At 01:00 a.m. Beijing time on October 8, just as the match between the Chinese men's football team and the Vietnamese team began, the East Asian neighbor Japan team will also start the third round of their round of the 12 rounds, against the Saudi team, which is quite strong in this group.
In the first two rounds of the game, the Japanese team did not play the style of the first team in Asia, they were unfavorable, 0:1 lost to Oman, encountered a black opening, broke a big cold goal; and then, in the second round of the match against the Chinese men's football team, it was only 1:0 to win a small victory. In this case, after the first two rounds of the battle, the Japanese team only accumulated 3 points, ranking 4th in Group B.
Rivals Saudi Arabia have been strong in the first two rounds, first beating Vietnam 3:1, and then 1:0 against Oman, winning two consecutive games, and currently accumulating 6 points, ranking second in Group B after Australia with a goal difference. The Japanese team will encounter the powerful Saudi team this time and will usher in the real test of this year's round of 12. There is no doubt that Japanese coach Mori Hoichi is bound to send the strongest starter 11 to the game without reservation.
In the goalkeeper position, it is not surprising that the main goalkeeper Shuichi Kwonda will continue to guard the Japanese team's goal; in the back line, the Japanese team should continue to sacrifice 4 defenders in the back line, and the four defenders who are expected to get the start will be Yuto Nagatomo, Maya Yoshida, Naotsu Ueda and Hiroki Sakai. Among them, Maya Yoshida and Naoto Ueda formed a double center-back combination, while Yuto Nagatomo and Hiroki Sakai played left and right wingbacks respectively.
In the midfield, it is not surprising that the main back of the midfield responsible for intercepting steals is naturally Shibasaki, and the two backs of the Japanese team that form the japanese team with him will be Endo Hang, who plays for Stuttgart in the Bundesliga. This is also the strongest double back configuration of the Japanese team. In front of the double back, MoriHoichi should sacrifice 3 attackers with super offensive ability to organize, it is expected that Haraguchi, Daichi Kamada and the forward line general Takumi Minamino who plays for Liverpool in the Premier League will be in danger and form a frontcourt attack group, while Takumi Minamino, as Japan's ace in the west, will naturally pick a beam to lead the Japanese team's frontcourt attack line.
On the forward line, it is no surprise that the Japanese team will continue to use a single arrow center to destroy the city in the front. It is expected that the heavy responsibility entrusted by Moriho will still be The Japanese striker Ōkiyo.
In the end, the 11 starters expected to start Japan against Saudi Arabia are: Shuichi Kwonda; Yuto Nagatomo, Maya Yoshida, Naotori Ueda, Hiroki Sakai; Shibasaki Andatake and Endo; Genki Haraguchi, Daichi Kamada, Takumi Minamino; and Ōki Yuki
