National Football VS Japan Preview: Snow Shame 0-7? The competition is the end of the year! 26 years without a win but with a 3 advantage

At 20 o'clock one day later, the Chinese men's football team will sit at Xiamen Egret Stadium at home in the 6th round of the round of 18 to face the Japanese men's football team, which is also the last game of the Chinese men's football team this year. Facing a strong opponent with 12 wins and 1 draw in the last 13 games, can the national football team carry the good momentum of the recent 2 consecutive wins, and the shame of 0-7 in the first leg, as coach Ivankovic said, with determination to fight for points?

Although the strength of the national football team is at an overall disadvantage, it is better thanThe Japanese men's football team has an extra day off, plusTens of thousands of fans at homeandOn the day of the race, it may be a rainy day in Xiamen(The Japanese team was affected by heavy rain at the beginning of the game against Indonesia and conceded the goal first), these three advantages may provide a certain possibility for the national football team to upset points.

【Outbound Analysis】

After 5 rounds, the national football team ranks 4th in the group with 6 points, the same points as 2nd place Australia and 3rd place Saudi Arabia, and the goal difference is behind. Japan is unbeaten with 4 wins and 1 draw, leading with 13 points, Bahrain is 5th in the group with 5 points, and Indonesia is at the bottom of the group with 0 wins and 3 points.

If the national football team wants to achieve the goal of winning the fourth place in the group and advancing to the next stage of the play-offs, this game against Japan is not a key battle that needs to be fought for, but the national football team should still strive to get points to drag Japan and avoid the latter from going through the motions in the last four rounds after prematurely qualifying, so that other competitors in this group who are fighting for the fourth will benefit.

【Data Comparison】

【Combat Record】

At the national team level in history, the Chinese men's football team and Japan have met 24 times in official matches, with 6 wins, 6 draws and 12 losses. The last time China defeated Japan was in 1998, 26 years after now.

Since then, the national football team has played 14 matches against the Japanese men's football team, with only 6 draws and 8 losses. The Chinese team was defeated 0-1 at home and 0-2 away by Japan in the last World Preliminary Tournament. The first leg of the round of 18 was a 0-7 defeat away from home, which not only created the largest defeat between the two sides, but also the biggest defeat in the world preliminaries in team history.

【Initial Prediction】

China Men's Football Team (4-4-2)

Goalkeeper: Wang Dalei

Defenders: Hu Hetao, Zhu Chenjie, Jiang Guangtai, Yang Zexiang

Midfielders: Xie Wenneng, Li Yuanyi, Wang Shangyuan (Xu Haoyang), Lin Liangming

Forwards: Wei Shihao, Zhang Yuning (Wang Ziming)

Ivan is likely to continue the 4-4-2 'diamond' formation that beat Indonesia and Bahrain, only fine-tuning in a few positions. Li Lei is confirmed to be injured, and Yang Zexiang will take his starting position at left-back, so Hu Hetao will appear in the starting position at right-back.

The injuries of Wang Shangyuan and Zhang Yuning, coupled with the suspension of Baihelamu, make Xu Haoyang and Wang Ziming, who performed well against Bahrain, expected to appear, and Xie Wenneng, who has returned from the ban, will also return to the starting lineup.

Japan starters (3-4-2-1)

Goalkeeper: Ayaka Suzuki

Defenders: Ayumu Seko, Itakura Tsuku, Machida Hiroki

Midfielders: Ritsu Doan, Hiroshi Endo, Hidemasa Morita, Kaoru Mikasa

Forwards: Takumi Minamino, Kenei Kubo

Center: Hiroshi Furuhashi

[Pre-match sound]

Zhang Yuning (Chinese Striker): The Japanese team is indeed a first-class team in Asia among the first teams. We've got to be defensive, to look for opportunities and to be able to counter-attack. I don't think we can lose 7-0 against Japan no matter how many games we play, that's my idea, I think we can play, that is, we can do better than the last game.

Junya Ito (Japanese striker): After losing the last game, the Chinese team will definitely go all out in this game. Therefore, we must be well prepared. I think it's very important for the opponent to play long balls and fight for two penalties.

【Featured Players】

Zhang Yuning (China): In the last 3 round of 18 matches, 2 goals and 1 assist, in the absence of Wu Lei's injury, Zhang Yuning successfully carried the offensive banner of the national football team. Even the Japanese ace Mikasa won the national football team 7-0 in the first leg, and praised "the national football No. 9 played well". Whether Zhang Yuning can catch up with the key battle with Japan is also the focus of attention from the outside world.

Junya Ito (Japan): In the last round of 12, Junya Ito assisted in the first leg to score Japan's only goal, and in the second leg, he made a point and scored himself. In the first round of the round of 18, he came off the bench with 1 goal and 2 assists to help Japan defeat the national football team 7-0.

【Editor's Prediction】

Although I really hope that the national football team can grab 1 point or even win at home, from the objective fact analysis of the huge gap in strength between the two sides, the national football team may lose 0-2 or 0-3.
