According to the World Preliminary Tournament schedule, the national football team will play against the 2nd Japan team in Asia on January 27, the latter currently has 12 points, ranking second in Group B, only 1 point ahead of australia in the third place, because the fourth place Oman only has 7 points, so, in addition to the leader Saudi Arabia basically determined a World Cup seat, another direct promotion quota is basically generated between Japan and Australia, based on this, the 7th round of the match with the national football team, the Japanese team will certainly try their best to win, because the draw may make itself passive and fall into the third position.
Therefore, similar to the national football team, the Japanese team is also ready to start the preparation journey of the top 12 at this stage, and it is also recruiting new people to enter the national team in the team, but unlike the national football team, the Japanese team boldly uses small players. Recently, the Japanese Football Association officials announced the recruitment of 3 post-00 players, and the national football team after the 00 Zhu Chenjie is different, the above three new Japan internationals are student players, and include 1 high school player, namely the university goalkeeper Kitagawa Kong, Meiji University winger Sato Keiyun and Shangzhi High School's back player Enri Chase.
Chase can enter the Japanese national team or let the outside world more surprised, you know, the winger is still 17 years old, he is an American and Japanese mixed race player, height 1 meter 87, don't look young, Chase has previously had a national brand experience, accumulated the Japanese U23 national team appearance record, and this player has attracted the attention of European scouts, Ajax, Stuttgart and other well-known European teams have thrown out a rugby branch, enough to see the potential of this player, the future is also expected to enter the development of the five major leagues.
In addition to the above three people, Kitagawa's selection may be related to the injury of Shonan Marine's goalkeeper Tani Kosei, for the three post-00 players, the experience of the national team is very rare, although it may be more sparring, but it is not ruled out to play well and stay for a long time, especially the 17-year-old high school student Chase is still given high hopes by local fans.
Although the task of the World Preliminary Tournament is arduous, Japan has raised the training of young players to the level of the national team, which has also given the national football team a wake-up call, and the coaching team of Li Xiaopeng must also take a long-term view, cultivate their reserve forces in time, not only to select but also to give the opportunity to play appropriately, and it is expected to harvest satisfactory results in both prongs.
