In Qatar World Cup, the Japanese team defeated the previous champions Germany and Spain, and achieved a historic victory and advanced to the top 16. The bright performance of the Japanese team made the world see more possibilities of Football Asia. The fans of the Japanese team said in an interview with reporters recently that strength, willpower and execution are the key to the victory of the Japanese team.

Xinqing, who is engaged in real estate related work in Japan, is a senior fan and also the captain of a Chinese amateur team “Brothers FC” in Japan. Xinqing told reporters that he stayed up late in the early morning of the 2nd to watch the match between Japan and Spain. He was not surprised by the result of the competition. “After all, the progress of Japanese football is obvious to all.” He believes that most of the Japanese team are European players, and the lineup is second to none in Asia and has the strength close to the European middle game team. “I think European teams still despise football Asia, thus paying a price.” Xinqing said.

Xinqing comes from Dalian. He has been playing football since childhood and has received more professional training. After coming to Japan, he plays football every week and plays and communicates with other amateur teams. He believes that a deep public Foundation is one of the advantages of Japanese football. The atmosphere of Japanese high school football championship is fierce, just like the Chinese Super League team playing the Asian championship.

Asano, the principal of the Japanese FOOTBALL school ZONE FOOTBALL ACADEMY, also told the reporter that strong execution was another key to the Japanese team’s victory. Asano also said that in order to beat the strong European teams such as Germany and Spain, the Japanese team chose Akita Da Ran and Asano Tuo mill in the forward position, and made special arrangements in the lineup configuration. “Several positions such as the forward are controversial in public opinion, but the Japanese team has strong executive power. On paper, Japan is not as strong as Germany and Spain, but they are fully prepared, both in physical state and psychological state.” Asano also said.

This competition is the first time that the World Cup has implemented the “5 substitutions” rule. Asano Zheng also said that senbao made full use of this rule to consume opponents in the first half with a defensive starting lineup, while in the second half, he replaced a breakthrough hand with strong attack power to create opportunities. “I think this tactic is very good, similar to China’s Tanji horse racing. There is no big name in the Japanese team and it has strong executive power.” He said.

In the match against Spain, the Japanese player sanxun hooked the ball back at the bottom line limit, and Tanaka Bei hit the net in front of the door, which became the focus of hot discussion among the fans. FIFA said a few days ago that the second goal of Japan’s victory over Spain was confirmed to be effective after VAR inspection, and football did not completely go out of the bottom line. Asano also believes that this fully reflects the spirit of fighting, and the final “turning the tide” creates an important opportunity for the Japanese team to win. “What impressed me most is their tenacious willpower. Not every player will catch up with this kind of ball, but if they don’t fight, there is really no chance.”

Asano also said that the outstanding performance of the Japanese team in this World Cup will in turn promote the development of Japanese youth training. I feel very excited and have a greater enthusiasm for work. In addition to Japanese students, there are also many children from overseas Chinese families in the football school he opened. In his view, the biggest difference between students is not the physical gap and the technical gap, but the cognition and understanding of football. “Some parents will direct their children to play football outside the court, which will make children care more about their parents’ comments and cannot handle their judgments independently on the court.”

Asano Zheng also said that football can not only enhance people’s physique, but also enable children to learn the truth of life. For the development of Asian teams, he believes that the virtuous circle of football cannot be separated from youth training, and Japan has done better in youth training.

The Japanese leader Shuai Sen Baoyi has said many times that the goal of the Japanese team is to enter the top eight and create history. In the 1/8 final in the early morning of the 6th, the Japanese team will face the Croatia team. “Facing the last runner-up whose lineup is gradually aging, the Japanese team may really be able to create history.” Xinqing said.
