The Japanese team has impressed fans from many countries in this World Cup. After losing to Croatia, the Japanese team began their reflection. Kamata Daiichi expressed his wishes directly to the media, and his words were full of reluctance. After the penalty shootout loss, he said, "It's hard to put it into words. I don't know what to say." "Personally, it was the best game I played in four matches. I tried to control the ball. Did I have a set plan?" It's really hard for fans who watched this game to pick on his performance.
Croatia, the runners-up in the last World Cup in Russia, are now in a state of transition between the old and the new in the team, but the legacy is still there, and when we see Modric working so hard, we know that the European team has achieved all the strengths. This actually reflects the level of the Japanese men's soccer team, on the contrary, our Chinese men's soccer team is still caught in a storm of a head coach.
Kamata Daiichi also said in an interview that their team will make adjustments in the coming preparation cycle. In fact, as fans who know the game can see, Japan's World Cup technique and tactics were actually defensive counterattacks. Whether it was against Spain or Germany, it didn't last long despite the end result being a victory. This loss to Croatia actually proved it.
Japan's World Cup tour is over, they have found a new goal and direction, the next World Cup may actually set a new record, us, what is our new goal? I hope this managerial storm will bring a glimmer of hope for the future of Chinese soccer to recover. In a few years, we can also participate in the World Cup at home with confidence, which is the wish of Chinese soccer fans.
