Why did Germany lose to Japan?

The reason why Germany lost to Japan was exposed! Two major factors, too underestimating the enemy+the coach is conservative. In the group stage of the 2022 World Cup, Japan scored two goals in the second half after falling behind 0- 1 in the first half, and defeated Germany 2- 1, which created a big upset in this World Cup. Judging from the current ranking of Group E, Spain and Japan scored 3 points, of which Spain ranked first with goal difference, Japan second and Germany third. Next, Germany will face Spain. For Germany, this game is a life-and-death battle. If you lose, you may be out early.

Looking back at the match between Germany and Japan, it can be said that Germany took the initiative in the first half, especially in the possession rate, which helped Germany score goals. In the second half, the German team maintained a good state at the beginning, which put some pressure on the Japanese team on the offensive end. However, Shuichi Gonda, the goalkeeper of the Japanese team, performed well and saved the German team's shot many times. However, the German team could not attack for a long time, and its mentality gradually changed. At this time, Hajime Moriyasu, the head coach of the Japanese team, made frequent substitutions until all the substitutions were used up. Hajime Moriyasu's substitution directly changed the direction of the game, with Tang Anlu and Asano Nagaakira Tomo coming off the bench.

The result of this game still surprised many people. When Germany led by 1-0, people generally thought that Germany would beat Japan, but the actual situation was just the opposite. The Japanese team gave a loud slap to those who didn't like them. So why was the German team reversed? Zhang Lu, a well-known domestic football commentator, directly pointed out the reason why Germany lost. First, Germany underestimated its enemies. In the first half, Germany's possession rate reached 8 1%, while Japan only had 19%. Under such a disparity, Germany has not made much adjustment, because in Germany's view, maintaining such a state should win the game, but Germany still overestimates itself. And German coach Frick, who was somewhat conservative in the first half.

After taking the lead, Frick replaced Muller early. It is this idea of underestimating the enemy that leads to some problems on the offensive end of the German team.
