Участник:Focus on the match against Indonesia."
Japan will play its third Group D match against Indonesia led by head coach Shin Tae-yong at 8:30 p.m. on the 24th (Korea time) at Altumama Stadium in Doha, Qatar.
The two teams, which have three points with one win and one loss side by side, will face off for second place in the group.
Japan, which is ranked 17th in the FIFA rankings, is expected to win easily, but it cannot afford to let its guard down. Japan suffered a shock loss of 1-2 to Iraq, which was ranked 63rd in the last two rounds.
Indonesia, ranked 146th, is much lower, but there is a variable that Shin Tae-yong, who is good at killing giants, is leading the team, such as beating Germany 2-0 at the 2018 World Cup in Russia.
"We lost against Iraq, but we are preparing for tomorrow's game with our players. We will have a good game," Moriyasu said at an official press conference before the game on Sunday at the main media center. "We are building a good history of Japanese soccer. We will focus on the game against Indonesia."
In addition to winning against Indonesia, he also covered goalkeeper Suzuki Zaion (Sintrauiden), who has been suffering from sluggish performance recently.
Suzuki, who is mixed race, is suffering from racial discrimination among Internet users. "This should not happen. I think it is a violation of human rights. In soccer, we must become one. Suzuki is a valuable player."
"Indonesia will pour everything into it," said Takehiro Tomiyasu, a key defender who was present at the press conference as a major player with Moriyasu. "As a defender, I allowed two goals every game, but I aim for no point in this game."
Meanwhile, if Japan beats Indonesia on the same day to confirm the second place in the group, there is a possibility that it will meet South Korea in the round of 16.
The second place in Group D in the tournament's match table will meet the first place in Group E. If South Korea wins a big victory against Malaysia on the 25th, the round of 16 in the Korea-Japan match can be achieved.
