2-0, throw off the national football team 13 points! The 2nd in Asia won again, and 3 more points = qualifying for the World Cup

After the eighth round of the Asian Round of 12 was completed, the points situation in Group B also changed. Among them, the Japanese team, which played a bumpy start, once again defeated the Saudi team, the first place in the group, 2-0, and after they won the game, the points also reached 18 points, leaving the national football team with as many as 13 points. It can be said that the Japanese team's promotion to the World Cup is already a matter of nine out of ten, and if they can get 3 points in the next round of the game, they can advance to the World Cup one round in advance.

As a strong team in Asian football, the performance of the Japanese team in this World Preliminary Tournament can be described as a low start and a high score, and they have repeatedly broken out of the cold in the opening stage, and the coach Mori Hoichi was angrily shouted down by japanese fans. However, as the Japanese team began to enter the rhythm of the game, their record began to soar. In this match against Saudi Arabia, the Japanese team once again showed their flexible tactics.

In this game, the tactics adopted by Mori Baoichi are completely different from the game that defeated the national football team, and they gave up attack at home and mainly defended and counterattacked. As a result, after giving up most of the possession, the Japanese team played well. In the 32nd minute of the first half of the match, Liverpool star Takumi Minamino scored deftly to help Japan score first.

In the second half, Jun Ito also broke out again, helping Japan score the second goal to lock the score at 2-0! In the following game, the Japanese team used a strong defense to make the Saudi team lose no gains. In this game, the Japanese team proved that it is still a strong team in Asia, not only to attack, but also to defend.

After the Japanese team won this match, their promotion to the World Cup can be described as a bright light. For now, they can guarantee at least one play-off spot. If they can beat Australia in the next round, then they will advance to the World Cup one round earlier.
