The 1/8 finals of the Asian Cup are in full swing, and many wonderful duels have been staged. The match between the Japanese men's football team and the Bahrain men's football team will be played at 7:30 p.m. on January 31. The Japanese team, which unexpectedly qualified as the second in the group, can save the glory of their biggest favorites depends on further performance. After all, in the group stage, the performance of the Japanese team was indeed unsatisfactory.
Speaking at the pre-match press conference, Mori said that the knockout match with Bahrain is about to be contested, and the opponent has a lot of personality and ability, they are well organized on the field, serious implementation of tactics, and can also break through tight defenses. The forward line is strong and the counter-attack threat is great. The difficulty of the game between the Japanese team and them can be imagined.
The reporter inevitably mentioned the defensive problem of the Japanese team conceding goals in 3 games in the group stage, and conceded a total of 5 goals. In response, Hoichi Mori said, "We have to rethink and improve the technology." But I'm not going to be upset about the game, we have to be confident about it. Fans have ridiculed that the Japanese team's defense, especially the goal line, is indeed poor. Some people believe that due to the team's poor defense, the Japanese team did not give full play to its true strength and did not play the attitude that the biggest favorite to win the championship should have.
There was also a question from reporters about whether the Japanese team avoided the South Korean team in advance, and both sides were happy about it. Mori admitted frankly that there is no such statement. The teams that enter the knockout round are all strong teams, and they all stand out from the group, and whoever meets them is a tough battle. The number one priority at the moment is how to get the best out of the players, the game is going to be very intense.
Mori is indeed both humble and confident, and national football fans feel terrible about it, and even more envious. When did the national football team also have such a strong local coach. Don't look at the stumbling of the Japanese team in the group stage, after all, they are the favorites to win the championship, and in the knockout stage, Mori Boichi is bound to show his housekeeping skills and pass all the way.
