The Japanese national team, who has become the J-League All-Star team, has given a dignified victory over the Hong Kong national team. Defender Araki Hayato (28, Hiroshima) skillfully led the line in the center of the three-back.
It was a loud voice and accustomed to it. In addition, they were attacking unilaterally in the first half, and were not often chased by defense. However, there was a time when Hong Kong was revived in the second half, and in the 14th minute of the second half, they conceded a goal from a corner kick. It was a satisfying match, but there were also challenges.
Not only did they not get a connection to the cross ball, but the mark was missed. As a result, Hong Kong forward Or, who pushed him in, he was in front of him, and he regretted, saying, “I think it's up to me to concede the goals.”
This was a game that took place in two days since J1 last weekend. Even though we didn't have time, “In principle, anyone can do the ball point and switch between the ball, so we discussed how we all do it together.”
Hiroshima's teammate Kawabe Shun joined the midfielder, so the offense and defense were smooth. “It was fun and I was happy. There are some aspects of players I know that are familiar with, so it was easy to do,” he recalled.
The next match against China will arrive on the 12th and 3 days. “It's not a bother because it's always a series of games, so it's not a problem. From here on, it will lead to the World Cup, so I want to do my best to boost the national team (player base),” he said enthusiastically.
