Game info Brazil vs Japan

 

Putting the final point on its tour of Asia, Brazil makes this Monday, June 6, friendly against Japan. The duel is part of the preparation of the two teams aiming for the 2022 Qatar World Cup. The meeting point will be the National Stadium in Tokyo. The ball is expected to start rolling at 10:20 UTC

 

Japan
Japan officially opened its preparation for the World Cup, in which it was entered in group E counting as opponents in the first round Germany, Spain and the winner of the duel between Costa Rica and New Zealand on Thursday, June 2. He also chose a South American team, but he did not get a spot at the Qatar World Cup as an opponent. In Sapporo, he thrashed Paraguay 4-1.

 

The result was compatible with the much superior performance of the owners of the house in the confrontation. The Japanese, who had control of the pelota for 60% of the time, created almost three times for finishing (28 to 10) and showed a wide advantage also in the right shot index (10 to 4). It took them a while to overcome Paraguay's defensive block. That only happened in the 36th minute. Recounting Haraguchi's pass, Asano scored. However, the advantage was extended only six minutes later. I try from Kamada with doan's assistance.

 

In the second half, the Paraguayans took it out in the 14th minute through Gonzalez. However, there was no time to think about reaction. Just the next minute, Mitoma scored the third Japanese try from Haraguchi's second assist in the game. In the 40th minute, Tanaka completed the service after receiving kamada's pass. The Japanese still had the luxury of wasting Doan's 25th-minute penalty kick.

 

The result extended the team's undefeated streak to eight matches. Started in October 2021, the series has seven wins and an equality. In the meeting against the Paraguay anide, coach Hajime Moriyasu rode Japan with a line of four defenders, three midfielders and three strikers.

 

Brazil
The Asian season of the Brazilian national team also began on Thursday, June 2, however, in South Korea. After some initial difficulty, Brazil ended up applying a 5-1 rout in the South Koreans in what was supposed to be the first friendly in a series of three. However, with the cancellation of the match with Argentina that would take place in Australia, the duel against Japan on Monday ends the training stage of June of the team led by coach Tite.

 

Against South Korea, the team created more than triple the chances for finishing (25-7) and, although it could not maintain the same proportion, also led the index of shots on target (9 to 6). He opened the scoring in the seven minutes when Richarlisson's assist was assisted by Fred. The home owners were able to return the equaliser in the 31st minute through Ui-Jo. However, Brazil were definitively imposed from neymar's penalty kick in the 42nd minute.

 

In the second half, the team Canarinho's advantage was also extended through a maximum penalty, again converted by Neymar, in the 12th minute. In the 35th minute, Philippe Coutinho, fired just two minutes earlier from the bench in Neymar's spot, scored the fourth goal. In the 48th minute, Gabriel Jesus, another who started between the reserves and was fired in place of Raphinha, completed the service.

 

For Monday's clash, it is quite likely that Tite will promote some changes in the squad giving opportunity to act to athletes who did not have much time in the match against South Korea. However, this is unlikely to alter the tactical structure of the team.
