Germany vs Japan

Germany had some troubling years and that's was because of the Coach Joachim Low, who is a legend for the National Team but his time was over for quite a while and because of some bad results they finally made the change and got Coach Hansi Flick who came from Bayern Munchen where he won everything and with him Germany started to play much better even they still had some up and down's performances overall. They ended their qualification group in 1st place with 9 wins and 1 loss and 36-4 in goal, the loss came under Coach Joachim Low, it was pratically that loss that sentenced him and under Hansi Flick they smacked everyone in their group without any problems, scoring tons of goals and rarely suffering goals. Germany success always depends on the Bayern Munchen core players and this tournament will not be different, they have Neuer, Kimmich, Goretzka, Musiala, Sane and Gnabry from Bayern and the very good news for them is that Bayern in the last month started to play on a very high level once again after starting the season in bad shape, so things should be just fine now for Germany under that core. However, there is a bad news for Germany, Sane will be missing the game.

Japan got here after ending their qualification in 2nd place, 1 point behind Saudi Arabia in a bit of unlucky situation, they were leading the group in the last game and only got a 1:1 draw at home against Vietnam in a game where Japan dominated big time, they just weren't able to score goals with all their chances what is their biggest weakness in my opinion, they play well collective football but they are really poor on scoring goals, they only managed to score 12 goals in 10 games in that group stage against really poor competition. Japan doesn't have those big stars in their National Team but they play really well together has an collective and have good players like Endo, Kubo, Kamada, Minamino and Maeda for example.

No one is giving this Germany team many chances to win the tournament at all and that's dangerous, that's when Germany usually surprises everyone and personally the way that Bayern has started to play lately will give Germany a big boost in terms of quality, since the main core of this team are with Bayern players but also the rest is rock solid, they have a solid defensive line with still an elite Goalkeeper in Manuel Neuer and one of the best defenders in the world in Rudiger and it will not be easy for Japan to break that wall against Germany and that combined with the poor quality on scoring goals it will not be easy for Japan to score against them and on the other side Germany attack should be able to score multiple times here, they have the quality but they are also very physical and in set pieces they will for sure cause many problems to Japan too, overall I see Germany getting the win here, even I do like this Japan team but overall this is a bad match-up for them, Germany likely to win this game by 2:0 or 2:1 in my opinion.

Good Luck

德国vs日本

德国队经历了一些麻烦的年份，那是因为教练勒夫，他是国家队的传奇人物，但他的时代结束了很长一段时间，因为一些糟糕的成绩，他们最终做出了改变，聘请了来自拜仁慕尼黑的教练汉斯·弗利克，他在拜仁慕尼黑赢得了一切，在他的带领下，德国开始踢得更好，尽管他们的整体表现仍有起伏。他们以9胜1负，进球36-4的成绩以小组第一的成绩结束了预选赛。这场失利是勒夫教练治下的，实际上正是这场失利给勒夫判了刑，在汉斯·弗里克治下，他们毫无问题地击败了小组里的每一个人，进了很多球，很少有进球。德国队的成功总是取决于拜仁慕尼黑的核心球员，本届杯赛也不例外，他们有来自拜仁的诺伊尔、基米奇、戈雷茨卡、穆西亚拉、萨内和纳布里，对他们来说非常好的消息是，拜仁在赛季开始状态不佳的情况下，在上个月再次开始了高水平的比赛，所以现在德国队在核心球员的带领下应该会很好。然而，对德国来说有一个坏消息，萨内将缺席这场比赛。

日本队在出线前排名第二，落后沙特阿拉伯1分，情况有点不太幸运，他们在上一场比赛中小组第一，在主场1:1逼平越南，在那场比赛中，日本队占据了主导地位，他们只是没能利用所有的机会进球，这是他们最大的弱点，在我看来，他们踢得很好，但他们在进球方面真的很差。在小组赛的10场比赛中，他们只打进了12球，对手非常糟糕。日本国家队没有那些巨星，但他们在一起踢得很好，有一个集体，有像远藤、久保、镰田、前田这样的好球员。

没有人会给这支德国赢得比赛的机会，这是危险的，这是德国通常会给所有人带来惊喜的时候，就我个人而言，拜仁最近开始的比赛方式将大大提高德国的质量，因为这支球队的主要核心是拜仁球员，但其他球员也非常坚实。他们有坚实的防线，守门员诺伊尔是精英，后卫鲁迪格是世界上最好的后卫之一，日本要打破这堵墙对德国来说并不容易，再加上他们的进球质量很差，日本要对德国进球也不容易，另一方面，德国的进攻应该能在这里多次进球。他们有实力，但是他们也很有身体素质，在定位球上他们肯定会给日本队带来很多麻烦。总的来说，我认为德国队会赢得这场比赛，即使我喜欢日本队，但总的来说这对他们来说是一场糟糕的比赛，在我看来，德国可能会以2:0或2:1赢得这场比赛。

祝你好运
