Nadeshiko Japan (Japan Women’s National Team) faced Iceland during the European tour on November 25, local time, and Futoshi Ikeda’s first team was completely defeated 0-2.[Photo]”Cool” Nadeshiko Japan-specific special team bus Japan, which ended in the quarter-final defeat at the Tokyo Olympics, was replaced by Asako Takakura, who led to the 2018 U-20 Women’s World Cup (W Cup) victory. .. Last month, we held a domestic training camp for about a week and faced the first round of the European expedition in the Netherlands. Japan started with DF Saki Kumagai playing in Germany and FW Mana Iwabuchi playing in England on the bench, and DF Saori Takarada, who can also play with a striker, was appointed as the left side back. Midfielder Hikaru Naomoto and midfielder Fuka Nagano, who were not selected at the Tokyo Olympics, were appointed as starting members, and midfielder Yui Narumiya became the national team debut. In Japan, however, the offensive and defensive balance was unbalanced from the beginning. Midfielder Yui Hasegawa entered the low position in the center from the left side and made a game, but a halfway ball lost occurred in the middle of the first half 14 minutes. It was deployed in the space where Takarada, who had taken a high position, could not return, and the response of Grace was delayed and he was brought into the penalty area as it was, allowing the first goal. After that, the number of scenes in which Japan entered the enemy’s camp increased, but in the final phase of the attack, there were too many people around the ball, so there was no space and it was messy and it was impossible to bring in a shot. Japan finished the first half with 0-1 without making a decisive chance.
Director Ikeda evaluated that he “tried” in a short preparation period.
The situation did not change much after half-time, and in the 12th minute of the second half, Ikeda replaced Naomoto and Narumiya with midfielder Rin Sumida and midfielder Hinata Miyazawa. However, at 12:26, when the 2nd top was removed from the press to the opponent’s final line and a long ball behind Takarada was kicked in, it was brought vertically as it was. Then, the last pass to the center was easily kicked in and the lead was widened to 0-2, and the defeat continued. After the match, Manager Ikeda said, “The players tried in a short preparation period on the pitch. I want to sort out what I could and couldn’t do. I saw the combinations and combinations of the players. There was also. I would like to evaluate the correction on the defensive pitch. ” And for the match against the Netherlands on the 29th local time, he said, “First of all, I would like to improve the condition and correct the place where the compact defense was broken by a big development.” In addition, Hasegawa, who had many ball touches on the pitch, said, “The result is 0-2. It was a match that I had to win, and the content and results are still unclear.” The next thing I got is. (Netherlands) There is a player who is faster and has breakthrough power. I want to deal with it and put out better things such as the scene of breaking because I did not score today. ” bottom. In Japan, where the players’ play was not organized until the end, the difference with the Europeans that was highlighted at the Women’s World Cup and the Tokyo Olympics in recent years can be clearly seen, and it is a difficult departure for Ikeda. It is had.
