Game Preview
The second date of the death group begins.
This Saturday, November 27, the match between the Japanese team and the Costa Rican team will be played. A game that seems to be very easy for the Japanese after the first game and from what Costa Rica has shown.
A win for history. This was what the first match of the Costa Rican team left us. Nobody expected such a painful stumble for the “ticos”. Those led by Luis Fernando Suarez arrived at their first game in Qatar with the most motivation as they had to face the Spanish team. However, everything would fall apart very quickly, since in just 20 minutes of play they already lost 2-0. The Costa Rican team and its coaching staff never knew how to find their game, they were easily surpassed by their rival and their most important figures never appeared. His midfield commanded by Celso Borges and Yeltsin Tejeda was never seen in the game, the attack with Joel Campbell and Anthoni Contreras never came to life, and perhaps the most worrying thing was his defense, with Oscar Duarte, Francisco Calvo and Bryan Oviedo completely out of place, as well as Keylor Navas, who had one of the worst games of his career.
Meanwhile, the Japanese team gave one of the surprises of this World Cup by defeating one of the favorite teams, the German team. The Japanese were never favorites, however they had the potential to hurt their opponent. However, everything was very different. The Germans started winning the game, but they did not expect that in the second part of the game the Japanese attack would be so strong. Players like Ritsu Doan and Takuma Osano changed the course of the game with two goals that would give the Japanese victory and put them second and already as big favorites in the group. Order and good chemistry was the perfect combination for the Japanese to get the result. We will see if it continues on this good path or if it is rather Costa Rica that washes its face after its disastrous first presentation.
