Tennis ace Novak Djokovic’s wife Jelena Djokovic shared a heartfelt Instagram story on how Japanese men’s football team coach Hajime Moriyasu apologized to the fans after the team crashed out of the ongoing FIFA World Cup 2022 in Qatar.
Japan bowed out of the World Cup in the Round of 16 after losing 3-1 (1-1) to Croatia on penalties.
Jelena took to social media to share a post about the actions of Japan’s coach Moriyasu following the defeat. She urged everyone to take note of what his actions meant by writing:
“Read it”
The post that Jelena shared explained that there is a lot to learn from the kingdoms and emperors in Japan, where honor and morality have not gone out of fashion.
“Many interpret the bow as gratitude but this is about apologizing for not achieving better results. The deeper the bow the bigger the apology. Imagine if we all so respectfully forgiving each other a moment of weakness, regardless of how much brighter each day would be. This is how you serve your people and your country,” the post read.
It added:
“Since everyone will agree this is beautiful, imagine how much nicer it would be to nod our heads in support of the other driver instead of honking, cursing, waving our hands, imagine this gift to a pregnant woman waiting in line, imagine this gift gentlemen well who up to pay bills with a couple the words “After you sir”, imagine in the morning when going under this sky you bow down and say thank you God what can I do today for my country, for Serbia. (sic)”
