What Kiyo Ueda is looking forward to after his two historic goals: "The job of a forward. The goal is to win the championship."
Kiyo Ueda braced herself for her first World Cup goal and her first two shots in one game for the Japanese national team. While referring to Messi and Mbappe, he talked about the essence of a striker whose first priority is contributing to the team's victory.
Even after Kiyo Ueda, the Japan national team forward, scored her first World Cup goal against Tunisia and became the first Japanese player to score two points in one game (brace), she remains focused on contributing to the team's ultimate goal of winning the championship. At a press conference ahead of the game against Sweden, he made clear his professional, team-first attitude, noting that scoring goals is a "forward's job" and that individual success is only a prerequisite for the team's cause, although he mentioned world-famous stars Lionel Messi and Kylian Mbappé. Ueda acknowledged that his two goals against Tunisia were his first World Cup goals, but he didn't stop at that personal milestone.
