After qualifying for the Round of 32 of the World Cup, Japan coach Hoichi Mori did not relax and celebrate. Instead, it was the first time to go to Europe to investigate and learn the advanced concepts of European football. Among them, he also watched the second leg of the Europa League match between Barca and Eintracht Frankfurt. Today, Moriho also talked about some of his views on the European Tour. He stressed that no matter who the opponent of the Japanese team is, our goal will not change, that is, to impact the World Cup quarterfinals. In addition, Mori Baoichi also bluntly said that Frankfurt's elimination of Barca's match allowed him to find some inspiration to beat Spain.
Ignoring Spain? MoriHoichi: Will play against Spain
In an interview, Mori said that in a sense, Eintracht Frankfurt represents Germany and Barca represents Spain. The only way Frankfurt can win is to attack. Even against giants like Barcelona, they are not afraid of their opponents. This game gave me a lot of inspiration and insight. It is worth reminding that in this match, Japan international Daichi Kamada performed well and became the hero of Frankfurt's promotion. Thus, Mori is confident that if we follow Eintracht Frankfurt's tactics, it is not impossible to defeat Spain.
There are a number of outstanding internationals in the Japanese team, including Daichi Kamada, Takumi Minamino of Liverpool, real Madrid loan boy Hisagi Eiei, etc., who have excellent performances in their respective clubs. From the perspective of tactical play, the Japanese team and the Spanish team are quite similar, both are based on pass control, although the Japanese team ranks far less than Spain, but thinking of their last World Cup and Belgium match, Spain still can not despise the opponent.
Impact the World Cup Round of 8 and will play a mock match with 3 giants
Mori said that Japan's goal is to impact the Top 8 of the World Cup, and whether they can beat Spain is the key to their promotion. In order to prepare for this game and achieve the goal, the Japanese team did put it into action. Unlike some national teams, they just shout unrealistic slogans and do nothing.
It is understood that the Japanese Football Association has contacted as many as 5 strong teams for the World Cup simulation match, and the competition time is set for June. These include brazil, Paraguay and Chile. There are also ghana and Tunisia, two major teams. In these several simulated matches, MoriHoichi will send all the main players to play the game. As for the East Asian Cup in July, Moriho will give young players more opportunities.
