Part 1: An interview with Hoichi Mori at the airport
In the arrivals hall of Tokyo's Narita Airport, Mori Hoichi had just finished his trip to Europe and dragged his tired body out of customs. There was a hint of weariness on his face, but there was firmness and determination in his eyes. In the face of the swarm of reporters, he stopped and accepted the interview with a smile.
"It's really fateful that we will always be together." Moriyasu said with a smile, with a hint of helplessness and anticipation in his tone. He has just learned that the Japanese team will play against the Chinese team in the first match of the World Preliminary Tournament, which is undoubtedly a tough battle.
'We went into a very tough group, but I think it will be the same even if we get to Group A or Group B. He continued, his eyes flashing with thought and preparation for the future game.
In particular, Mori mentioned that the Chinese players are better prepared for the same distance, jet lag and climatic conditions, while most of the Japanese players have made the long journey from Europe and have to adapt to different climates. This undoubtedly adds to the difficulty of the game.
'From a form point of view, our players need to be jet-lagged and it's going to be a very tough game. "Fighting through all kinds of difficult adjustments, we have to have the determination to win the game. ”
Every word from Mori reveals the importance he attaches to this game and the expectations he expects from his players. He knows that he will only be able to win this tough game if he is more than 100 per cent in form.
Part 2: Jet lag and athletic performance
Jet lag, a seemingly simple physiological phenomenon, has a profound impact on athletes' performance. Scientific studies have shown that jet lag can disrupt the body's biological clock, leading to decreased sleep quality, slower reaction times, and decreased physical strength. This is undoubtedly a huge challenge for athletes who need to perform at their best in high-intensity competitions.
Most of Japan's players play in European leagues, and they will have to make the long journey back to Asia from Europe to face the double test of jet lag and weather. Imagine a player who has just finished a fierce match in Europe and immediately boarded a plane for more than a dozen hours, arriving in Japan and adjusting to a completely different time zone and climate. In this case, their physical and mental state needs to be adjusted quickly.
Moriyasu is well aware of this, mentioning in the interview: "Our players need to go down jet lag and it's going to be a very tough game. His words reveal his concern and understanding for the players. In order to help the players better adapt to the jet lag, the coaching staff has developed a detailed adjustment plan, including scientific sleep arrangement, diet regulation and proper training.
Not only that, but the players are also actively cooperating and doing their best to adjust their form. For example, striker Isamu Osako also shared photos of him stretching and meditating on the plane on social media, showing how serious he is and preparing for the competition.
However, the challenges posed by jet lag are not only physical, but also psychological. Players need to adjust their mentality in a short period of time, overcome fatigue and discomfort and go into the game in the best possible condition. This psychological adjustment is just as important, and sometimes even more critical than the physical adjustment.
Through scientific adjustments and the hard work of the players, the Japanese team hopes to play well in this difficult game, overcome the adverse effects of jet lag and strive for victory. Hoichi Mori and his team know that they will only be able to emerge victorious in this game if they put in more than 100% of their form.
Part 3: Comparison and Psychological Preparation of Chinese and Japanese Football
The matchup between the Chinese and Japanese football teams has always attracted much attention, not only because of the competition between the two countries in sports, but also because of the differences in the tactical styles and player strength of the two teams. Historical data shows that the Japanese team has a certain advantage in the past games, but the Chinese team has also been improving in recent years, and its strength should not be underestimated.
In terms of tactical style, the Japanese team is known for their fast, flexible passing and teamwork. Their players are highly skilled and well-connected, and are often able to display fluid attacking style during the game. The Chinese team, on the other hand, paid more attention to physical confrontation and defensive counterattacks, and the players showed strong physical fitness and fighting spirit on the field.
In this upcoming World Preliminary Tournament, the tactical duel between the two sides will be the focus of the game. Mori knew that the Chinese team could be better prepared with the same travel distance, jet lag and climatic conditions, which made the Japanese team need to be more cautious and flexible in their tactical arrangements. "We had to give more than 100 per cent at that point or it would be very difficult in the first game," he said in the interview. ”
In addition to tactical preparation, psychological adjustment is equally important. The "arrangement of fate" mentioned by Moriyasu is not only an emotion, but also a deep understanding of the team's psychological state. Facing strong opponents and unfavorable conditions, the Japanese team needs to be mentally prepared and calm and confident.
In order to help the players adjust their mentality, the coaching staff arranged a series of psychological counselling and team-building activities. For example, they do group meditation and relaxation exercises after training to help players relieve stress and focus. In addition, the coaching staff will also have one-on-one conversations to understand the psychological state of each player and provide personalized support and advice.
The players are also actively adjusting their mentality, showing strong determination and fighting spirit. For example, the core of the midfield, Hang Endo, said in an interview: "No matter what difficulties we face, we will go all out and try to win." His words were full of confidence and courage and inspired the whole team.
Through both tactical and psychological preparation, the Japanese team hopes to be able to perform well in this difficult game, overcome various adverse factors, and strive for victory. Hoichi Mori and his team know that they will only be able to emerge victorious in this game if they put in more than 100% of their form.
