This year's round of 12 is a roller coaster for the Japanese team, after the first home game 0-1 upset loss to Oman, the second game 1-0 victory over China, seems to be back to the victory track, did not expect the 3rd battle, they lost 0-1 to Saudi Arabia, coach Mori Hoichi also suffered a crisis from class. Fortunately, after that, the Japanese team adjusted its state in time, won 9 points in a wave of 3 consecutive wins, and finally came to the top and overtook Australia to the second place in the standings. Next, they have to hit the round of 12 with four consecutive wins.
At present, in the Group A table, Japan is ranked second in the group with 12 points, four points behind saudi Arabia, the top of the group, but because it is only one point ahead of the third place Australia, they must win against the national football team, although its two main centre-backs are also absent from this game.
Despite the unstable defense, the Japanese team has ushered in a positive in the midfield, that is, the Japanese Messi Jiu Health Care Ying returned from injury. Kubo was absent due to injury in the Round of 12 in October and November last year, and his return was his first return four months later. Speaking about the next game, Kubo said: You must win the next two games. This also means that he wants to help the team double the national football team.
Thanks to the 1-0 win in the first leg, the morale of the Japanese team was high in this battle, and coupled with the home battle, they were full of confidence. However, the Japanese media Tokyo Sports Network poured a basin of "cold water" on the national football team at an inopportune time, saying: At present, the Chinese team only has 2 naturalized players available to Jiang Guangtai and Alain, which is a good thing for the Japanese team, but the reduction of naturalized players is likely to return the Chinese team to the "starting point" - kung fu football.
The media said that the Chinese team has always been known for rough fouls, and the Japanese team is very uncomfortable with this. Moreover, as early as 3 years ago, at the East Asian Cup, Jiang Zhipeng kicked the back of the head of the Japanese team defender Hashioka Daiki, which has so far scared the Japanese team.
It is also true that if you want to deal with the technical football of the Japanese team, the Chinese team must make reasonable use of its physical advantages, and fight for every ball through tough confrontation and reasonable physical collision, just like Luo Guofu did in the round of 12. However, will Luo Guofu get a chance to play in this game and make the Japanese team afraid again?
