In the already concluded World Preliminary Round of 12, the Chinese men's football team announced that it was out of the World Cup, and the Japanese men's football team, which claimed to be the first team in Asia, suffered losses twice, and the overall strength of the opponent left a deep impression on us.
In particular, Junya Ito, who plays as a right winger, frequently attacks from the right side with his unusually fast speed, creating considerable defensive problems for the national football team, and can be called the most outstanding player in the two-legged competition between China and Japan.
As a powerful foreign player in Japanese football, Junya Ito's attack is not only unstoppable by the national football team, but even the Belgian first division team is difficult to overcome.
In the 33rd round of the 21-22 season on April 4, Junya Ito's local powerhouse Genk sat at home to meet Auburn, and he successfully scored 1 goal, 1 assist and 1 point in a single game, helping the team to achieve a 5-0 victory!
In the 10th minute of the match, Jun Ito, who started as the team's right winger, also burst into the box with the ball, and the opponent had to put it down, and the referee decisively blew the penalty. In the 11th minute, the team's 27-year-old Nigerian striker Onuachu successfully stepped forward to score a penalty.
In the 46th minute of the second half, there was a chaotic battle in front of Auburn's goal, Anden received the ball and sent a cross, and Jun Ito, who was wearing the Number 7 shirt, also managed to kick the ball into the net with ease.
In the 68th minute of the game, Jun Ito, who was on the right side of the team, also staged his best play, breaking through quickly from the right wing, throwing off the opponent's defense with a change of direction, and then kicking a right-footed cross, and teammate Hennen scored the ball.
At the end of the match, Jun Ito personally contributed 1 goal, 1 assist and 1 point to help Genk win 5-0 at home to Auburn. The Belgian powerhouse won 14 wins, drew 13 and lost 13 in 33 rounds, ranking 8th in the competition with 48 points.
So far this season, Jun Ito has also played for Genk in 31 of his 33 matches, scoring seven goals and 14 assists. Since his loan from Kashiwa In January 2019, he has been in the main position for more than three years, with a personal value of 7.5 million euros, ranking 6th among Japanese players.
Jun Ito is also a "speed maniac", his running speed is comparable to that of a track and field athlete, reaching 5.8 seconds in 50 meters, about 11 seconds in 100 meters, and even won a silver medal in the 4×100 meters relay race in Yokosuka City.
