In May 2014, Sakai was named in Japan's preliminary squad for the FIFA World Cup in Brazil.[199] Eventually, he made it to the final cut for the 23-man squad.[200] However, Sakai made no appearances in the FIFA World Cup, as he spent the rest of the campaign on the substitute bench.[201] After the tournament ended, Sakai made his first appearance for the Samurai Blue in three months on 5 September 2014, in a 2–0 loss against Uruguay.[202] However, he was absent from the AFC Asian Cup tournament under a new management of Javier Aguirre.[203]
After Uchida's absent in recent matches of 2015, Sakai began to make an impact to keep his first team place for Japan.[204] For the next two years, he established himself in the right–back position for the Samurai Blue and helped Japan qualify for the FIFA World Cup in Russia.[205] Sakai also assisted five goals along the way, including two separate matches against Thailand.[206]
In May 2018, Sakai was named in Japan's preliminary squad for the FIFA World Cup in Russia.[207] Eventually, he made it to the final cut of the 23 men squad.[208] Sakai made his World Cup debut against Colombia in Matchday 1 of the Group Stage, starting the whole game, in a 2–1 win.[209] He started the next two matches for Samurai Blue, and eventually qualifying for the knockout stage, due to receiving fewer yellow cards than Senegal, becoming the only Asian team to do so in the 2018 World Cup.[210] Sakai started in the match against Belgium in the round of 16 match, as Japan was knocked out of the tournament after losing 3–2.[211]
Following the end of the World Cup, Sakai didn’t receive another call–up from Japan until on 4 October 2018.[212] He set up a goal for Ritsu Doan, in a 4–3 win against Uruguay on 16 October 2018.[213] In a follow–up match against Venezuela, Sakai scored his first goal for the Samurai Blue, scoring the opening goal of the game, in a 1–1 draw.[214] In December 2018, he was one of 23 Japanese players selected for the 2019 AFC Asian Cup.[215] Sakai started in the right–back position and played two matches in the group stage to help Japan qualify for the knockout stage.[216] He helped the Samurai Blue reach all the way to the AFC Asian Cup final and kept three consecutive clean sheets along the way.[217] In the AFC Asian Cup final against Qatar, Sakai started the match in the right–back position, as Japan loss 3–1, finishing as runner–up in the process.[218] Reflecting on the AFC Asian Cup final, he said: "It's a bad memory, I don't want to think about this final. Fortunately, OM was there when I came back and we won. Psychologically, I'm fine. Physically, I'm fine. Last season, we played every three days, I got used to that rhythm, so there's no problem."[99]
Following the end of the AFC Asian Cup, Sakai didn’t make another appearance for Japan until on 5 June 2019 against Trinidad and Tobago in the Kirin Challenge Cup, where he started the match, in a 0–0 draw.[219] He then set up three goals in five matches for the Samurai Blue between 5 September 2019 and 14 November 2019.[220]
On 1 October 2020, Sakai was called up to the Japan’s squad for the first time in eleven months, resulting in him making an appearance against Cameroon, drawing 0–0.[221] In a match against Myanmar on 28 May 2021, he set up a goal for Yuya Osako, who scored five goals, in a 10–0.[222] Sakai then five starts for the Samurai Blue in the FIFA World Cup qualification between September 2021 and February 2022.[223]
Sakai had to wait until on 15 September 2022 when he was called up to the Japan’s squad for the Kirin Cup Soccer.[224] Sakai made his first appearance for the Samurai Blue in eight months, starting a match, in a 2–0 win against United States.[225] On 1 November 2022, he was named in the final squad for the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar.[226] On 24 November 2022, Sakai started in the right–back position against Germany and played 75 minutes before being substituted for Takumi Minamino, who played a role for the equalising goal, in eventual Japan's 2–1 win.[227] His next appearance for the Samurai Blue came against Croatia on 5 December 2022, coming on as a 75th-minute substitute, as the match eventually ended 1–1 with Japan crashing out after their defeat on penalties.[228] Following the end of the tournament, he has not been called up the Samurai Blue’s squad since.
Personal life
[edit]Growing up, Sakai comes from a studious family, as his father is a doctor.[4] One of his older brother is a researcher.[4] Sakai said his idol growing up was Ronaldo and watched his performance in the 2002 FIFA World Cup.[4] In 2014, Sakai revealed that he married a non-celebrity woman and described her as supportive of his football career.[229] It was announced in November 2014 that Sakai would become a father and his wife gave birth to a baby girl in January 2015.[230][54] On 27 September 2019, he announced that he’s a father for the second time.[231]
Sakai is a fan of Miso soup and once said: "Take only miso soup because miso soup is a necessity for me."[232] In addition to speaking Japanese, Sakai speaks Portuguese, German (having learned the language twice a week during his time at Hannover 96), French and English.[71][4][233][234][99] Since moving to Europe, Sakai spoke out the culture in Germany and France.[235][4][234]
In May 2018, Sakai published his first book titled "Resetting Power 'Nature and the Mind Becomes Stronger' 46 Concept".[236] In the wake of COVID-19 pandemic, he donated 20,000 euros to Phoceo Endowment Fund.[237] Along with Yūki Ōtsu, they created a website to help the general public.[238]
