We have heard the Tiebans complain about the incompetence of Coach Kishikawa in not using his depth behind the top 3 more often. Hopefully this match gives Tiebans encouraging evidence lol (he will be accused of not *preparing* them to play Kazakhstan lol).
Poor guy again. Who else but me to straighten you out?
Even Harimoto said in the interview that
even he didn't know why Kishikawa didn't field Matsushima and he knew that lineup would end up going down to the wire. Whether or not he's holding back information, something is seriously wrong with the chain of command (
that was already raised back at ATTC 2025), when their 2nd and 3rd singles players were replaced by two who had never played in those positions out of the blue here (that they could've experienced at WTTC 2026), going up against the 1st and 2nd [placed in 3rd here] singles players of the opposing team, especially the former that has defeated their current WR1.

男团QF 赛后采访
——首先恭喜球队晋级本届亚锦赛四强。今天面对哈萨克斯坦队，赛前有没有想过会和对手拼到第五盘？
“我看今天这个名单，我觉得很有可能。如果是亚运会的名单，我觉得没想到会打到第五场。但看今天我们户上松岛不参赛的情况，我觉得很有可能打到第五场。”
——松岛辉空今天是因为什么原因没有上场？
“我也不太知道（笑），去问他或者问监督吧。”
——今天面对格拉斯门科，在先丢一局的情况下，连扳三局，自己做了哪些调整？
“知道我们队1比2落后，知道我输了就结束了。
确实他第一局拼得也很好，然后我可能状态也还没打起来。我觉得从第二局中局开始，可能发接发球各方面更冷静一点，失误更少一点。后面三局算是正常发挥吧。”
——你如何评价作为队友的篠塚大登？他比较冷静的心态，是否对团队取得胜利起到了一定的作用？
“他的性格可能就是比较冷静，不太表现出来，不太会喊啊那种。
他的性格就是这样，我觉得今天能拿下来第五场已经很不错了。”
——在名古屋亚运会男团夺冠之后，来到塔什干，你觉得球队在冲击亚锦赛男团冠军的道路上，真正的挑战在哪里？
“我知道和亚运会的名单，特别是中国、韩国这些国家的名单不一样，包括我们自己，我们都是不一样的。
但是对我来说，亚锦赛就是亚锦赛。不管谁参赛，亚锦赛就是很大的比赛。亚运会、亚锦赛、亚洲杯、世界杯、奥运会、世锦赛，这六个大赛。
我不管别的国家，包括日本队怎么出战，我肯定是要去拿亚锦赛的冠军、亚洲冠军，和亚运会一样的心情。
不管明天谁参赛，我现在也不知道，但我先把自己的两分拿好，然后把单打项目、双打项目打好，和亚运会一样的心情去拼。” [

(Post-Match Interview: Men’s Team Quarterfinals
— First of all, congratulations to the team on reaching the semifinals of the Asian Championships. Going into today’s match against Kazakhstan, did you anticipate that it would go all the way to a fifth deciding match?
“Looking at today’s lineup, I thought it was quite likely. If it had been the same squad as the one for the Asian Games, I wouldn’t have expected it to go to a fifth match. But given that Matsushima Sora wasn’t in the lineup today, I felt a fifth match was very possible.”
— Why didn’t Matsushima Sora play today?
“I’m not entirely sure (laughs)—you’d have to ask him or the head coach.”
— You faced Gerasimenko today; after losing the first game, you came back to win the next three. What adjustments did you make?
“I knew the team was trailing 1–2, and that if I lost, it would all be over.
He played very well in the first game, and I hadn’t quite found my rhythm yet. From the middle of the second game onward, I managed to stay calmer—especially during the serve and receive phases—and cut down on my unforced errors. I think I played at my usual level for the final three games.”
— How would you describe your teammate, Shinozuka Hiroto? Did his composed demeanor play a role in the team’s victory?
“He’s naturally quite calm; he doesn’t really show much emotion—he’s not the type to shout or get overly expressive.
That’s just his personality. I think it’s great that he was able to pull off the win in that fifth match today.”
— Following your men’s team gold at the Asian Games in Nagoya, what do you see as the real challenge for the team here in Tashkent as you pursue the Asian Championship title?
“I know that the rosters for this tournament differ from those for the Asian Games—this is true for China, South Korea, and other nations, including our own; everyone’s lineup is different.
But for me, the Asian Championships are just that—the Asian Championships. Regardless of who is competing, this is a major event. Along with the Asian Games, the Asian Cup, the World Cup, the Olympics, and the World Championships, these make up the six major tournaments.
I’m not concerned with how other countries—including Japan—have chosen to field their teams. My goal is to win the Asian Championships and become the Asian champion; my mindset is exactly the same as it was for the Asian Games.
I don’t yet know who I’ll be facing tomorrow, but my focus remains on securing my two points, performing well in both the singles and doubles events, and giving it my all—with the same intensity I brought to the Asian Games.”)
好奇日乒教练是根本不会跟球员沟通排兵布阵吗？

贴吧用户_JRUXe78 24亚锦赛老盒感冒，团体排位赛不管输赢下一届种子位都是一样的，老盒以为自己不用上，完全没做准备，最后打港队一单丢两分了。
这次亚锦赛松猪没上场，日男差点翻车输哈萨克斯坦，老盒赛后采访说不太知道为什么松猪没上场，让记者去问松猪和教练。

(At the 2024 Asian Championships, Old Carton caught a cold. Since the seeding for the next edition would remain the same regardless of the outcome of the team ranking matches, Old Carton assumed he wouldn’t need to play and hadn’t prepared at all—only to end up losing two points while playing as the number 1st singles player against the HKG team.
Meanwhile, Matsu-Pig did not get fielded in this Asian Championships, and the Japanese men nearly suffered a disastrous upset against KAZ. In a post-match interview, Harimoto mentioned that he wasn’t entirely sure why Matsu-Pig didn’t play, suggesting that reporters should ask Matsu-Pig and the coach instead.)
