Analysis of Japan vs Brazil World Cup Match

Very simple, right? What are the defenders doing? Let's be honest sometimes

Japan wanted to conserve energy to go into that extra time for whatever reason

I don't know you have five subs to make after they can see this goal that's when

they made two extra players come in too late you're playing Brazil you're

showing them so much respect when Brazil play Colombia it don't go like this oh

they're getting kicked they're getting pressured they're getting beat like but

you showing that mad respect and that comes from you can see by the goal how

much respect look at this right there

Look at where the two defenders are, look at where Martinelli is, Martinelli standing

between you two, you're not marking anybody, you're marking Martinelli, you're marking

Martinelli, okay, now are you going to play him off sides or are you going to go closer,

you don't go close enough, you're trying to block a shot that the guy is not even going

to shoot from that position, I think this loss is definitely on their coach, some on

the players but definitely on their coach, their game plan was we're just going to, even

the first 10 minutes, they allowed Brazil to have the ball the whole time and I don't

want someone to come on this and be like you don't know ball, just shut up, please, shut

up, if you can hold the ball.

pass the ball and

You took the lead

by pressing Brazil

Why would you not do that constantly?

Why would you come to the World Cup and try to conserve energy?

Why would you come to the World Cup and pay so much respect to teams?

I get it. Maybe the first 10 minutes. Maybe the first half you can do that. I this is Brazil

Let's sit back. Let's wait, but after that is done if you take the lead you got to play your own game

Bro, that guy is not close enough

That guy's not even close enough

They were playing as if they were just trying to conserve, you know, let's get to extra time. Let's get to penalties

But if you play like that at the World Cup

Nobody has won the World Cup playing like that. Oh, let's just get to penalties. Let's just get to

It's the worst way you can play a tournament

Worst way, make the changes.

You see a team is being more lackluster in the midfield, Casemiro's literally on a yellow

card and none of your players, you don't instruct your team to be like, all right, press him.

He's on a yellow, press him.

Target this guy, play one twos around him, force him to be frustrated and play another

foul.

Eventually, when a player gets frustrated in the midfield, if he's not getting the ball,

he's not getting his way, he's going to be so frustrated that he's going to play a foul

again.

But this, it's on their coach, man.

They played a good game, but that guy won the ball, he could have cleared it right away.

But because they are so deep in their own half.

Playing defensive football, you can't conserve...

I don't understand this.

When you play defensive, you burn a lot of energy because you're moving side to side,

side to side.

The best way to conserve energy is to hold the ball.

Possession football is the best way to be defensive and to conserve energy because if

we have the ball, I pass it to you, you pass it over there.

We're not moving, we're not running around.

That's the best way to conserve energy.

So Japan, go back to the drawing board, go do your thing.

You do have very good players.

I thought maybe this year you guys would have made a deeper run, but hey, Brazil showed

why they're Brazil, and Ancelotti shows why he's Ancelotti.

Ancelotti is not even fazed by the goal, he's just like...

All right, it's 2-1.

You go in.

Let's try to kill this game because you've seen this so many times, so many times.

Angelotti saw his team score three goals and saw the other team score three goals again

to tie the game and lose that game.

So ever since then, Angelotti knows football, anything can happen.

But the one constant is that you have to run.

You have to make those little sacrifices.

You have to press the other team.

You have to ask the questions to the other team.

That's what Angelotti knows.

He knows you have to create your own chances.

You have to create your own luck.

How do you think Madrid was winning games late every time when Angelotti was there?

Because he understood that.

He told his players that.

If you are creating chances on chances on chances, eventually one of them will fall.

Eventually will score eventually will break down their defense

It don't matter how much defense you play if we keep shooting at you and you're not doing the same to us

Eventually we will score

very simple

So Japan good game

Congrats to Brazil moving to the next round this World Cup so far is

People's predictions like teams that are supposed to go home are definitely gonna start going home

That's Cinderella story, I don't see it at this World Cup. I don't see that. Oh

This team we didn't even expect Wow they go

If you playing too much defensive and you showing too much respect you will go home. Oh you will

Now the World Cup starts

32 teams

You so well

Japan go home man. It's okay
