Japan, which has confirmed its advance to the World Cup finals, has excluded a large number of key players. However, Indonesia's response is not good.바카라

Japan's Soccer Digest Web reported on the 26th (Korea time) that "Indonesian media expressed anger over the Japanese national soccer team's change of 14 players."

The Indonesian TV1 News reportedly said, "The Japanese national team has recruited the second tier team. The Japanese national team coach, Hajime Moriyasu, is still ignoring the Indonesian team. I am confident that I can beat the Indonesian team even if I fight as a second tier team."

Japan will play the 9-10th Asian qualifying round for the 2026 FIFA World Cup in North Korea and the U.S. next month. It will leave Australia on June 5 and face Indonesia at home on June 10. Japan, ranked first in Group C, has already won six wins and two draws (20 points) and has already won a ticket to the World Cup finals in North Korea and the U.S.

Instead of making all-out efforts, the coach also decided to recruit a large number of young players to give them experience. European players such as Kaoru Mitoma (Brighton) and Takumi Minamino (AS Monaco) have been excluded, and as many as seven players, including Ryunosuke Sato (Pazinao Nokayama), who was born in 2006, have been selected for the first time for the A-team. Compared to the list in March, a whopping 14 players have changed.

In this regard, the Indonesian media pointed out the lack of respect for the other team.

Unlike Japan, however, Indonesia needs to win. It is currently ranked fourth in Group C with two wins, three draws and three losses. The competition is fierce. Australia at the second place has 13 points, Saudi Arabia at the third place has 10 points, while Bahrain at the fifth place and China at the sixth place have six points. The ranking table may be reversed depending on the results of the remaining two matches.

Asia is given 8.5 tickets in the North-China-U.S. World Cup. Six teams ranking first and second in each of the three groups can advance to the World Cup finals. The six teams ranking third and fourth in each group must be divided into two groups for the fourth qualifying round. Only the first team in the fourth qualifying round will be given the berth. The two teams ranking second in the fourth qualifying round will have a showdown, and the winning team will be able to compete in the playoff by continent, which is the "last gateway."

Indonesia's realistic goal is to finish in the top four of the third qualifying round, enter the fourth qualifying round, and play well afterwards.

Even if Japan is in a bad mood by forming a second-tier member, it is not necessarily bad considering the goal of advancing to the World Cup. If Indonesia wins against Japan, it can move one step closer to its World Cup goal. Soccer Digest Web also noted, "It is hard to see why the Indonesian media reacted so sensitively."
