After beating Australia, Japan officially locked up the top two places in the group stage, qualifying for the World Cup finals for the seventh time in history, and it was a consecutive promotion, during which there was no absence. Such achievements have not only made the national football team, Vietnam, Oman and other teams cast envious eyes, but the Japanese team has become a benchmark for East Asian football and even the whole Asian football.
As the biggest contributor to leading the team to the World Cup, head coach Mori Hoichi is naturally happy and happy. It should be known that at the beginning of the round of 12, Morihoichi led the team to lose to Oman and Saudi Arabia, which made the Japanese Football Association in an uproar, and Morihoichi was also on the verge of leaving class. Fortunately, with a wave of six consecutive wins, Mori Hoichi not only led the team to advance to the World Cup, but also retained the hard-won coaching position, and did not end up with the same fate as Li Tie. It is precisely because of this that Mori Hoichi is a little fluttery, some arrogant posture.
At 4 p.m. Beijing time on March 26, the Japanese team held its first press conference after qualifying for the World Cup in Qatar. At the meeting, the overjoyed Hoichi Mori said in front of many media that the goal of the Japanese team in this World Cup is to refresh the best result in history, that is, to break into the top 8, and even go further. He said that the Japanese team can get to this day, inseparable from the support of everyone, after six consecutive wins, the Japanese team is fully capable of beating any team, so the quarterfinals are the bottom line of the Japanese team.
I have to say that Mori Hoichi is really not surprising and deadly. You know, the best result of the first six World Cups japan team is only the round of 16, and there are 3 group stages that have not been able to complete the qualification, not to mention that the current Japanese team is not the strongest Japanese men's football team in history, otherwise it is impossible to lose to a team like Oman. But Moriboichi has always set his sights on at least the quarterfinals, enough to see that he is a bit drifty, and after a wave of six consecutive wins, he is a bit oblivious.
It is true that the Japanese team is not a strong Asian team, with such a good player as Takumi Minano, Junya Ito, and Kenyo Fuan, but Asian football does not belong to a very strong continent in the world, and if you take out a Team from Europe or South America, I am afraid that you can hang the Asian team, not to mention that Mori Hoichi itself is the biggest weakness of the Japanese team, and being able to break through from the top 12 in a thrilling way does not prove how strong the Japanese team is, but under the background of other teams, the Blue Warriors have a good advantage.
Therefore, national football fans, who have always been willing to bow to the wind, have also expressed dissatisfaction with Japan's goal of the quarterfinals of the World Cup. Some fans left a message: "This is a dream, the Chinese team has been doing." Another person said: "Anyone can talk, the key is to do it or not to do it." More fans hit the nail on the head: "At the beginning, Honda Keiyou's golden generation also said that they wanted to enter the final four (the result was that the group did not qualify). "It seems that most of the fans are dissatisfied with the strength of the Japanese team in the quarterfinals of the World Cup, and perhaps this time, the cowhide of Mori Baoichi and the Japanese men's football team is indeed too big, and it is easy to be punched in the face.
