Reasons for the change of Japanese football team list in Hangzhou Asian Games in 2023
The 2023 Asian Games in Hangzhou is just around the corner, and all teams are preparing for it. As the representative team of Asian football, the strength of the men's soccer team in the Asian Games in Japan should not be underestimated. Previously, the Japanese Football Association has announced the big list of participating in the Asian Games, but recently, the Japanese Football Association announced that the big list of teams has changed.
Because U20 Asian Cup striker Wang Xiongtian Naoki was injured and chose not to quit, Tsukuba University striker Uchida Hangtaro was selected as a substitute, and the Japanese men's soccer team went all out to attack the Asian Games men's soccer champion.
It is not difficult to see from this list that Japanese men are mainly J-League players and college students, and it is expected to train young people while attacking the Asian Games champion. The Japanese men's football team has not recruited players who are currently playing in overseas leagues. This change in the lineup shows the determination and confidence of the Japanese team.
Although some experienced players failed to make the big list, the Japanese head coach is still full of confidence in the strength of the team. In the face of Japanese men's soccer, China men's soccer team must go all out with veterans like Lei Wu, so that it is possible to defeat their opponents.
