Japan's pride, which was proud of being the strongest in Asia, was shaken.
Japan's Soccer Digest Web said on the 5th 'Will the Brazilian national team use its main force in the match against Korea. There is a risk of participating in the preparatory group in the match against Japan, he reported.
The Japanese national team, led by coach Hajime Moriyasu, was only a disappointing performance in the A-match in September. He declared his World Cup victory and took the first step on his journey to the World Cup stage beyond the Asian stage. But coming back was a below-expecting performance. The shocking result of one draw and one loss greeted Japan.

Japan, which had a 0-0 draw against Mexico, lost the subsequent match against the United States 0-2. In both games, the performance was not satisfactory. For the first time in two years, Japan has faced only its shortcomings in a showdown with a continent other than an Asian country. Japan, which scored 30 goals in 10 final qualifying matches, could not be seen against Asian countries with more than one power gap. He has never been able to shake the net against strong players in Latin America.
Since the poor A match in September, FIFA's ranking has fallen to 19th place. It is contrary to how he rose to 15th place. Ranking wasn't everything. The performance check to be shown in the finals was important. Therefore, the performance to be shown in the face-off against the A match opponent in October was important.
However, concerns have emerged. It is Brazil's plan to start the game. Japan's concerns grew as the prospect of sending out the main team first in the match against South Korea and the prospect of sending out candidate players in the match against Japan emerged.

The Soccer Digest Web said 'Brazil will clash with South Korea on the 10th and Japan on the 14th in an away match in Asia in October. Japan also drew attention because world-class players were called up. Which team will the best member be used against Korea or Japan. In general, the main player is often used in the first game. Coach Hajime Moriyasu did the same. Brazil may also use its best member in the match against Korea.
Ancelotti said in an interview after Alisson's recent departure from injury that `I will use Ederson in Seoul and Ugo Souza in Tokyo.' As this could be a statement that could put a little more weight on the match against Korea, Japan also drew attention to the statement. However, it is unknown how Ancelotti's plans will change and how he will release field players, with Ederson also dropping out due to injury, John Victor on board.

Soccer Digest Webb said 'Japan wanted to go head-to-head with Brazil. There is a risk that it will be a match against the waiting group. Nevertheless, Brazil is Brazil. The fact that players with high-level personal skills play remains unchanged. Meanwhile, some Japanese fans may not be able to meet properly", "We didn't get in first," he said, expressing regret.
Meanwhile, Japan has some power loss in this October's A-match, so it seems that it will take considerable effort to take care of both the results and performance. Since Kaoru Mitoma was replaced in the aftermath of his injury against Chelsea on September 28, he has been dropped from the national team as he is not yet in normal condition to play. The departure of Mitoma, the main force, is painful for Moriyasu. Attention is focusing on whether such absences will be a variable against Brazil.
