The penalty technique, psychological quality and experience of the game are not as good as the "overtime king" Croatia, and the defeat in the quarterfinals of the World Cup again did not affect the results of the Japanese team's trip to Qatar, they know that "Spanish control" and "Italy flexibly use the "counter-attack" two game settings, the performance of the two offensive lines has allowed them to beat two world champions in a row. The goal of the future is to reach the top, which will take generations. Strive hard and every step forward is inspiring. Good luck with the Blue Warriors all the way. ”
