Japanese They have already defeated Germany on the first day of the group stage of the Qatar 2022 World Cup. Saturday’s defeat comes nine months before Euro 2024, where Germany She is a hostess.
flip He announced before the game that the time for experiments was over, but the initial approach was quite experimental, not in terms of players but in terms of technique and distribution of demarcations.
Formal Germany I played a defense of four but the idea was that it became a line of three with possession of the ball and that Joshua Kimmich He left the right side to join the middle of the field.
For this, there are three centers left but one of them, Niko Scholetterbeck, had to be left back when the Japanese had the ball. Moving forward the strategy worked to a certain extent. Backwards Schlotterbeck lived a nightmare.
The first Japanese goal came, in the 11th minute, from their wing with a cross from Sugawara who found Come on Catfish at the near post, where he touched the ball with his right foot to beat Marc André ter Stegen.

Germany found the tie in the 19th to Leroy Sane, which ended a good joint play, which was started by Kimmich to move to the middle. That was the debut of the Barcelona player Ilkay Gundogan as captain of the German team.
But Japanese He struck again two minutes later, again from the right. Sugawara center almost no resistance and in place appeared Uedo To define.
Germany I could have scored a third before the break but a great save from Ter Stegen avoiding him afterwards Ueda found a clear path to goal after latching on to a pass from Schlotterbeck looking for Antonio Rüdiger.
All in all Japanese showed clear excellence, not just on the scoreboard. He won most of the distributed balls, made quick attacks and knew how to get away from the German’s attempts to press high.
Germany’s best attack was the overflow of get well on the right which caused some anxiety in the opposing defence.
In the second part, Japanese seems closer to the third than Germany of the rope. The Germans had more of the ball but were unable to make dangerous moves. Come back Japanese seems to have found the formula to control get well.
On the other hand, if there are opportunities, it is enough to think that things can end in a debacle, and if it ends only in the last minutes, it is because before Ter Stegen I avoided it.
The third goal came in the 89th minute, scored by Donkeyon a play that came off a turnover by Robin Gosens. Then the disaster ended with the discount Tanaka he turned the quarter upside down.
