How big an impact will Takehiro Tomiyasu’s non-participation have on the Japanese national team? In this video, we look at the challenges facing Moriyasu Japan, who have lost their defensive pillars ahead of the games against Scotland and England. Tomiyasu’s absence will not only change the lineup on the final line. The Japan national team’s entire defense could be affected, including interpersonal defense, line control, build-up exits, and composure during difficult periods. Still, this crisis also provides an opportunity for the Japanese national team to show its new strength. The match against Scotland will be a test of the defensive ability to make corrections. The match against England is a stage that will show how far Japan can compete against world standards. How do overseas media and overseas fans view the Japanese national team? Will Tomiyasu’s absence be seen as a weakness? Or will it be reevaluated as a response to overcome a crisis? This video explores this perspective in detail. Please watch till the end. #Japan National Team #Japan Soccer National Team #Takehiro Tomiyasu #Moriho Japan #Overseas Reactions #Scotland Match #England Match #Kirin Challenge #World Cup #SAMURAIBLUE
