In an international friendly match, the Japanese team defeated Brazil 3-2 at home, defeating its opponent for the first time in team history. Tang Anlu started the game and was not replaced until the 85th minute.

According to Goal.com, Tang Anlu was interviewed after the game to review the game.

Talk about the importance of this game

I think there are two aspects. First, for Japanese football, defeating a world-leading team like Brazil undoubtedly takes a big step forward for Japanese football and can create history. This day is worth remembering.

On the other hand, it is to strengthen our belief in winning the World Cup. We still have to stay awake after the victory, after all, only defeating them in the World Cup is the best way, although it is still unknown whether the Brazilian team will maintain its current form in the World Cup. We still have to brainstorm and review the game when we get back. Although we can't celebrate this victory now, we have to say that today is really a good day.

Talk about the Japanese team's counterattack in the second half

In the second half, we made some adjustments to our tactics. In my words, we were "fighting with bayonets" against the opponent. Judging from the results, we also successfully reversed the game. It is really difficult to predict everything on the football field.

At the beginning of the first half, there were some negative emotions due to the absence of some main players, and it felt that there were not many players who could be rotated. Therefore, Minamino Takumi and I shouted to our teammates, saying that we should turn negative factors into positive motivation.

Talking about the impact of the reversal of Germany and Spain in the last World Cup on this game

There must be some impact. We all joked that we would use the "Qatar tactics". Closer to home, the score of 0-2 once made us feel a little tricky. It would be okay if we only conceded one goal. This was our experience in previous games against Spain. It's really great to be able to complete a 2-goal reversal, but we still have to reflect on these two goals.

Talk about team progress

There is no doubt that when playing against opponents who are stronger than ourselves, we will feel full of motivation, and we will no longer be afraid when playing against big-name players. No matter who the opponent is, we can treat it with a normal heart and deal with it without fear.

However, I don’t think we can discuss it one by one. This game was a victory obtained by “fighting the bayonet” with the opponent. When we go back, we still have to watch the game video for review.
