In the last World Preliminary Tournament, the national football team lost 0-1 to Japan, although the score is not ugly, but the national football team is suppressed by Japan and played very passively.

3. The number of players who stay in foreign countries
Only Wu Lei plays for the Spaniard in the 23-man roster of the national football team, and the Spaniard is the weakest team in La Liga, and Wu Lei has become a marginal figure for the Spaniards. There are a total of 16 foreign players in the 23-man roster of the Japanese national football team, most of whom play for Bundesliga teams.
4. Player value
The total value of the 23 members of the national football team is only 14.7 million euros, and the highest value is Wu Lei, reaching 2.5 million euros.

The only victory won by the national football team was Against Vietnam, who was at the bottom of the group.
Compared with the above 6 aspects, the national football team is lagging behind Japan in an all-round way, so the second battle between the national football team and the Japanese team will be a huge challenge, basically there is no possibility of defeating the opponent, and once the national football team loses to Japan, it will completely lose the possibility of qualifying. However, I still hope that the national football team can go all out and create a miracle!
