piala Asia 2023 Jepang tergabung di Grup D bersama Irak, Vietnam, dan Timnas Indonesia.

Mereka menargetkan bisa meraih juara Piala Asia untuk kelima kalinya, setelah sebelumnya mereka dapatkan pada 1992, 2000, 2004, dan 2011.

Pada laga perdana, tim berjulukan Samurai Biru itu akan menghadapi Vietnam pada 14 Januari nanti. Kemudian, mereka akan menjajal Irak pada 19 Januari, dan terakhir menghadapi Timnas Indonesia, 24 Januari mendatang.

Mereka pun sudah melakukan persiapan dan melakoni satu kali uji coba sebelum terjun ke Piala Asia. Dalam laga uji coba itu, Jepang berhasil menang telak 5-0, atas Thailand di Stadion Nasional, Tokyo, 1 Januari 2024.

Setelah laga itu, Hajime Moriyasu, di hari yang sama langsung mengumumkan 26 pemain yang dibawanya untuk Piala Asia 2023.

Selain Kaoru Mitoma, para pemain Jepang lainnya yang bermain di Premier League seperti Takehiro Tomiyasu (Arsenal) dan Wataru Endo (Liverpool) juga diboyong ke Qatar.
