Let’s talk about the World Cup for the first time today: Japan vs Croatia !
Japanese team really took the "version bonus"!
After adding the substitution quota to 5 people in this World Cup, the Japanese team really played a big fuss.
Two sets of lineups and two plays in the first and second half, which is simply "16 against 11", and it is also a tactical wonder in the history of the World Cup, which caught Germany and Spain off guard.
However, because of the absence of a key player, their set of things may not be so easy to play.
The main defender of the Japanese team, Akira Kazuki, got two yellow cards and was suspended. He was not here, and this set of Japanese special tactics will be greatly affected.
Everyone knows that Japan defended in the first half, and replaced a lot of forwards to attack the opponent in the second half.
often see their five forwards sprinting together, which is very spectacular, and Germany can't stand it.
These five strikers will also rely on their physical advantages of restoring their energy to rush to the opponent's home to press frantically. Spain was robbed frequently and made mistakes, resulting in conceding the ball.
However, what is the premise for the Japanese team to dare to let 5 forwards rush like this?
The premise is that they have 5 defenders in the back, otherwise how dare they play this "All In" charge? If you can't rush down and you're attacked by someone, it's very dangerous.
And Akira Kazuki is a very critical one among the five defenders. The Japanese team has 3 people playing every minute: goalkeeper, captain , Maya Yoshida , and Akira Kazuki.
His confrontation and speed are very excellent, and he is the first in the team in the number of tackles.
Japan brought 4 central defenders this time, and the other three were over 30 years old, and they were not mobility enough. They mainly rely on the 25-year-old Tokura to sweep. Once he was suspended, Japan played 5 forwards and sprinted, once they were counterattacked, the speed of the chase might not be enough.
Croatia is different from Spain and Germany.
Spain and Germany like to play the team without a striker and do not like high center forwards, so they rarely make crosses because they do not have a center forward and cannot receive it even if they pass.
This is the 1040 pass route map when Spain played against Japan. There are many back and forth, but there are very few crosses from the wing.
However, with so few crosses, the center Morata pushed into one, which shows that the Japanese team's air defense ability is relatively weak, there is no way, height can't be practiced the day after tomorrow.
It’s a pity that Spain inexplicably replaced Morata, who made contributions early and abandoned his martial arts. Germany clearly has high center forwards but doesn't like to use them, and it has failed to take advantage of Japan's weakness.
But Croatia is the exact opposite, they play crossing the side.
They created 37 scoring opportunities through crosses from the wing in the World Cup, which is the most in Europe.
They made the most of 141 crosses in the last World Cup, and the same is true this time.
Although Mandzukic retired, he still has Petkovic . He is not very famous and has good strength. Last month, he headed the ball to break through Chelsea goals in the Champions League last month.
Japanese team was originally weak in air defense, and today they are missing Bancang, who is second in height and second in number of clearances. I don’t know how to defend it?
Overall, although the Japanese team miraculously qualified for the first place in the group, they mainly rely on tactics to win.
Moreover, there are big problems within Germany, and Spain is suspected of deliberately trying to win the second place in the group.
Now I have met the experienced Croatia. The restraint relationship in the original style of play is very obvious. Germany and Spain have helped to clear the mines. Will the experienced Croatian still step into the same pit?
Can Croatia satisfy fans? What do you think? The cocktail party is looking forward to them not having to play overtime to advance directly.
