It is not surprising that the Japanese team broke away from Asia and entered Europe, and defeated Germany
The opponent leads on penalties, and after scoring two goals in a row, the drama is similar, but the connotation is different. If Saudi Arabia's overturn of Argentina is a big upset, then Japan's reversal of Germany is a manifestation of strength and resilience. Since winning the Asian Cup for the first time in 1992, Nippon Football has been on the right track, persistently adhering to the technical route, and the professional league campus football is in full swing, with first-class stars such as Hideju Nakata, Toshio Nakamura, Keisuke Tsukuda and Shinji Kagawa.
At the World Cup four years ago, Japan advanced to the round of 16 after finishing second in their group, only to lose to Belgium in the final minute and just one step away from the quarter-finals. In the World Cup, 20 of the 26 players in the team played in the mainstream European leagues, and it seems unexpected to beat the German team in terms of strength.
Caught in the group of death, facing world-class powerhouses Germany and Spain back and forth, the victory has undoubtedly taken the lead.
