The Australian media, which met Japan in the World Cup qualifying round, gave a desperate prospect.
Australia will play against Japan in Group C of the third Asian qualifying round for the 2026 North-China World Cup at Saitama Stadium in Japan on the 15th.
Australian sports media "ROAR" said, "Can Australia park a bus? We can do everything we need to get a result in Japan," adding, "We need to secure a point by deploying an extreme defense strategy."
Australia, which is inferior in objective power, is successful even if it scores just one point away from Japan.
Japan has maintained its dominance by scoring nine points from all three matches. It beat China 7 to 0, Bahrain 5 to 0, and Saudi Arabia 2-0. It is the "gangster of Asia" with 14 points lost in three matches.
Australia is ranking second with one win, one draw and one loss. Group C includes Australia, Saudi Arabia and Bahrain with four points, while Indonesia at fifth place also has three points.
Australia suffered a shock loss of 0-1 to Bahrain in the first match and ended up with a 0-0 draw against Indonesia. Australia replaced manager Graham Arnold and changed its coach to Tony Popovich. Australia defeated China 3-1 in the last match, successfully reversing the mood for now. 메이저놀이터
But Der Roar remained pessimistic.
"Australia recently won 3-1 against China, but there seems to be a clear problem with the squad. The harsh reality is that the defenders have more points now. Currently, the Australian offense lacks experience and depth. The squad selection is so bad," he lamented.
Der Roar recommended five hundred. "It may be best to use a 5-2-3 formation that worked successfully when Belgium beat Japan 3-2 in the 2022 World Cup. The Australian squad is so inexperienced and lacks depth that there is not much to do. It's no surprise if we don't find a breakthrough," he said, also appearing to have already given up on the victory.
