At the East Asian E-1 Championship, the Japanese national team (15th in the FIFA ranking) challenged the four-back after changing the system during the match against Hong Kong national team (153rd in the FIFA ranking).

Moriyasu Japan has been working as a 3-back player since last year's World Cup (World Cup) Asian second round of the North and Central America Tournament. This tournament, which was played only by domestic players, started with three backs, but in the 32nd minute of the second half, with forward Miyashiro Daishiro (25, Kobe), he replaced defender Mochizuki Henry Kaiki (23), who made his debut as a national team player. From left, Koga Taiyo (Kashiwa), Araki Hayato (Hiroshima), Ando Tomoya (Fukuoka), and Mochizuki lined up. This was a try to expand the range of team tactics.
