　　In the World Cup in Qatar, the Japanese team defeated the previous champions Germany and Spain, achieved a historic victory and advanced to the top 16.

The brilliant performance of the Japanese team made the world see more possibilities of Asian football.

Fans of the Japanese team said in an interview with reporters recently that strength, willpower and execution are the keys to the Japanese team's victory.

　　Xin Qing, who is engaged in real estate-related work in Japan, is a veteran fan and the captain of a Chinese amateur team "Band of Brothers FC" in Japan.

Xin Qing told reporters that he stayed up late on the 2nd to watch the match between the Japanese team and the Spanish team.

He was not surprised by the result of the game.

"After all, the progress of Japanese football is obvious to all." He believes that most of the Japanese team are players living in Europe. The lineup is second to none in Asia and has the strength close to the mid-range European teams.

"I think European teams still underestimate Asian football and pay the price," Xinqing said.

On December 2, Beijing time, in the third round of Group E of the Qatar World Cup group match, the Japanese team played against the Spanish team.

In the first half, in the 11th minute, Morata scored with a header and the Spanish team led 1:0.

At the beginning of the second half, Don Anru and Tanaka Aoir scored two goals in a row, and the Japanese team overtook the Spanish team 2:1.

In the end, the Japanese team reversed the Spanish team 2:1, with two wins and one loss in the group stage with 6 points, ranking first and qualifying.

The Spanish team advanced to second in the group with 4 points.

　　Xinqing is from Dalian. He has played football since he was a child and has also received relatively professional training. After coming to Japan, he plays football every week, matches and communicates with other amateur teams.

He believes that the deep popular base is one of the advantages of Japanese football.

The atmosphere of the Japan High School Football Championship is fierce, just like a Chinese Super League team playing in the AFC Champions League.

　　Asano Masaya, the principal of the Japanese football school "ZONE FOOTBALL ACADEMY", told reporters that strong execution is another key to the victory of the Japanese team.

Masaya Asano said that in order to defeat strong European teams such as Germany and Spain, the Japanese team chose Dairan Maeda and Takuma Asano in the forward positions, and made special arrangements in lineup configuration.

"Front and other positions may be controversial in public opinion, but the Japanese team has a strong execution ability. On paper, Japan is not as strong as Germany and Spain, but they are fully prepared, both physically and mentally. Come." Asano Masaya said.

　　This competition is the first time that the "5 substitutions" rule has been implemented in the World Cup.

Masaya Asano said that Morihoichi made full use of this rule to consume opponents in the first half with a defensive-heavy starting lineup, and replaced them with stronger offensive breakthrough players in the second half to create opportunities.

"I think this tactic is played very well, similar to China's Tian Ji horse racing. There are no big names in the Japanese team, and they have strong execution." He said.

On December 2, Beijing time, in the third round of Group E of the Qatar World Cup group match, the Japanese team played against the Spanish team.

In the first half, in the 11th minute, Morata scored with a header and the Spanish team led 1:0.

At the beginning of the second half, Don Anru and Tanaka Aoir scored two goals in a row, and the Japanese team overtook the Spanish team 2:1.

In the end, the Japanese team reversed the Spanish team 2:1, with two wins and one loss in the group stage with 6 points, ranking first and qualifying.

The Spanish team advanced to second in the group with 4 points.

　　In the game against the Spanish team, Japanese player Kaoru Misaki hooked the ball back at the limit of the bottom line, and Aoshi Tanaka crashed into the net in front of the goal, becoming the focus of heated discussions among fans.

FIFA stated a few days ago that the second goal of the Japanese team's victory over Spain was confirmed to be valid after a VAR inspection, and the football did not completely cross the bottom line.

Asano also believes that this fully reflects the fighting spirit, and the final "turning the tide" created an important chance for the Japanese team to win.

"What impresses me the most is their tenacious willpower. Not every player will chase this kind of ball to the end, but if they don't fight, they really don't have this opportunity."

　　Asano Masaya said that the outstanding performance of the Japanese team in this World Cup will in turn promote the development of Japanese youth training. He is very excited and has a greater enthusiasm for work.

In the football school he opened, in addition to Japanese students, there are also many children from overseas Chinese families.

In his opinion, the biggest difference between students is not the physical and technical gaps, but the cognition and understanding of football.

"Some parents will direct their children to play football outside the court, which will make children care more about their parents' evaluation, and they will not be able to independently handle judgments on the court."

　　Masaya Asano said that football can not only strengthen the body, but also allow children to learn the principles of life.

Regarding the development of Asian teams, he believes that the virtuous cycle of football is inseparable from youth training, and Japan has done a good job in youth training.

　　Japanese coach Mori Hoichi has said many times that the goal of the Japanese team is to reach the quarter-finals and make history.

In the 1/8 finals in the early morning of the 6th, the Japanese team will face the Croatian team.

"Facing the last runner-up with an aging lineup, the Japanese team may really be able to create history." Xin Qing said.
