As the highest-ranked team in Asia, most of Japan's roster are travelers to Europe. Although Takumi Minamino and three other players withdrew from the team after the first match, Mori Baoichi still has sufficient personnel to choose from, and the mixed-race player, Ado, was added to the team temporarily, and is very likely to play in the match with China.

It's the stage I want to be on, so the transfer decision I made without hesitation.For the Round of 12 matches, even if the field is not playing well, this match with China has to be a 3-point match."
Speaking about the loss to Oman, Kenyo Tomiyasu confessed, "Honestly, I didn't think the team would lose. Normally, we would have switched to defense the first time we lost possession, but in this game we were significantly slower in our tempo, and Oman gained more time and space to control the ball after they got it."
