When he struggles, he gives his son a heartless DM……Moriyasu’s Third Son Reveals: “Dad during the World Cup

However, the parent-child relationship never changed. My father always told me common sense things like, “When you meet someone, greet them first.

Be a person before you are a soccer player.”

These words are still fundamental to his life to this day.

After becoming the manager of the national team, the attention of those around him increased, regardless of his family’s wishes. At times, the harsh opinions of the public were directed at the family. During the hard-fought Asian qualifying rounds for the World Cup, Riku received some heartless DMs on Twitter.

I ignored them all (laughs). So this time, too, I tried not to open social networking sites too much. I know I can’t help it to some extent, but I see things I don’t want to see. I think my father is the same type of person. Are your feelings affected by gossip? I don’t think so at all. I think that’s why I’m able to do this job, though.”

The good sense of “insensitivity” that Riku also possesses may be the most important thing he inherited from his father.

The Moriyasu family also has a group LINE, which most families should have by now. During the World Cup this year, when the whole family sent a message, the father replied to it.

When we won, we all sent messages. After the Germany game, I got a reply saying, ‘We’ll do our best next time. After the game against Spain, they sent me a message saying, ‘I was able to do my best because of my family’s support.'”

Regardless of whether he was the center of public attention or the man of the moment, he was still the same “dad” he had always been. Perhaps this time, too, daily life will resume with the usual exchange of “I’m home” and “Good work. Moriyasu’s contract has been reportedly extended, but to his family, he will continue to be the same “father” he has always been.
