However, in the penalty shootout, they finally failed to cross the peak of Croatia, the results of the round of 16 became the end of their World Cup journey. But this has brought unprecedented shock to the Chinese audience: Asian soccer, can reach such a level! Japanese players, too, will be the dream of soccer players on the stage of reality, they really beat Germany such a soccer giant.
Yoichi Takahashi, the author who once dreamed of writing about soccer boys, was overwhelmed with emotion in the interview, "Forty years ago, when I went to Germany to pick up the story and visit the clubs, I thought that Japan simply couldn't do it." And now, in just a few decades, Japan is not only among the World Cup, but also beat Germany, which he never dreamed of.
The cartoon "Footballers" has long been a world-class cultural symbol, with soccer stars such as Zinedine Zidane and Lionel Messi openly stating that they have been influenced by it.In 2002, the cartoon's protagonist, Wings Omakita, moved from São Paulo, Brazil, to Barcelona in the La Liga, a move which even aroused the strong dissatisfaction of Real Madrid's president, Lorenzo São São. At the 2002 World Cup in Japan and South Korea, 22 players from the Japanese team claimed to have been influenced by Soccer Bombers.In 2018, a giant portrait of Oikong in the stands against Belgium became a classic scene in World Cup history.
The Japanese dream of being world champions in soccer juniors. They aspire to win the Hercules Cup. To this end, the Japanese Football Association (JFA) has formulated a 1,000-page "Football Centennial Plan" aimed at developing professional leagues, youth training systems, and foreign exchanges. A constant theme in the cartoon is not giving up until the last second!
Interestingly, in the last World Cup, Japan was leading Belgium 2:0 in the last eight, only to be reversed by their opponents scoring three goals in 14 seconds before the end of the match. In order to remember the shame of these 14 seconds, the Japanese even made a documentary titled Let Japan Be Silent for 14 Seconds as a wake-up call. Although the World Cup ended in the last eight, but the seed of dream has taken root in the hearts of the Japanese, they firmly believe that it is only a matter of time to enter the top eight.
Meanwhile, the Chinese national soccer team is in trouble. Thailand lost to Vietnam, and the New Year's Day loss to Vietnam has become an "eternal classic" for Vietnam. Just when people thought the national soccer team was at the bottom of the heap, they hit an all-time low. Li Tie, the former coach of the national football team, was investigated for serious violations of the law, allegedly receiving black money, playing fake football, and he has given up three former Chinese men's football international players. This has created deep concern about the future of the national soccer team.
In the movie "The Richest Man in the West Rainbow City" starring Shen Teng, there is also a satirical episode of the national soccer team. Shen Teng set up the "Royal Daxiang team" because of the money, the players eat a lot of food, but the results are a mess. In reality, the national players, although enjoying the top treatment, but never achieve good results.
It is worth mentioning that the national soccer team's ability to withstand a loss is no worse than anyone else's. However, compared with Japan's losing filming documentary, the national soccer team's ability to bear the loss is fragile. In this soccer match, the national football team still needs to keep working hard to win more respect. Finally, if you like this article, don't forget to like it!
