The Qatar World Cup is finally underway, and Japan’s first match against Germany, a crucial match that will determine the team’s chances of advancing past the group stage, is just around the corner.
Do not underestimate Japan or Costa Rica. They are very tricky teams.
It is no surprise that Japan is looking for every possible strategy against this formidable foe, but Germany is also keeping a close watch on Japan. Earlier, Antonio Rüdiger, the leader of the defensive team, said, “In 2018, we were supposed to be the favorites to win the tournament, but we were eliminated in the group phase. Such a disgrace should never happen again to a soccer powerhouse like Germany,” and added: “We must not underestimate Japan or Costa Rica. They are very tricky teams,” he said.
Captain and goalkeeper Manuel Neuer added, “We have to be vigilant. The first game of a tournament is always the most important, and Japan is a very disciplined and tricky team. Many of their players play in the Bundesliga. These teams are the most difficult to play against,” he commented. In a recent press conference, he referred more specifically to Japan, naming Daichi Kamada, who is not only Frankfurt’s leading scorer but also contributes in a variety of ways as a defensive midfielder, as the player he will be most wary of.
He is a very good player and in a dangerous position for us. He is frequently in the top position and jumps up front. He can keep the ball and is difficult for us to catch. He can move into dangerous spaces and shoot with both feet. Of course, he is also very technically gifted.
Kamada, who was also described by the German guardian as “a key player for Japan and we must always be wary of him,” said, “If there are 11 players, someone will be wary of him, and since it is such a question, I have to mention someone (by name). I think we have to raise the value of the Japanese in this tournament,” he said, vowing to win this tournament against a strong opponent.
