The Japanese national football team won the first match of the World Cup Qatar tournament by coming from behind to win against Germany to pick up three points, and will face Costa Rica in their second match on the 27th.
Costa Rica's world ranking is 31st against Japan's 24th, and this is their 6th appearance in the World Cup for the 3rd time in a row.
The team is characterized by a solid defense centered on goalkeeper Keylor Navas, who plays for Paris Saint-Germain, a powerhouse of the French first division, but in the first match against Spain on the 23rd, it was 0-7. We were defeated.
Kubo Takefusa, who started in the match against Germany, said, "I had the image of a solid defense and hasty attack, but after losing the first match, I couldn't read the way I was going to play at all. There is also an eerie feeling." It requires the ability to see how things go and respond accordingly.
If Japan wins Costa Rica, Spain wins or draws in the match between Spain and Germany, which will be held after that, to secure the second place in the group and advance to the knockout stages for the second consecutive tournament.
The Costa Rica game will start at 1:00 pm local time on the 27th, 7:00 pm Japan time.
