#2022 World Cup# When the whole world was optimistic about Japan, they lost 0-1 to Costa Rica. It's just that Costa Rica is happy early, Japan's loss is likely to be Moriho's plan, Spain is panicking!
Japan are drawn in Group E at the World Cup in Qatar, with Costa Rica, Germany and Spain in the same group. In the eyes of the outside world, the two teams that qualified from Group E must be Germany and Spain, two teams that have won the World Cup. But Japan is not a team that can be underestimated by opponents, after all, the president of the Japan Football Association has shouted the goal of winning the championship. In today's football, no team dares to say that it will win against Japan.
In the first game, Japan conceded only one goal after being crushed in the first half. In the second half, Morihoichi used a five-striker tactic and launched a crazy counterattack, and Germany, which had already underestimated the enemy, was at a loss for a while, and was scored 2 goals by Japan, and was reversed 1-2. Japan, with three points, are optimistic to qualify from Group E.
In the second match, Japan's opponent was Costa Rica, recognized as the weakest opponent in the group. Costa Rica was also bloodied by Spain with seven goals in the opening match, and did not score a single goal. Before the match, fans around the world thought Japan would get a win against Costa Rica. However, when the Japanese team was playing, they did not dare to attack, as if they did not want to win single-mindedly. Japan is a bit different from the last time they played Germany, there were a lot of mistakes in cooperation between the players, coupled with the determination to win was not decisive, and they did not score as quickly as the fans imagined.
Instead, Costa Rica seized the opportunity in the 81st minute of the second half and Fuller scored the only goal of the game. After winning Japan, Costa Rica also has three points in its hands and also has the possibility of qualifying. If Spain win Germany and Japan, Costa Rica can qualify with Spain with four points if they win Germany and Japan and Costa Rica hold on to another draw in the final round.
Before the match against Costa Rica, many people thought that Japan would only have to win the match to advance. Everyone thinks so, but Japan's coach Morihoichi doesn't think so, because Japan, which holds 6 points, may also be teamed up by Germany and Spain. The editor will analyze it for everyone, and after reading it, you will have a sudden understanding.
Each group has two qualifying spots, first looking at points, then goal difference, and finally win-loss. Even if Japan wins Costa Rica and holds 6 points, it will not dare to qualify. If Spain loses to Germany in this round and beats Japan in the final round, Spain also have 6 points. Germany won against Spain and Costa Rica in the final round, with Germany also having six points. Spain already have a seven-goal difference advantage in their hands, and if Japan wants to compete with Germany in attacking firepower, it is the younger brother and the big brother. Then Japan, with 6 points, will still be worse than Germany and Spain in terms of goal difference.
So how do you prevent being made inning? That was to release water against Costa Rica, which was both Mori's trick to allow the Japanese to knock Spain in the final round and prevent Spain and Germany from joining forces. Why? Later in the match between Spain and Germany, Spain must have known after seeing Japan lose to Costa Rica that Japan would fight for three points in the final round. Although Spain knows that its strength is above Japan, it does not dare to guarantee that it will be able to win, and Germany is a lesson in the past.
In this way, Spain panicked, where it dared to release Germany, but would strive to win Germany and qualify from the group in advance. If Germany loses and does not score a point in two games, the last game will definitely take Costa Rica. Japan's last game against Spain, as long as you stick to it and get a point, you can qualify steadily. I have to say that Morihoichi's plan to kill two birds with one stone is really too high, and the successful breakthrough has greatly increased Japan's hopes of qualifying.
