The Japanese team under the leadership of Moriyasu is showing pretty good football. The team with 4 wins passed their selection group without conceding a single goal. The Japanese are showing good defensive play. Playing in their favorite manner on counterattacks, they are able to beat many opponents. Japan has someone to score, because there are many players from the strongest European championships in the squad. In their last game Japan lost 1-0 to South Korea, while showing very convincing football.
Ryan Gigs’ charges are also performing well. Over the past eight matches, the team has never lost (six wins and two losses). The national team does not even concede the last four matches. The line of defense is very competent, but they had to play against Azerbaijan, Bulgaria, Finland and Hungary. The upcoming rival is several times stronger, so let’s see how Wales plays against them.
