Title target as Suzuki seeks redemption

Kuala Lumpur: Japan’s Zion Suzuki has set his sights on winning the AFC Asian Cup Saudi Arabia 2027™ to make amends for his errors at the previous edition of the continental championship and repay Hajime Moriyasu for the faith the Samurai Blue coach showed in the young goalkeeper.

Suzuki endured a baptism of fire at the AFC Asian Cup Qatar 2023™ when, as a raw 21-year-old, he made several costly mistakes on the way to the country’s quarter-final exit at the hands of the Islamic Republic of Iran.

But, having since established himself at both club and international level, the towering goalkeeper is keen to pay back Moriyasu as the Japan head coach prepares for his final tournament in charge of the national team.
