In an interview with the Japanese media "football-zone", Japanese coach Mori Hoichi said: The World Cup group is very good, in the same group as Spain and Germany, the goal is still the quarterfinals, which is consistent with the Japanese team's plan to rush to the world and conquer world-class teams.
In the World Cup group, Japan and Spain, Germany and the two former World Cup champion teams were divided into Group E, in the eyes of the outside world, the Japanese team is hopeless. Even, Japan's domestic media "Nikkan Sports" said that in order to break through from the group, the Japanese team is facing a big wall.
Germany is a four-time World Cup winner, and at present, under Frick, Neuer, Havertz, Werner, Sane, Rudiger, Müller, Draxler are star-studded, such a lineup is undoubtedly unattainable by the Japanese team, even Japan can arrange a set of all-european starts, but it is not on the same level as the German team.
Spain is the 2010 South African World Cup champion, after that, Spain passing football peak, once fell into the downturn, and now, under the leadership of Enrique, the Spanish team has completed the replacement, Ferran Torres, Pedri, Garvey and other post-00s new stars have emerged, plus the Mesozoic De Thomas, Koke, Llorente and other players, as well as veteran Morata, Azpilicueta one after the other, the combination of old and young, the age structure is perfect, the Matador Legion has risen again! Last year, Spain also managed to reach the final of the European League.
Indeed, as Japanese coach Mori Hoichi said, Spain and Germany are touchstones, and the Japanese team must defeat such an opponent if it wants to conquer the world's strongest team, but it is a bit against the heart to say that the grouping is very good, and it is even more shameful to mention the Goal of the Quarterfinals of the World Cup now!
