Japan defeated Germany in the first round, Costa Rica defeated Spain by 7 goals; Just looking at the score, everyone's first reaction is probably that the strength of the two teams is relatively different. But in fact, Costa Rica's level is definitely not as bad as the game against Spain, so before the game I thought that Japan would not win, but I really did not expect Japan to lose.
Tian Ji horse racing, first pretend to be dead while the other party relaxes his vigilance and then give a critical attack... Morihoichi played a successful match in Germany, but the same strategy, copy and paste without any adjustments, Morihoichi is still the conservative and stubborn Morihoichi, but how can there be so many fools?
In fact, in the second half of the game against Germany, the Japanese team proved that they are fully capable of playing fast-paced offensive football when playing against strong teams. Costa Rica played Spain, on the other hand, completely crushed by the opponent's continuous fast-paced attacking football.
If the Japanese had studied the footage of Costa Rica's match against Spain, they would have come up with fast-paced passing (which they definitely do), but Morihoichi not only started conservatively, but Japan also played a very conservative first half, with both sides playing an extremely slow first half.
In the second half, the Japanese began to deploy troops, and after speeding up their attacks, they did dominate the game. But the problem was that in the first half, although the Japanese team pressed Costa Rica, could not organize an effective attack; But their offense is also slow, and it can even be said that this is the slowest pace of the first half of this World Cup; Such a slow pace hardly caused Costa Rica to consume, so in the second half, when the Japanese team picked up speed and turned on the charge mode, Costa Rica had enough physical strength to deal with it.
When it is not easy to suddenly speed up, if you want to win at this time, you need more patience; But it was clear that the Japanese team did not take Costa Rica seriously, and they wanted to eat their opponents in one bite, so they rushed vigorously. Especially when they had a scoring opportunity at one point, they rushed more and more; It seems that Costa Rica did not pose a threat throughout the game, but they waited for a low-level mistake in the Japanese backfield and stole a chicken to score one; On the defensive end, on the other hand, although Costa Rica had to bear a lot of pressure, their defenders did not make low-level mistakes, and with a permanent stable wall behind them, they held the victory.
Morihoichi, who won the championship with Sanfrecce Hiroshima, relied on the conservative style of playing the opposite in Japanese football; In the round of 12, he had the best card in Asia, but Morihoichi still showed his conservative stubbornness again and again, and also obviously underestimated the opponent in some matches, so that he became the world-recognized biggest shortcoming of the Japanese team.
I thought that Morihoichi, who won Germany, got the hang of it, but the reality is cruel, he is still the conservative, stubborn, and tenacious Morihoichi we are familiar with.
Originally, after winning Germany, the prospects for qualifying were bright; Well, after playing Costa Rica to underestimate the enemy and pay a heavy price for conservatism, the situation in this group is complicated, and the Japanese team will play with Spain in the next game. Just fight to pass control, fight to the feet, Japan to fight Spain, just like Li Ghost beats Li Kui.
After the match against Costa Rica, words such as "incompetence" and "war criminal" appeared in the evaluation of Mori Hoichi on the Japanese Internet; There are also Japanese netizens "suggesting" that Moriho can't get out of the line, so go back to the country to cut his belly to apologize!
Can Morihoichi still redeem himself by playing in Spain?
