Japan midfielder Daichi Kamada credits former Crystal Palace manager Oliver Glasner for helping spark a turnaround in his form, according to reports from Channel NewsAsia and The Japan Times. Both outlets say Kamada has become an important part of Japan’s setup as the team prepares to make a strong impression at the World Cup. The articles attribute Kamada’s improved performance and growing influence to changes introduced during his time under Glasner, including how he is used and coached in key phases of play. While the focus of the coverage is on Kamada’s personal development, the reporting also links his rise to Japan’s broader ambitions for the tournament. The sources present Kamada’s comments as part of a wider narrative of how Japan are aiming to perform at a higher level on the global stage, with established and emerging players contributing to the team’s objectives. No conflicting details are highlighted across the two accounts, and both present the same central claim: Kamada sees Glasner’s coaching as a major factor behind his resurgence and effectiveness for Japan.
