It seems that the 16-strong battle between Japan and South Korea is inevitable
Because the South Korean team is third in this group, at least 3 points, except for China, the third group has been eliminated, and Japan's group of third Indonesia only has 3 points, and the goal difference is only -3, the Bahrain team is currently three points, the goal difference is minus one, as long as you don't lose two goals to Jordan, you can also qualify, of course, Bahrain and Jordan are most likely to draw, because Jordan does not want to take the first place in the group to face Japan, and South Korea has to win in the face of Malaysia, because Malaysia is too weak, and deliberately not winning will definitely cause criticism from the outside world, and South Korean public opinion cannot accept it, so that South Korea will definitely be framed to win the first place in the group, so that the battle between Japan and South Korea in the round of 16 cannot be avoided。
However, I am more optimistic about the Korean team for three reasons
1 This time, the defenders and goalkeepers of the Japanese team were so poor that they conceded goals in all three games. The anti-header is simply accurate, and the opponent's header is accurate. There is no shortage of headers in the South Korean team, and it will be difficult for the Japanese team to break the game.
2 Kubo Jianying is too bad, originally Japan had Kubo Jianying, South Korea had Li Gangren, but Li Gangren was in hot form, Kubo Jianying was lost, and the performance of the two sides was not at the same level.
3. South Korea has a world-class star like Son Heung-min who can change the tide of the game.
Despite Japan's overall dominance, this Asian Cup is overly supportive, with a new defensive combination and a young goalkeeper, and arrogance comes at a price at all times.
