In the first match of the Asian Cup, Japan will play against Vietnam. There are also Iraq and Indonesia in the group, but there is no doubt that Japan is the absolute favorite of this group, as well as one of the main candidates for the highest ranking in this tournament. The form of Japan lately is really incredible and the results they are achieving in the last matches are unreal. In the last 10 games, they have the same number of victories, with an unreal goal difference of 45 goals scored and only 6 goals conceded. In addition to matches against Asian teams such as Syria, Thailand and Jordan, they achieved convincing victories against significantly better teams such as Germany, Canada and Turkey. Each of those teams scored 4 goals, which speaks volumes about the strength of this team. They have a great generation of players at their disposal and coach Moriyasu obviously knows how to use it in the right way. I sincerely expect that they will start this match in the strongest lineup with players like Mitoma, Ito, Minamino, Endo, Nakamura and others, whose quality is really not comparable to the Vietnam players. As for Vietnam, it is a very weak team, which realistically cannot boast of any excessive quality. In the last match against Japan, they played 1-1, as part of the qualification for the World Cup, but it is important to note that Japan played that match without any imperative to win and in a mixed lineup, considering that they had already qualified. I expect the complete dominance of Japan, because the difference in quality is really huge, and knowing the Japanese style of play, I believe that they will want to win as convincingly as possible at the beginning of the tournament.

在亚洲杯的第一场比赛中，日本队将对阵越南队。小组中还有伊拉克和印度尼西亚，但毫无疑问，日本是这个小组的绝对热门，也是本届锦标赛最高排名的主要候选人之一。日本队最近的状态令人难以置信，他们在最近几场比赛中取得的成绩令人难以置信。在过去的10场比赛中，他们的胜率相同，进球数相差45球，失球仅为6球。除了对阵叙利亚、泰国和约旦等亚洲球队外，他们还在对阵德国、加拿大和土耳其等实力强得多的球队时取得了令人信服的胜利。每支球队都进了4个球，这充分说明了这支球队的实力。他们拥有伟大的一代球员，森康教练显然知道如何以正确的方式使用他们。我真诚地希望他们能以最强的阵容开始这场比赛，像Mitoma, Ito, Minamino, Endo, Nakamura等人，他们的水平真的无法与越南球员相比。对于越南来说，这是一支非常弱的球队，实际上他们不能吹嘘自己的实力。在上一场与日本队的比赛中，他们打成了1比1，这是世界杯预选赛的一部分，但重要的是要注意，日本队在那场比赛中没有任何取胜的必要，而且他们的阵容是混合的，因为他们已经获得了世界杯预选赛的资格。我预计日本队将完全占据统治地位，因为在实力上的差距确实很大，而且了解日本队的打法，我相信他们会在比赛开始时尽可能地赢得令人信服的胜利。
