Japanese hockey team leaves dressing room ‘sparkling clean’ after match
A video posted by Hockey India on Monday showed a member of the Japanese contingent clearing trash in a plastic bag after the Malaysia defeat.
 
 
Japanese have been known for such gestures despite losing or winning matches.
 
At the FIFA World Cup in Qatar last year, the Japanese football team and their fans had gone viral for cleaning up after themselves. The Japanese football team had also left a thank you note for the organisers along with a few origami cranes. Japan is widely known for being one of the cleanest countries in the world. At the FIFA World Cup, videos had shown Japanese fans staying behind after their team’s victory over Germany to help cleaning crews tidy up the Khalifa International Stadium.
Netizens have reacted to this by saying that world must learn from them
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
On the pitch, though, Malaysia progressed to the semi-finals with goals from Najmi Jazlan, Ashran Hamsani and Shello Silverius. For Japan, Niwan Takuma scored the solitary goal as a consolation.
