In the latest international football match, the high-profile Lionel Messi did not appear in China, while the Japanese team was given the opportunity to play. This surprised many fans, and at the same time sparked a discussion about the strength of football and the status of players in both countries.
Although Messi has many fans as the top star in world football today, he did not appear in China in this competition. Instead, the Japanese team was given the opportunity to play. This begs the question, why is this happening?
First of all, we need to recognize that football is a global sport and every country has its own strengths and weaknesses. Although Messi is a superstar in world football, his strength is not irreplaceable. Japanese football, on the other hand, has come a long way in recent years, with their players improving significantly in terms of technique, tactics and fitness. As a result, they were given the opportunity to present themselves on the international stage.
Secondly, we need to recognise that football is a team sport. Messi is great as an individual player, but the success of a team depends not only on the strength of individual players, but also on the cooperation and cooperation of the whole team. Japan showed good team spirit and tactical awareness in this tournament, which is one of the reasons why they were able to get the chance to play.
Finally, we need to recognise that football is a sport that is constantly evolving and changing. Over time, the level of football in various countries has been improving. Therefore, we should look at the football strength and player status of different countries with a more open and inclusive mind.
In conclusion, the phenomenon of Messi not playing in Japan tells us that football is a global sport and each country has its own strengths and weaknesses. We should look at the football strength and player status of different countries with a more open and inclusive mind, and at the same time, we should encourage and support the development of football in each country.
