September 7, Japan's Yahoo update: former Japan international player King Tanaka Doukasu on his YouTube channel, the strength of our naturalized players to give high praise.
"The naturalized players are top-notch, they are the real deal, and this is not good news for the Japanese soccer world."
As a third-generation Brazilian-born Japanese, King Tanaka Togusa moved to Japan during his high school years, became a naturalized Japanese citizen in 2003, and represented Japan at the 2004 Athens Olympics and the 2010 World Cup in South Africa. Our naturalized players are also reportedly looking forward to participating in the World Cup.
"These players are especially eager to play in the World Cup as they are unable to represent their home countries, which is certainly a big advantage for our team. Moreover, the naturalized players have adapted to the culture, language and environment of our country, which will undoubtedly be a challenge for the Japanese team."
After losing to Australia, the national soccer team will meet Japan in the second round of the 12-team tournament the next day. The Vietnamese media website Soccer+ has also published an article on the "Blue Samurai's stress-relieving game".
The article pointed out that after Japan's unexpected loss to Oman in the first round, facing the relatively weak men's soccer team of our country would be the perfect opportunity for Japan to relieve the pressure and predicted that Japan would win by a score of 2-0.
According to the data, the national soccer team has a record of five draws and five losses in the last 10 meetings with Japan. The last time the national football team beat Japan was back on March 7, 1998 in the Dinas Cup (the predecessor of the East Asian quarterfinals), when the national football team beat Japan 2-0 in Tokyo, with Ri Bing scoring two solo goals.
