"Dear spectators, good evening. I am now explaining to you the third round of the group stage of the E-group of the South African World Cup, Denmark vs. Japan. What I have on hand is the starting lineup of the two sides just won this game. First of all, the Danish team has basically no difference from the lineup of the previous game. It was just adjusted in a very small position. It should be said that it is a round rest.

Goalkeeper Anderson, defenders Jacobson, Kyar, Ag and Kroll Drup, midfielder Paulson and Daniel Jensen, midfielder Mike Jensen, Qin Tian and Romedal, and forward Ben Turner. As I said just now, he only rotated in three positions. After all, some of the veterans are not physically strong enough to keep them in their youth at all times.

Next is the Japanese team. Before talking about the Japanese team's lineup, let's talk about a little off-topic. Before that, the South Korean team had successfully entered the top 16 games. The performance of the Japanese team in the same continent in the e-group is also remarkable. It can be said that the performance of the Asian region in this World Cup has suppressed the performance of the African region.

The Japanese team is very prepared for this World Cup. In December last year, the Japanese national team conducted a short-term training camp for the purpose of physical fitness tests. After the end, head coach Takeshi Okada told the media, "Our current level is not enough, we must reach the same level as the world's strong team within half a year before the start of the World Cup.' Before the group draw, the Japanese team also shouted that this World Cup would reach the semi-finals. At that time, these words sounded no less than a satellite.

In the previous warm-up match, the Japanese team challenged the Netherlands away and eventually lost 0-3. However, in the first 60 minutes of the game, Japan was not at a disadvantage, and the Dutch players also praised Japan's performance in the first half. The reason why this was achieved was mainly because Japan pressed with all its strength from the beginning and actively fought in the opponent's half, which caused the Dutch team's rhythm to be completely disrupted. The final stage lost 3 goals, which was due to the pressure. Takeshi Okada said after the game, "I know that I can't hold on for 90 minutes. But in order to reach the semi-finals of the World Cup, there is no other way. If you can't hold on now, then we must work hard to be able to hold on."

Okada's words also aroused some objections in Japan. Some media quoted former head coach Osim as saying: 'Players are humans, not machines. You can't just ask them to run'. They believe that the characteristics of the Japanese team lies in technology and team cooperation. In the next two warm-up matches against Scotland and Togo, Japan won 2-0 and 5-0 respectively. Although the opponents sent second- and even third-tier teams, it can be seen that Japan is very calm when facing opponents who are not as strong as theirs and can firmly control the situation. Because the scenes and results of these games are quite satisfactory, the media has even stronger demanded that Okada play to his strengths and avoid his weaknesses and not blindly pursue physical fitness.

But Okada turned a deaf ear to this, which led to this short-term training camp in December. He invited a lecturer to teach the team members - running technology class, which shows that his ideas after the match with the Netherlands still remained unchanged. So a mean media sarcastically said: "He wants all the players to be despised and scare the opponent to death." The harmony party is still a replay of the old tune, some say skills and some say cooperation. But as the head coach of the Japanese team when they first participated in the World Cup in 1998, Okada Takeshi only knows more about the team than the media, and he cannot not know what others say. The reason he has to hone his physical fitness is because he believes that relying solely on technology and cooperation is impossible to challenge world-class teams.

So, what hinders the improvement of the Japanese team? Dutch defender Ma Tyson said after the game on September 6: "The Japanese team played well, but I am not worried at all, because they will not play football after entering the 20-meter area." Hunteral also bluntly said that "the Japanese team's shooting is too smelly." Okada also conducted many experiments on the forward line, among which Shinji Okazaki once played a hat trick against the Hong Kong team in China, but gradually became silent afterwards. The forward problem has plagued the Japanese team for many years, and it is unrealistic to expect a character to emerge within half a year to solve the problem of "strength weakness", so this route is basically excluded. Next is physical fitness, including height and strength. Japan once turned defeat 4-3 in the warm-up match with Ghana in September, but while cheering, they were more impressed by the physical fitness of their opponents.

When the lottery was announced, the two opponents of the Japanese team in the group stage were in Europe, and the other was the African Lions. You can imagine that the fans would be very upset. Unfortunately, due to their inherent disadvantages, this point is even less likely to improve. Compared with these two points, physical fitness is an indicator that is expected to improve within half a year. The lecturer invited to the short-term training told the players that according to the method he said, results can be achieved in as soon as 3 months. Since the first half with the Netherlands gave people hope, as long as physical fitness can be improved, this approach is indeed desirable.

However, neither the media nor Takeshi Okada proposed the idea of ​​changing the Japanese team's playing style, which is exactly a major problem for the Japanese team. Now the main way of playing is to control the midfield, mobilize opponents on a large scale, and tear open the opponent's defense line from the wing. In order to control the midfield and increase the wingers at the same time, the Japanese team generally adopts a 451 formation, and occasionally changes the formation to 433.442. It has only appeared once in recent games.

When the Japanese team successfully defeated Cameroon in the first round of the group stage, the domestic media also praised it. But what they didn't expect was that the Danish team in the same group actually defeated the Dutch team and forced the Dutch team to a dead end. It can be imagined how much effort the Dutch team will put in the second game against the Japanese team.

Unsurprisingly, the Dutch team defeated the Japanese team and also achieved a 1 win and 1 loss. This undoubtedly told the Japanese team that if they wanted to complete the head coach's previous statement of satellite release, then defeating the Denmark team was something they had to do, and a draw also meant a loss." As he said, Duan Xuan paused slightly. Although he was not optimistic about the Japanese team being able to enter the top 16, the Dutch team has a greater grasp of victory. However, Duan Xuan was still very envious of the performance of the Japanese team, the Korean team's old opponents in the World Cup.

In Asia, Japan, South Korea, Iran and Australia, which joined later, are considered to be the highest footballing countries, especially in the 2002 Japan-Korea World Cup, Japan and South Korea, as hosts, shined, which also made these two national teams full of confidence when facing the world powers.

Before this game, the Japanese princess also personally rushed to the training base of the Japanese team for cordial condolences. None of the Japanese media in Japan asked Okada for trouble at this time and relieve stress! It is the attitude of all Japanese people towards the national team. However, compared with the stability in Japan, the Japanese team players, including head coach Okada, seem full of confidence.

When facing the Asahi Shimbun, Okada began to talk about the comparison of the two teams. Okada believed that many of the three front personnel of the team were not much different from those of the opponent's three front players, and even had more than that of the Danish team. At the same time, the team's will, tactics, etc. were not inferior to that of the Danish team. As for physical fitness, after hellish training, the Japanese team has a body that is not inferior to any team. Even if there is no player in the Japanese court in the midfield competition, no Japanese player can compare with Qin Tian, ​​but in terms of overall strength, it is entirely possible for the Japanese team to defeat the Danish team, so as to successfully squeeze out the Dutch team from qualifying from the group.

However, this is just a wishful view of the Japanese. In the latest handicap of major European gambling companies, Denmark's victory over Japan seems to have become a consensus among many gambling companies. In the words of an ordinary fan, "If the Denmark has Qin Tian, ​​there is a 50% chance of being invincible. This is like a superpower with an atomic bomb. I don't know what the Japanese use to curb his performance?"

At the press conference before the game, when Okada met with his favorite players Keiyu Honda and Olsen and Qin Tian, ​​like his head coach, Keiyu Honda also said shamelessly, "Denmark defeated the Netherlands, and we lost to the Netherlands. This does not mean that our strength is weaker than the Denmark team. zg has a story called "Tianji Horse Racing". Our goal is to defeat the Denmark in the last round and complete our breakthrough mission.

As for Qin, I think my teammates will treat him well."

Okada was very satisfied with his disciple's speech and was very imposing. Olson was relatively calm, at least he still had a smile on his face, "Yes, compared with the Japanese team, our results in the previous six years of competition were bleak. Even the glory of the past can be traced back to the 1990s, but this is the stage of the World Cup. Even if the opponents faced are so strong, we are confident that we will overturn the opponent to the ground. Isn't the Dutch team the best example?"

"Also, we have Qin Tian, ​​the best player in the world. This is our best capital. In addition, the whole team is united and I am very optimistic about the performance of the players in this World Cup. What is the result? I think the answer will be clear in 90 minutes."

As one of the key figures in this game, Qin Tian naturally received the most attention. After Olson's statement, Qin Tian continued, "No matter how much else you say, it's useless. Football doesn't rely on your mouth. I just hope that after the game, the Japanese team will still maintain such an optimistic attitude, and there is also who will come. Forget it, your name doesn't matter anymore. I hope you can use your strength during the game, because I may be a little harder than you imagined."

After saying that, Olson and Qin Tian didn't care how ugly the Japanese coach and Keiyu Honda's faces were. They signaled to the host and the reporter below and left the press conference. When they got up, a zg reporter who didn't know what newspaper it was excitedly shouted, "Kill the little Japanese."

Okada and Keiyuki Honda's faces collapsed...
