The greatness of Japan’s national team is told through numbers – The strength of Kaoru Mitoma, Wataru Endo, and Kou Itakura cannot be measured just by the ball possession rate seen in the match against England.

What was the “true strength” that the Japanese national team showed in their match against the English national team? We will explore Moriyasu Japan’s level of perfection and individual strength, which cannot be explained by superficial ball possession rates and stats alone. Kaoru Mitoma’s breakthrough ability is not just dribbling, but has evolved into a “tactical weapon” that breaks down the structure of the opponent’s defense. Through dueling and positioning in the midfield, Wataru Endo controlled the flow of the match and thwarted his opponent’s attacks. Akira Itakura displayed calm responses and accurate judgment on the last line, denying freedom to England’s powerful attacking line. In this video, we will focus on “strength,” “coordination,” and “judgment,” which are hard to see in numbers, and thoroughly explain why the Japanese national team is able to compete evenly or better against the world’s strongest opponents. We will dig deeper into the true nature of “strength that is not a coincidence” from the content of the match.
