With the Australian referee's whistle, the third round of Group A of the 2010 South Africa World Cup Asian Qualifiers, Japan's home game against China, officially began.
Keisuke Honda passed the football to Shinji Okazaki next to him, and then slowly ran forward.
Shinji Okazaki, who got the ball, quickly put his body in front of Gao Lin who was grabbing the ball, preventing him from kicking off the ball.
Stealing the ball immediately, in order to avoid making a mistake, he passed the ball to Shunsuke Nakamura.
Gao Lin did not give up, but pushed Shinji Okazaki away who was blocking him, turned around and ran towards Shunsuke Nakamura who was holding the ball.
Shunsuke Nakamura, who was holding the ball, did not dare to be careless.
He moved the ball to the right with the outside instep of his right foot.
After catching up with his body, he passed the ball to his partner Makoto Hasebe with his right foot.
Gao Lin suddenly stopped and changed direction and rushed to get the ball.
Hasebe Makoto, the latter did not dare to be careless when he saw this, and directly raised his right foot to open the ball.
Gao Lin jumped up instinctively, trying to block the ball with his body.
But what he didn't expect was that Makoto Hasebe's move was not for a rescue, but a fake move.
Hasebe Makoto quickly retracted his right foot and moved the ball to the right with the outside of his instep, showing his calm side and showing off his footwork to the Chinese players present.
Of course, Makoto Hasebe, who shows off his foot skills, also has this capital.
Japan's century-old reform in the 1990s has laid the foundation for the style of their national players to learn from Brazil, which won the World Cup four times at the time, and take a technical route of ground passing and control.
This is also in line with the characteristics of the Japanese at that time.
They are short, thin, and lacking in strength.
But everything has two sides.
They are better at being flexible at the feet, so it is right to stick to the technical route.
They can make full use of their short stature and flexibility at the feet.
Characteristics, if they had insisted on using their bodies to compete with other teams, then the Japanese team would not have become the number one team in Asia today.
Today, Japan has adhered to the technical route for almost 20 years.
Their players generally have good foot skills and a strong sense of cooperation, especially the midfielders.
The current No. 10 Nakamura Shunsuke is the representative.
In the Champions League group stage last season There was a free kick from an absolute blind corner that broke the goal guarded by Edwin van der Sar.
Takeshi Okada, who was watching the game from the sidelines, crossed his arms and looked at Makoto Hasebe who was improvising with a smile.
He was indeed the main midfielder of the Bundesliga giants Wolfsburg, facing the fierce pressing of the Chinese team.
And calm and calm.
After Makoto Hasebe passed Gao Lin, he still had time to look up and observe the situation in the frontcourt.
Shinji Okazaki had not reached the position yet, and Yasuhito Endo was pulling aside, which was not suitable for passing the ball, so he used his right foot to pass the ball again.
He pulled back, but at this time Gao Lin had already rushed over again, with a posture that he would not give up if he couldn't grab the ball.
In order to avoid losing the ball and continue to show off his skills with his feet, Hasebe Makoto dunked the ball towards his own goal with his right foot, dodged Gao Lin's extended foot to grab the ball, and knocked the football forward with his left foot.
Fried meatballs "The players from the beautiful Empire of Japan are all very good, but the players from China were fooled around by Makoto Hasebe."
The commentator on the Japanese TV station looked so excited that his eyes almost popped out.
After passing Gao Lin, Hasebe Makoto has three options: pass back to the central defender, pass across to Shunsuke Nakamura, or move forward.
However, at the moment he hesitated, Hao Junmin, the main right winger who played for Schalke 04, was already close to Shunsuke Nakamura, which meant that he could only pass to the center back or make a big-footed clearance.
Ouch ouch Hearing the cheers erupting from the stands, Hasebe Makoto changed his mind and used the change in rhythm to move the ball forward, forcing Gao Lin to speed up and intercept.
Immediately, Hasebe Makoto slammed the ball back with the heel of his left foot, dodged the space, and then twisted his body back, preparing to use the outside instep of his right foot to slam the ball in the opposite direction of Gao Lin, which would allow He completely got rid of Gao Lin.
He firmly believes that Shinji Okazaki and Yasuhito Endo have already reached their positions.
When the time comes, they will directly assist and score, then he will be a national hero.
Thinking of Ai Luo's remarks before the game, I became more and more dissatisfied.
Isn't he the World Footballer?
Football is a team sport.
You are powerful alone, can you be more powerful than a team?
"Danger" At this moment, Nakazawa Yuji's exclamation came to Hasebe Makoto's ears.

After the kick-off, Ai Luo followed the starting tactics discussed with Gao Lin, Hao Junmin and Zhao Xuri before the kick-off and headed towards the Japanese team's half.
However, Aiello is not confident enough to grab the start this time.
Japanese players are very good at foot skills, especially the midfielders.
There is a saying in the outside world: Japan's midfielders are world-class, defenders are first-class in Asia, and forwards are Horrible.
There is a reason for such words to come out.
Gao Lin's attack looked relatively clumsy against Japanese players, and he was tricked by Shunsuke Nakamura and Makoto Hasebe one after another.
But Aiello soon discovered that Makoto Hasebe is a player who has a strong desire to perform.
Especially after the stands erupted in cheers, he who was originally preparing to pass the ball actually showed off his skills with his feet, which made Aiello aware.
A glimmer of hope that the ball can be intercepted and counterattacked.
So Aiello rushed towards Hasebe Makoto without hesitation.
He had a hunch that he would definitely dunk the ball back. really Hasebe Makoto, who was moving forward, suddenly stagnated as Gao Lin accelerated.
Isn't this a prelude to dunking the ball back?
The frequency of Ai Luo's feet gradually increases to the fastest.
As long as Hasebe Makoto dunks the ball back, it will be time to steal the ball and counterattack.
Yuji Nakazawa stood at the central defender position and opened the angle for Makoto Hasebe to pass the ball.
But what surprised him was that the latter had no intention of passing the ball at all, but showed off his skills at his feet.
At this moment, Hikaru just happened to see Iroh running up from the far side.
His target was Hasebe Makoto, who was about to turn around after his speed stagnated.
As an experienced captain, he instinctively exclaimed at Makoto Hasebe without knowing the consequences.
Immediately, Makoto Hasebe, who twisted his body back, smelled a hint of danger.
As Wolfsburg's main midfielder, he naturally knew the danger of losing the ball in the ball position, and prepared to move the ball to the right with his right foot.
Using the flexibility of his ankle, he firmly wrapped the football with his right foot and dunked it in front of him.
If Hasebe Makoto faced ordinary forward players, he might have succeeded, but he faced Ai Luo Ai Luo's speed is usually described as flying with lightning and chasing the wind, which is enough to show how powerful his speed is.
When Nakazawa Yuji reminded Hasebe Makoto, the two were still two meters apart.
By the time Hasebe Makoto realized the danger, Iroh's right foot was less than half a meter away from him.
Standing off the court, Takeshi Okada suddenly realized that Makoto Hasebe was about to make a mistake.
The stands that had erupted with huge cheers just now suddenly dropped because Iroh was getting closer and closer to Makoto Hasebe, as if the sound was suddenly turned down.
The expressions on their faces slowly solidified, and after half a second, they turned into panic.
At the moment when Makoto Hasebe spiked the ball, Ai Luo stretched his long right leg forward and had a foot toss with the latter.
Since Makoto Hasebe temporarily changed into smashing the ball in front of his body, his strength was naturally insufficient, and he was naturally incomparable with Iroh, who came at high speed.
Football was taken away abruptly "Danger" "Chance" At the same time, the Japanese commentator and Duan Xuan in the live studio blurted out at the same time, and there was an obvious contrast in their expressions.
As a defensive midfielder, Makoto Hasebe should not dribble the ball in front of the central defender, because this is an extremely dangerous and sensitive position.
As long as it is intercepted, the chance of losing the ball will exceed 80%.
Ouch ouch The Chinese fans who came to the scene seized the moment when the Japanese fans lost their voice and shouted loudly.
After Aiello hooked the ball, he adjusted his feet slightly, then moved the ball forward, directly facing the central defender combination of Yuji Nakazawa and King Tanaka.
Gao Lin and Hao Junmin also showed their impressive speed at this time.
Although there is a big gap compared with Ai Luo, they still have a big advantage against Japanese players, especially when Ai Luo dribbles the ball forward.
Under such circumstances, Yuji Nakazawa and King Tanaka Yuji did not dare to show any slightest care.
How could they care about Gao Lin?
Nagatomo Yuto quickly returned to the defensive left rib to prevent Aiello from passing the ball to Hao Junmin, who was advancing at high speed, while the right back Atsushi Uchida chased back in a panic, but how could his speed compare with Aiello?
The current situation is equivalent to three-on-three in the frontcourt.
In the blink of an eye, Aiello dribbled the ball thirty meters away from the Japanese team's goal.
Nakazawa Yuji knew that he could no longer retreat, and there was King Tanaka behind him to protect him.
At this time, the referee for the foul would give him a yellow card at most.
It is very cost-effective to exchange a yellow card for a successful defense.

Iroh is very experienced, so he doesn’t know what Nakazawa Yuji thinks about not retreating.
While playing for the ball, his right shoulder suddenly sank.
Nakazawa Yuji instinctively stretched his right foot to trip Ai Luo.
At this time, the corner of Aiello's mouth raised slightly, and the moment he touched the ball with his right foot, he poked it with his toe, and the football flew between Nakazawa Yuji's legs.
Nakazawa Yuji, who had already stretched his right leg, had to react a second time and closed his legs.
But it was too late, the football went through the crotch and Aiello passed by at high speed from the left side.
Uchida Atsuto, who recovered, wanted to reach out and pull Ai Luo, but he only caught a ball of air Facing Tanaka King Tanaka who came over to defend, Ai Luo didn't even look at it and directly passed the ball to the penalty area.
Everyone knows that the Japanese team is going to be finished Kawaguchi Noshuo stood alone on the line of the small penalty area without any courage to attack.
It wasn't until captain Nakazawa Yuji roared loudly that he turned around to chase after him that he rushed out.
At this moment, Aiello picked up his right foot fifteen yards away from the goal, and the football rolled against the turf toward the far end of the goal.
Kawaguchi, who was sluggish, could instinctively throw to the left, but the forward acceleration of the football on the water-sprinkled turf was faster than the speed of his body pressing down.
The football almost rolled into the net against the right goal post. 0:1:
