Sota Hirayama is waiting to hear if he is going to make the Japan squad for South Africa.
The FC Tokyo striker offers Japan an option of height in attack and is hoping that his skills on the floor as well as his 190cm frame could tempt coach Takeshi Okada to name him on May 11.
Hirayama made his international debut in January this year, scoring a hat-trick in a 3-2 win in Yemen.
"I really want to go to the World Cup, but I'm not taking anything for granted," Hirayama told The Japan Times.
"If I don't get picked I'm sure I'll be disappointed and it will hurt, but I can still play football and there is always another World Cup in four years. I also have ambitions that I want to fulfill with my club, and if I don't make it, I will just have to work harder.
"But my height is an advantage. Other teams might be expecting the Japanese players all to be short, so it's in my favor that I'm tall."
Hirayama is not an automatic pick and has missed the squads for Japan’s last two games. He intends to keep scoring for FC Tokyo and see what happens.
"Goals are the best medicine for a striker," he said. "No matter what shape you're in, if you score it gives you confidence. If you have confidence, you play in a positive frame of mind. That's a very important thing."
