At 18:00 beijing time on January 27, 2022, the 7th round of the World Cup Asian Preliminary Round began, and the Chinese men's football team challenged the Japanese team away. In the opening 12th minute, the Chinese team scored the first goal through a penalty because of Wang Shenchao's handball in the penalty area. In the second half, Jun Ito also broke through the Chinese team's goal with a header. In the end, the score of 0-2 was maintained until the end, and this defeat also meant that the national football team was completely out of the game, and there was no chance of resurrection.
In terms of the starting lineup of the two teams, the Japanese team lined up in a 433 formation, and the total value of the starting lineup was 44.9 million euros, with an average age of 28.7 years. The national football team, on the other hand, discharged a 532 formation with a total starting value of 8.48 million euros and an average age of 29.3 years.
Recently, Japanese coach Mori Baoichi is currently in The domestic public opinion in Japan about the end of the class is not small, if this game can not be very good to beat the national football team, then he may really have to lose the position of coach.
After the start of the game, the Japanese team adopted a high-pressure offensive posture, and the national football team was under great pressure to defend. In the 5th minute, the Japanese team completed a shot near the bottom line on the right side of the penalty area, which was sent flying. In the 12th minute, Wang Shenchao was fouled for a handball in the penalty area in a defensive attack, and the referee awarded a penalty, and Da Qiangyong also scored a penalty. Conceding the ball early is very unfavorable for the national football team.
In the second half, Li Xiaopeng replaced Arthur Junmin and Zhang Yuning with Wei Shihao and Alan, but the Chinese team's pass did not improve at all, and Alain was also difficult to support. In the 57th minute, the Japanese team also wanted to continue to expand the score, replacing Ōki Yukiya and Nagatomo Yudo with Maeda Dairan and Yuta Nakayama, and it was clear that the intention of the Japanese coach Hoichi Mori was to change to the high point and try to break through the Chinese team's goal with a header.
As a result, Yuta Nakayama helped japan to achieve the attack just after being substituted. He hoisted a high ball into the Chinese team's penalty area from the right side, when The Chinese team's Jiang Guangtai and Zhu Chenjie did not see Junya Ito at all, and this guy also "quietly entered the village, don't shoot the gun". In the end, he broke through the goal of the Chinese team with a header. I have to admit that the Japanese coach Hoichi Mori's tactics are very appropriate.
It is worth mentioning that when the national football team has not yet conceded the second ball, it is also when Yuta Nakayama has just passed the ball, CCTV has played a 2-0 subtitle on the screen, I don't know what this situation is.
At this time, the Chinese team looked particularly embarrassed, with a full possession rate of just 25% and 0 shots. The Japanese side has 143 attacks, while the Chinese team has 44 attacks, and the Chinese team's steals and passes always seem to be half a beat slower with the Japanese team. How should we describe the Chinese team that wants to emulate Oman in defeating the Japanese national team 1-0 away from home?
It was not until the 69th minute that the national football team achieved its first shot through a free kick from Wei Shihao, who was quite threatening and slightly off target.
Later, because of a process of grabbing the ball, the Japanese player Takushi Minamino was just about to pick up the ball, but was kicked away by Wei Shihao, and then Takushi Minamino blew his nose at Wei Shihao and stared, and the referee quickly pulled the two apart to avoid this conflict.
For the rest of the game, the Japanese didn't compete for offense, believing that a 2-0 score was already ok. Judging from the psychological performance of the Japanese team, the Chinese team did not have any chance at all. In the end, the national football team lost to the Japanese team 0-2 in this key event.
The loss also set 3 records. First, since the 2003 East Asian Cup, the Japanese team has maintained an unbeaten record of 10 games, and it is still four consecutive wins; second, the Chinese team has suffered four rounds of no wins in this round of 12, completely losing the possibility of competing for third place.
