On the 24th, the Japanese national football team defeated Australia in the final qualifying round of the World Cup Asia and decided to participate in the 7th World Cup.


The midfielder Kaoru Mitoma scored two points in about 10 minutes, and the victory made him even more prominent as a trump card for Japan's attack.

The 24-year-old Kaoru Mitoma, who plays for the Belgian First Division team, has a sharp dribble breakthrough, and he participated in the match against Oman in November last year, which was the first election for the national team, to assist the final point.



It was expected to play a role in activating the attack in this match as well, but before the match, he said, "I am required to play in a different way. Even if the participation time is one minute, I have to leave a result. Don't do it. "



Mitoma's turn came in the 39th minute of the second half, when he was 0-0.



Even in a draw, the right to qualify is getting closer, but if he loses, he will be reversed to Australia and fall to 3rd place in the group. I thought that his offensive power would give me a chance to score without any goals. "



Then, in the 44th minute of the second half, just five minutes after his participation, Mitoma ran in response to a pass from Miki Yamane, who had deeply scooped out the right side, and scored the first goal with his right foot.



Yamane and Mitoma played at the same J1 Kawasaki Frontale until the middle of last season, and Mitoma said, "I thought that the pass would come when Yamane got the ball," assuming a combination with a former colleague. I revealed that it was done.



Furthermore, if you hold the ball at a high position on the left side just before the end, you will stop and show a pretense to hold the ball, and then when the opponent approaches, you will rapidly speed up and start dribbling.



After dodging the three, a strong shot with his right foot flicked the goalkeeper's hand and was sucked into the goal.



In about 10 minutes, he scored 2 points from the dribble that can be said to be the true value of Mitoma.



Mitoma showed a fulfilling expression, "I was able to psychologically reverse the opponent and invade the penalty area.



Mitoma who tossed Australia with the power to predict the movement of allies and break it in cooperation and the technology to break through with "individual".



It was the first time for a Japanese player to score multiple goals in one match in this final qualifying round.



The biggest match that Japan got the right to participate in this tournament was the match where the 24-year-old, who is expected to be the trump card for the attack, further emphasized his presence.
