[Coppa del Mondo | Analisi Gruppo E]Germany, Spain and Japan are the most popular in Group E

The draw for this year’s World Cup group stage was average and no group was clearly the “death group”. However, Group E has two great European champions, Germany and Spain. In addition to Japan, which is familiar to Hong Kong fans, and Costa Rica, which is not weak, Group E should be the most interesting group.

When it comes to the “death group” of this year’s World Cup, it is none other than Group E and Group H where Portugal and Uruguay are located. However, Group E has former champions from Germany and Spain, and Japan, which has always had a lot of fans in Hong Kong, should be more concerned about Group E.

As world champions in 2010 and 2014, Spain and Germany have experienced a period of exchange and reconstruction in recent years. Spain, led by Anliji, have abandoned the pitfalls and passed the ball. In recent years the style of play has become more direct and practical, and the two have performed well under balance. Spain only lost 12 yards to Italy in the quarter-finals of the European Cup last year, and the UEFA Nations League also entered the final and lost to France and took second place. The “Tower” with a talented team should not be underestimated.

2014 world champion Germany experienced a humiliating defensive trip to the last Russia. After losing to Mexico in the first match, the team went to the last match of the group stage and lost the initiative to South Korea. It was the first time since 1938. Out of the game. Germany moved from Lu Wei to Felix and the team attached great importance to the high pressing style, which appeared to be more aggressive and mobile. Germany have won 9 out of 10 games and scored 36 goals to qualify, and their strength has returned to seventy-eight.

While Japan may not be able to stop the European duo from qualifying, Hong Kong fans have always been attached to the “Blue Samurai” and their performance has also attracted the attention of the outside world. Japan, led by Mori Baoichi, was the first to announce the roster of 26 players. The lack of forwards such as Dao Yuyao and Furuhashi Kyogo has been controversial. Indeed, in recent years, Mori Baoichi’s leader has also been criticized for being too conservative and nepotistic: can he help Japan wipe out the World Cup crisis, or will he ultimately “eliminate Mori Baoichi” after the group stage?

As for the representative of Central and North America, Costa Rica naturally has less attention in this group, but after all they have the experience of reaching the top 8 in 2014, and they are also a “1 + 1> 2” type of team .
