Bisnis.comSOLO – The Spanish national team will meet the Japanese national team in the round of 16 of the U-17 World Cup today, Monday (11/20/2023).
The two will face each other at the Manahan Stadium at 19:00 WIB, with different statuses.
Spain can be proud to have emerged winner of the group with 7 points after beating Canada and Mali.
Meanwhile, Japan sits third in Group D after winning against Poland and Senegal and losing 1-3 to Argentina.
Even if the points scored are fairly balanced, Japan’s play should not be underestimated. The team coached by Yoshiro Moriyama could be the dark horse of the 2023 U-17 World Cup.
Spain must be wary of Rento Takaoka, who managed to be a strong player for Japan to qualify for the round of 16 this time.
On the other hand, Spain has the footwork to pass the ball well. Unfortunately, the back line of the team coached by José María Lana is still being tinkered with.
This match was the first between the two teams.
