In the Asian Cup, Japan's 3:0 clean and sharp so to get Iran, and fulfilled the sentence "A group of Japanese people with collective consciousness is really difficult to conquer."
Why? Perhaps we can find a clue in the physical education of Japanese schools.
Physical education in Japanese schools
The Japan Modern Games originated in the 1870s and were introduced to the local Naval University in Japan by British instructors.
The Minister of Education of Japan keenly found that sports are conducive to the implementation of national policies such as "national prestige and development", "rich countries and strong soldiers", and "health improvement", so he issued a directive instructing primary and secondary schools throughout the country to hold sports meetings regularly. The school thus became the birthplace of modern sports in Japan.
Sports training in Japanese schools has a priority goal, focusing on the cultivation of a sense of collective honor and the individual will and character of the individual students. So the unique sport of "stick down" entered the campus.
The art of "group fighting"
The Japanese baseball game, much like the "group fight", the gameplay is very simple, the two teams are divided into offensive and defensive personnel, while trying to pull down the opposing defensive wooden pillar within 2 minutes, the game allows punches, kicks, hugs, and throws, encouraging "unscrupulous means".
Japan's most famous baseball tournament is at Yokosuka City Defense University, which trains Officers of the Self-Defense Forces. In one game, a 300-man "big scuffle" was staged.
Of course, there have been accidents in baseball competitions.
In September 1984, during the baseball kicking competition of the Ohori Junior High School Games affiliated to Fukuoka University in Japan, a student was seriously injured in the abdomen during the "group fight". The student's parents took Fukuoka University to court and demanded a lot of financial compensation. However, the court rejected the students' parents' claims, and the baseball competition was still held on campus.
The stick-down game, more like a rite of passage of war, can make children aware of the cruelty of survival and the importance of teamwork. The baseball game has a large number of people, and on the surface it seems to be just a big scuffle and a "big group fight", but in fact, it contains a detailed strategic deployment, and if you want to win, you must bring everyone together, and if necessary, you must make a sacrifice for the collective.
