Violent Aesthetics Stuns the Japan Team!

Conceding so early completely disrupted Japan's plans.

In Japan Head Coach Takeshi Okada's original plan, Japan was supposed to take advantage of home-field advantage and score first, then use the fact that their opponents were behind and forced to attack in search of an equalizer to kill off the match with rapid counterattacks!

Yet unexpectedly, events unfolded in the exact opposite direction from what he had envisioned.

Not only had Japan failed to score, they had instead conceded to their opponents.

With that, his pre-match tactical plan had practically gone completely bankrupt.

Not only could Japan no longer lure the snake from its hole, they now had to venture into the Chinese team's dragon's den themselves.

That Chinese counterattack just now alone showed how formidable the Chinese team's counterattacking ability was.

To make them take such a huge risk and attack a team that was exceptionally skilled at counterattacking...

Takeshi Okada could not help but feel uneasy. He was truly afraid that the disastrous defeat from the previous match would be repeated right on his own doorstep.

"Ah, what a waste, what a waste!"

Over in the Chinese team's coaching area, Zhu Guanghu had none of the worries troubling his japanese counterpart.

But when he saw that the first goal had actually come from a counterattack, he slapped his thigh hard, feeling that he had been muddleheaded.

He had clearly known that Japan would go all out against them in this match and would certainly launch a fierce assault on the Chinese team.

So why had he not arranged for the faster Yu Hai and Qu Bo to play?

With their speed down the wing attack, combined with Lin Feng's excellent passing, wouldn't the Chinese team's counterattacks have been unstoppable?

Unfortunately, he had not called up either of them!
