Beijing time on March 29 at 18:35, the final round of the group stage of the World Preliminary Round of the Asian Top 12 began, the Japanese team played against the Vietnamese team at home, the strength gap between the two teams is very large, the Japanese team is the most luxurious team in Asia, has advanced a round with Saudi Arabia to qualify for the World Cup, vietnam is the bottom team in the top 12. Before the game, after the Vietnamese team arrived in Japan, there was a situation of new crown infection, and South Korean coach Park Heng-su tested positive for the new crown translation, so he had to quarantine for three days.
At the pre-match press conference, Park Heng-seok complained about the Japanese side's arrangements, arguing that the Japanese team lacked respect for the Vietnamese team because his translator was rejected for nucleic acid testing again, which affected the Vietnamese team's game deployment. Park Heng-su bluntly said that without an interpreter, he would not be able to communicate with the team members, suggesting that he would have to face the embarrassing situation of "0 communication command".
The magic is that the Vietnamese team up and down or in the game played a super unpopular game process, the opening stage of the game was not unexpected, quickly entered the japanese team's rhythm of the game, Kubo Kenying, Shibasaki, Haraguchi Genki, Mitsuru and other people led by the starting 11 people firmly controlled the situation on the field, and once formed a wild bombardment of the Vietnamese goal, the magic of the Vietnamese team is that it has repeatedly withstood Japan's strong attacks.
In the 19th minute of the game, Vietnam scored a away goal and seized the opportunity to attack the goal for the first time after the opening, Nguyen Gong Fung took the left corner and directly assisted Nguyen Thanh Binh to complete the header goal, and the Vietnam team successfully took a 1-0 lead, until the end of the first half, the Vietnamese team still maintained a 1-0 advantage.
Statistics in the first half, Vietnam only 1 shot on goal, equivalent to completing 100% of the critical hit against the Japanese team, 1 shot into a goal, the Japanese team has a possession rate of up to 68%, the number of shots on goal is as high as 12 times, dramatically, the Japanese team once again fell into the spell, only 1 shot is correct, this is their world preliminary round of the first three rounds of the very common game screen, can be described as leaderless, a group of popular stars are full of creativity, the lack of a super shooter.
Vietnam completed the first goal against Japan 1-0 in this World Preliminary Tournament, hitting the Chinese men's football team in the air, making the Chinese men's football team the only team that did not score against Japan in the Asian Round of 12 of the World Preliminary Tournament, which was very embarrassing. For this round of twelve, although the Vietnamese team defeated the Chinese men's football team 3-1, but they are still not willing, coach Park Hengxu believes that the team has lost 8 games in 9 games, only won the Chinese men's football team, the last round to go all out, the desire to win is extremely strong, now they are getting closer and closer to this goal, but the difficulty is still very large, the Japanese team is difficult to accept the loss at home, the second half will certainly launch a stronger offensive.
