The central referee for this China vs Japan will be:
“The players came together as a team. We prepared well, that was the detail that led the team to victory. Sometimes we call each other and communicate. When we played for Sanfrecce Hiroshima, we were teammates.” “Popa, I understand he calls me captain, but at the same time he called me Poichi too. That’s my nickname. After I left Hiroshima as a coach, when I didn’t have any job, Mr. Popovic was the head coach of Western Sydney Wanderers.” “I contacted them and asked them to let me train for about two weeks. It was a great opportunity to refresh my mind. It spurred me on to the point that I was motivated to be a head coach again after Hiroshima.” “Moriyasu-san is obviously a fantastic coach and you can see how well he is doing with the national team and how well they are playing and having a wonderful campaign. He came to visit them in between jobs and that probably says a lot about the kind of person he is. “He wants to keep developing, keep learning. He wants to come up with new ideas. And we spent a few weeks together and it was a really nice time for me because I was able to talk to him about football as well, so we had a lot of fun together. “Data doesn’t make us win tomorrow’s game. Data tells us we probably have an advantage. However, when I think about the Socceroos’ situation, even if the data says they haven’t done so well so far, the coach has changed and they will do the best they can. “For that, I want to do what I have to do. If I were to play, I would like to play in the shadows”.
“Japan is not only one of the strongest teams in Asia, but also a world-class team. We focused specifically on defense during our pre-match preparations, but we conceded a lot of goals during the game, some of which should not have happened,” he said. “12 of the players in this national team are relatively new to international competitions. The opponents in the final round of the Asian qualifiers are very strong, and such important games are valuable experiences, but also serve as lessons for younger players. “It was a difficult match and as a coach, this was the most difficult night for me.”
Suzuki; Hashioka, Itakura, Machida; Doan, Endo, Morita, Mitoma; Minamino, Kamada; Furuhashi.
D Wang; Yang, Jiang, Zhu, Hu; Li, H Wang, Lin; Wei; Zhang, Abuduwaili.
Out of action since October, Kyogo Furuhashi could return to Japan’s squad. The Japanese national team is expected to maintain the same core team that thrashed Indonesia 4-0 in the last game.
Both injured, Shangyuan Wang and Lei Li are unlikely to feature since China 1-0 win over Bahrain in their last game. The team’s top scorer, Yuning Zhang, has scored in each of the Chinese team’s two group stage wins. The forward is likely to partner Baihelamu Abuduwaili again.
