The two favorites are out, Iran counterattacks Japan, and South Korea has a good chance to win the championship!
As the World Cup progressed, the final match of this World Cup also entered the white-hot stage, with Iran defeating Japan 2-1. Both teams finished in the top two of the Asian League, but they were eliminated early as Japan's grouping was not the best.
Shu Morita opened the first goal for Japan in the first half, and Iran led 0-1 just before half-time. Iran had plenty of chances to score in the second half, but after Azmoun tied Mohebi with the help of Azmoun, it was ruled out in extra time and Jahan scored a goal! In the end, Japan won this victory 2-1 and Iran managed to reach the 1 4 finals of Asian football.
Iran's offensive was made even worse by the red card of Iran's attacker Taremi. In addition to Taremi, there are two important attacking players, Azmoun and Jahan**sh, but compared to the previous four rounds, the role of these two forwards is still relatively small, although they are not very strong, but they do not pose any danger to the team.
Iran's size and height could help them a lot, as they conceded six goals, four of which came from overheads, which are Iran's weaknesses.
In the 28th minute, the Japanese made a short pass in the midfield, and Hidemasa Morita found a good moment to pass the ball, and then played a beautiful free kick in the middle! His shot went around the feet of Berranvand and went straight to the goal! Japan won 1-0 against Iran.
In the 62nd minute, although it was only almost offside, this tactic was the best for Azmoun, especially before the World Cup and the Asian Cup, he gave the Chinese team a lot of good chances in the second half, but they lost a lot without football.
Japanese defender Itakura, who was found guilty in stoppage time, won one of his three games, one of his two and one of his two games, conceded goals in seven games and committed two fouls, one of which was a foul on Kananizadegan before the end of the game.
Since the beginning of this Asian Championship, Japan has encountered all kinds of bad luck. The three eagle kings were already injured before the game, and Japan's Ona Suzuki Nagahiko made a series of mistakes, losing in the second round of the group stage, and Jun Ito broke the scandal of retiring from the team. On the surface, they have no hope of winning the championship, however, their opponents are just too bad, as you can see from this matchup. Moriyasu defeated the famous German-Turkish team once again to bring back the trophy that had been lost due to his lack of strength. This Japanese team still did not overcome the fear of physical confrontation, the fear of flowing water impact, and the lack of being good at the center. Japan's skills are good, Iran's fitness is better, and Iran's matchup is much better than Iran's.
In addition, Australia has been eliminated, the two most powerful countries have not entered the quarterfinals, Japan, South Korea, Australia, Qatar, many scholars believe that this World Cup will be a showdown between Japan and South Korea, but because Japan was eliminated, South Korea's competitors have greatly reduced their strength, and they have a chance to win the championship.
South Korea have good physical fitness, good at reversing, equalising, scoring goals, especially on penalties, and they also have targeted research for the opposition's special situation.
