At the beginning of the match, less than twenty seconds later, the battle was in full swing - left back Wen Jiabao took the lead, sped with the ball, broke through the Japanese penalty line, and fired a powerful shot! Thinking back to the match against South Korea four days ago.

The Selects didn't struggle to get their only shot on goal of the game until the second half, and it was unthreatening. This was no less than a strong signal.

After a heartbreaking 0-3 loss in the first game, for the

When the Selection Team plays Japan again, no one dares to hope to grab points. Facing South Korea, which is not good at passing, the team was passive throughout the game, and now encountered a more strict Japan, the process and the result may be even more unimaginable. However, the "change of formation" and "change of tactics" make the

The team was refreshed and after 90 minutes of intense competition, they not only played 0-0 with the hosts, but also improved significantly compared to the first game.

The Selects managed to hold off a surging Japanese attack, not by relying on a better defense than the first game, but a sharper offense. What was most disappointing about the heartbreaking loss against South Korea was not only the 3-goal net loss, but the sense of powerlessness and frustration the team displayed on the field. Though the damage was minor, the insult was extreme. Therefore, before facing Japan, Yankovic made adjustments to the team, in addition to psychological guidance, the tactics emphasized not shrinking the defense, dare to attack, and the real-world effect is remarkable.
(Challenging fate at gunpoint)
That's exactly the dialectic on the soccer field.
In the face of a strong team, if you keep on defending, the more you want to defend, the more you can't defend; instead, you should be brave and go forward, so that the opponents can't go all out because of their worries, so that the security of the defense will be improved. Compared with the game against South Korea

The selection team spent most of the time in the midfield tussle against Japan, which made it more difficult for Japan to switch from defense to offense, reduced the speed of counterattacks, and had to consume time and sharpness in inefficient positional battles, which ultimately led to no success.

The subjective reasons for the selection of the team to be able to draw with Japan. However, it must also be recognized that the role of objective factors cannot be ignored.
As Japan's participation in the East Asian Cup is aimed at examining local players in preparation for the World Cup, Mori Bao'ichi has made significant adjustments to the starting lineup this time, with 90% of the players making their national team debut. In the second half, he used up all five substitutions early, and the frequent personnel changes affected the tacit understanding between the Japanese players. Especially in the second half, Japan made a number of passing and receiving errors, unable to play the delicate footwork, subtle coordination and strong penetration, and few opportunities, despite the superiority of the data, but lack of breakthroughs. Looking at the distribution of energy in the three matches, Japan's performance against Hong Kong and

The selectors have been holding back on their matches with the intention of saving their best lineup and form for the match against South Korea.
(Spell it out! For the sake of the last dignity)
South Korea's schedule is similar to Japan's, but the steps are more relaxed:
The first battle to send a full-fledged lineup, the second battle of Hong Kong, China to carry out a substantial rotation, the final battle of Japan once again focused on the elite to fight. For Japan and South Korea, the third round of direct confrontation is the real "practice" value of 90 minutes. And for the two Chinese teams, the appetizer before the main meal is just a padding. And
