The fans’ actions have garnered international attention and positive recognition for their respectful behavior. However, Moriyasu cautioned against the practice if it potentially jeopardizes the employment of cleaning staff.

The coach’s comments acknowledge the positive image created by the fans while also highlighting a sensitivity towards local employment. This statement balances national pride with a consideration for the economic impact on the host country.
