As the Chinese football team's first match against the Japanese team approaches, the eyes of the entire Asian football world are once again focused on this challenging matchup. The record that the national football team has not defeated Japan in an official match in history is a pain point in the hearts of hundreds of millions of Chinese fans.
However, the unpredictability of football is its greatest charm. In this context, whether the national football team can break the spell in the face of Japan, a strong opponent, has become the focus of national attention.
There is a clear contrast between Chinese and Japanese players in terms of physique: Chinese players are usually stronger and taller. This physical advantage should play a role in the confrontation with Japan, but the victory or defeat of a football match is not only determined by physical confrontation, but also by technique, tactical execution, mental state and on-court performance. Historically, despite their physical superiority, the national football team has often been at a disadvantage in competitions with Japan.
However, the public's support and expectations for the national football team have never waned. In the last World Preliminary Tournament, Japan unexpectedly lost 0-1 at home to Oman, and the result of this game is used as an important example of motivation for the national football team. The current head coach of the national football team, Ivankovic, was the coach of the Oman team at that time, and his tactical arrangement and rich experience were the hope of the national football team to crack the Japanese team.
Recent results show that the gap between the national football team and Japan is not insurmountable. In the recent East Asian Cup, the national football team drew 0-0 with Japan under the leadership of Ivankovic, which further proved the proximity of the two teams. Stable mentality and persistence are the key to the national football team's search for the flaws of the Japanese team.
In order to shorten the gap with the top teams in Asia, the Chinese Football Association has adopted a strategy of introducing naturalized players. Some media revealed that the addition of players such as Lotte and Oscar not only enhances the overall strength of the national football team, but may also play a decisive role at critical moments. In addition, it is rumored that the Chinese Football Association is in contact with the meritorious coach Lippi, and his return will further boost the fighting spirit of the national football team.
In the face of challenges, the Japanese team should not be underestimated. Japanese coach Hoichi Moriyasu has shown great respect for his opponent this time, and both he and the Japanese media have expressed concern about the "group of death" they are in. Although the Japanese team has been strong in the Asian competition, it has also faced challenges. The Japanese team has had a poor performance in the Asian Cup and the round of 36, which has provided a ray of life for the national football team.
In the strong dialogue with Japan, Australia and Saudi Arabia, the strategy of the national football team is to reduce the number of goals conceded and strive for points, even a draw is crucial to qualifying from the group. Both Australia and Saudi Arabia are aware of the difficulty of the group, with Australian head coach Alexander-Arnold saying that each team has a strong quality and that the performances of their players in the Europa League have added a lot to the Australian team.
In the face of the upcoming matches, the national football team has the opportunity to show its strength and determination away from home. Regardless of the outcome of the match, this will be an important step in the growth of the national football team, and it will also be an opportunity to show the spirit of Chinese football. Fans expect the national football team to play well, create miracles, and win glory for the country.
