Chapter 79 - Australia

[Crazy! The Japanese National Team crushed Jordan by a score of 9-1.]

[Analyzing the reasons why the Japanese national team was so vicious in the match against Jordan. Is it the impact of Kazuki's presence?]

[Will Misaki Taro follow in Kazuki's footsteps with a career in Europe next season? See which clubs have made bids for Misaki.]

[Japan's captain's response to Japan's victory over Jordan, Hasebe: We are very lucky to have quality young players.]

Various Japanese sports magazines discussed Japan's victory against Jordan with great enthusiasm. After all, this is the fourth round of world cup qualifiers. Any country that has made it to this stage is not a country with a weak national team. Although it must be admitted that the strength of the Japanese national team is above them.

Not only Japan but this victory was also discussed in Korean football magazines. In football, competition between Japan and South Korea was very fierce. Whether it's in the Asian cup or the world cup qualifiers, the competition between these two teams never ends. Several sports magazines in Korea argued that the Japanese media exaggerated this victory. Of course, some admitted that the new generation of Japan was indeed very strong. Especially after Kazuki thwarted Park Ji Sung's Manchester United to win the league championship. Korean sports media began to look for young Korean players who could compete with Kazuki.

On the other hand, China could only be silent watching its two neighbors fight, in the football sector, China was lagging behind South Korea and Japan even though the Chinese Super League was also gaining popularity by bringing in famous players from Europe.

The match against Australia will be a test for Japan, how far this team can compete on the international stage. Australia's move from the Oceania Football Federation to the AFC made Australia one of the contestants who could compete with Korea and Japan in Asia. In addition, many Australian players have made careers in Europe's five major leagues.

On the other hand, the transfer window in Europe is getting hotter. Pogba and Anthony Martial were officially at Manchester United. Manchester United bought Pogba for 70 million euros and Anthony for 80 million euros. With the inclusion of these two players, it is hoped that Manchester United could win the title after failing two times in a row.

Meanwhile, Manchester United seem to turn their attention to Van Persie after Kazuki as their main target was very difficult to realize. Van Persie also seems dissatisfied with the salary given by Arsenal. He was not satisfied with the achievements achieved by Arsenal. Arsenal has not tasted the Premier League title in years. With the current Premier League situation, it seems very difficult for Arsenal to win the Premier League.

Southampton was moving in this summer window. Anthony declared retirement this season. In addition, several players also decided to move, one of them was Dallas who lacked playing minutes because he failed to compete with Rudolf and Simone. In addition, Hugo reportedly wanted to move to Leicester City, The Fox has made an official offer from Leicester.

In addition, some players entered Southampton, a surprise for Kazuki because Joe Bennet, his friend at Manchester United under-18s, actually moved to Southampton on loan with an option to buy. With the entry of Bennet, Southampton could fill the hole left by Dallas. Meanwhile, on the right, Southampton still needs to find a replacement for Hugo if the player goes to Leicester City.

In the Spanish league, shocking news came from the Catalan club, Barcelona. Jürgen Klopp has officially replaced Guardiola as Barcelona coach. Everyone thought that Enrique who did well in the academy would be appointed as coach of the Barcelona first team but Barcelona President, Russell seems to have other ideas.

The appointment of Jürgen Klopp was very surprising because Jürgen Klopp did not have any relationship with Barcelona before, please note that Barcelona coaches were always chosen from former Barcelona players who have become coaches. At least if you didn't have a relationship with Barcelona then the coach must be someone who was in line with Barcelona's tiki-taka principles, but Jürgen was not that kind of person.

Klopp's appointment was part of the clean-up of Cruyff's influence carried out by Barcelona president Russell. He wanted to rid Barcelona of the old tradition of glorifying Cruyff too much. This was also the reason Guardiola resigned from Barcelona. He did not like Russell, who was anti-Cruyff.

On the other hand, the Japanese national team went to Australia with their entourage using a special plane. Kazuki had to separate from Shiraishi because the national team didn't allow non-staff people to join in on this trip. After hours of traveling, Kazuki and company finally arrived in Australia.

The Japanese federation has prepared a large bus to welcome the Japanese national team at the airport. After that, the group took the bus to go to the hotel that had been rented.

The match will be held in 2 days. There is still time for the Japanese national team to prepare more tactics and strategies.

The Australian national team players had an average height higher than Japan. Australia was able to take advantage of these advantages by playing highball. In the Asian Cup, Australia often uses this strategy to beat other Asian teams. In addition, besides height, they also had stronger physical abilities. Against Japan who plays ball possession, Australia will definitely use their physicality to violate and prevent the attacks that the Japanese national team players build.

In a press conference the day before the match, Australia coach Fernandes Da Costa said, "Our players are very well-prepared to face the Japanese national team. Our goal in tomorrow's match is to win the game.

Japan is a strong team, they are currently in a hot performance. However, I believe Australia has a chance to win tomorrow's match. The most dangerous player in the Japanese national team is, of course, Kazuki, we couldn't deny that this half-season the Japanese player has shown extraordinary achievements. We'll be keeping a close eye on him."

The media of both countries both agree that the chances of their national team winning was only 50%, Australia did not dare to be arrogant, however, Japan had just proven their strength in the 2011 Asian Cup. Meanwhile, Japan also respects Australia as one of the great powers in Asian football.

The match between Australia and Japan will be held at the Brisbane stadium at 20.00 local time. This match was not only broadcast in Japan and Australia but also broadcast in other Asian countries such as Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia, Jordan, Oman, Iraq, Saudi Arabia, UAE, etc. The day before this match took place, South Korea had also finished playing in group A against Uzbekistan.. They won with an own goal from Shorakhmedov.
