Asia#2022 World Cup#Saudi Arabia and Japan also defeated world powerhouse Argentina and Germany 2-1 in their first matches, creating a light on Asia that impressed the outside world. However, in the second round of the group stage, the Asian teams were generally sluggish, especially the performance of Japan and South Korea. Japanese team coach Morihoichi faced the Costa Rican team, which was still under his own team, and continued to adopt the tactic of surprise strikes from behind, allowing the substitutes to start, Yukizo Kaoru Mikata and Junya Ito such good wingers, Haogang failed to use the blade in time, the tactics lacked flexibility, and as a result, the opponent ate the last game of the routine but lost Mai Cheng. South Korea is also head coach Paul Bento's tactical rigidity, no innovation in his playing style, advocating ground pass control, and focusing on the offensive level. Even in the selection of players and training required that the central midfielders must have passing ability, not defensive ability, the back is against Ghana, after trailing by two goals to tie the score, the South Korean team once again has a fatal defensive hole, Kim Jin-so and Kim Yeon-hwan's wing has become the opponent's main attacking channel.
To some extent, the "high and low go" of the Japanese and South Korean teams is not all a matter of the strength of the players. On the contrary, since the Japanese and Korean football circles have advocated "going out", young players have indeed had the strength to compete with some strong teams in Europe, the United States and Africa after being forged in European football. The Qatari team has taken another path of development, one is to naturalize the young age of players to enhance their sense of belonging, and the other is that the state has invested heavily in youth training, cultivated domestic young players, and built a stepwise national team construction system. Although the Qatari team has improved in recent years, it seems that the results of this Qatar World Cup are not ideal.
Chinese football has also attached great importance to "going out" in recent years, and the Chinese women's football team has gone out to stay in the ocean for a total of 12 people so far, which is unprecedented, but the Chinese men's football team wants to "go out", and with the existing level, it is impossible to find some European clubs willing to accept, and it may be difficult to obtain the desired effect by relying on a limited number of overall overseas training. I think Chinese football to achieve the dream of the World Cup, Asia, Japan, South Korea and Saudi Arabia these strong teams will become the Chinese men's football World Preliminary Tournament must cross the mountains, so Chinese football advocates encouraging young players to stay overseas can retreat to the second, whether to consider winning Japan, South Korea and Saudi Arabia, familiar with the football culture and playing style of these Asian countries, grow up in the storm, then it is likely that students like the Japanese team will give German teachers a vivid teaching lesson that reverses 2-1. Chinese football is in a downturn, recently former national football coach Li Tie is being investigated and punished "high-profile", the statue of Li Tie in Liaoning Wulihe Stadium has also been pulled down, while Li Xiaopeng, who is still the nominal head coach of the Chinese men's football team, is "low-key" at the call of the Chinese Football Association to participate in the strategic deployment meeting of several national teams. It is speculated that Li Xiaopeng is unlikely to succeed as the manager of the Chinese men's football team, but Li Xiaopeng will still accept the relevant work arranged by the Chinese Football Association.
