In the November series, which will be two consecutive away games, the Japanese national team will play against Indonesia in Jakarta. If they can win back to back, including the next match against China, they will go a long way towards qualification, but this time they have reached an agreement with Indonesia, who have no. a lot of overseas players too, and the game will be played. Friday. It is an advantage to have more time than before to adjust situations and use tactics. In addition, the first team’s entry into the country was later than expected due to travel issues, and their meeting times were inconsistent, but it seems that coach Hajime Moriyasu will be able to reduce the impact and bring out the best option that he thinks is better. on the parking lot.

■ Will Ogawa be the starter in Ueda’s absence? What is the possibility of Furuhashi and Ohashi being appointed?

(C) OBJECTIVE

Having said that, two players, striker Kiyo Ueda (Feyenoord/Netherlands) and centre-back Shogo Taniguchi (Sint-Truiden/Belgium), who have been in the starting lineup for the four matches of the tour final qualification, hurt because This lack is a cause for concern, and it is also an important point that calls into question the decisions of Coach Moriyasu. It is expected that they will continue to use 3-4-2-1, but Koki Ogawa (NEC Nijmegen / The Netherlands) is the first candidate for the main position. Even though he has continued to play late in the game, he has scored in away games against Bahrain and Saudi Arabia, showing his mental strength.

There is a lot of enthusiasm in the area, and the 78,000-seater Gelora Bung Karno stadium is expected to be packed with Indonesian supporters, but Ogawa also commented on the environment, saying, “Indonesia’s football fever has been amazing since recently.” so Saudi Labia was amazing, but I think it’s even more interesting.

Takumi Minamino (Monaco/France), who has been in the starting lineup for all four games as a shadow player 2, commented on how to use Ogawa, saying, “There are some similarities with (Ueda) Kiyo , but I think his characteristics are a little different, like the way he moves in front of the goal.” often I think you should just watch him move in a dynamic way and use his body in front of the goal as a striker. ” he looks forward.

In addition to Ueda, Takuma Asano (Mallorca/Spain) is also out through injury, as was the case last time, but Kogo Furuhashi (Celtic/Scotland) has been called up for the first time in around a year and he will play in the match against Indonesia There are also high expectations. Junya Ito (Stade Reims / France), who I know from my university days, said, “I know how good he is, and he’s good at going through and in those moments . He is also good at moving in front of the goal. and getting into crosses. It is simple.

If Ogawa, who has been a joke until now, is appointed to the starting lineup, the options for the bench members will naturally change. Basically, the back three and the midfielders are fixed, and substitute cards are likely to be used behind the left and right wings, two shadows, and one up top. ), which has been called since the last time, may be preached sometime. Ohashi can play not only at the top but also in the shadows, so it will be interesting to see what choices Coach Moriyasu makes depending on the flow of the game in a position where there are unique talents like Takefusa Kubo (Real Sociedad / Spain) available.

For the back three, will someone be put in the center instead of Taniguchi, or will Ko Itakura (Borussia MG/Germany), who has been playing at center back, be brought in and the right vacant position filled by another player? Itakura said, “If my team is going to play three, it’s going to be in the middle, and if anything, I haven’t been playing it on the right, so I think that I can respond smoothly there.”Itakura will play defense from the middle.

If Itakura stays on the right, Hiroki Machida (Union Saint-Giroise/Belgium) will be on the left as before, and 20-year-old Kouhiro Takai (Kawasaki Frontale) or Ayumu Seko (Grasshopper/The Switzerland) in the middle. . It can be accepted. However, if Itakura puts someone in the center and on the right, Daiki Hashioka (Luton Town/England), Yusei Sugawara (Southampton/England), and the extra call Daiki Sekine (Kashiwa Reysol) seem to have a chance. There are a lot of options here, and as Coach Moriyasu evaluates the team from practice and determines the starting lineup he may have a lot to do with selecting future members.

■ Completely away, with many natural players…What are the main points of the game against Indonesia?

The Indonesian team, led by Korean coach Shin Tae-young, has a history of being a Dutch colony, so there are many natural players from the Netherlands, with 16 players from abroad and 11 from Europe. In particular, the defensive line includes Ogawa’s colleague Kalfin Verdonk, Italian Serie A player Jay Itzes (Venice / Italy), former Cerezo Osaka player Justin Hubner (Wolverhampton / England), and gives attack Sandy from behind. ・ European agencies such as Walsh ( Mechelen / Belgium) available. Kevin Dykes (Copenhagen/Denmark), who has newly obtained Indonesian nationality, will be added to the team, and it is possible that he will make his debut against Japan.

Many players have become naturals this year, and most of the key players have changed from the AFC Asian Cup in January, which Japan won 3-1, but Kubo said, “They have a lot of international experience, and we are a strong team. .”I think there are some players, but on the other hand, there are a lot of new players, so we always say that the national team doesn’t have much time to get to know each other , and I think we are a more mature team in that respect.” As Japan says, I think the collaborative aspect is where the company’s strengths lie.

Even if it is a completely away game, if Japan can be ahead from the start and score the first goal no matter what, they should be able to change the atmosphere in the stadium. Also, the local heat and humidity is a big enemy, but this is also common on the Indonesian side, where there are many foreign teams, including European teams. It can be assumed that the second half will be relatively open, but first they need to suppress the opponent’s target man, FW Rafael Struijk, and take advantage of the gaps in the physically strong back five I want to go
