They may have just fallen short of making their first ever quarter-final, but Japan’s performance at the 2022 World Cup was one of the biggest stories of Qatar, topping a group containing two of the three previous world champions in Spain and Germany, beating both of them in the process - a feat made all the more impressive by the fact that both opponents had Champions League-winning managers in the dugout.
But perhaps Japan’s success in the winter tournament shouldn’t have been a surprise. They made the semi-finals at the Tokyo Olympics just 18 months earlier, beating France 4-0 en route and only losing after extra-time to a strong Spain side once they got there.
Furthermore, a number of Japanese players are putting in star performances across the top leagues. Daichi Kamada was crucial to Eintracht Frankfurt’s Europa League triumph in 2022 and is enjoying another superb season in the Bundesliga this term; Kaoru Mitoma has quickly establishing himself as one of the Premier League’s most exciting players following his move to Brighton; and Takefusa Kubo is already a pretty experienced La Liga forward at the age of 21, with his performances for Real Sociedad this season helping propel them to third, giving the Basque club real hope of qualifying for the Champions League for the first time in ten years.
These, of course, are just a few examples of what some have described as the country’s golden generation. But why did it take so long for the world’s third-largest economy to produce such a brilliant crop of players? What is the secret to their success in 2023? And what does the future hold? On today’s EFD Explained, we’re going to find out.

Japan has a serious and ambitious project I like it. I think they’re underrated and disciplined. I wish Mexico could do something similar. Mexico has lots of talent, they win youth world cups or at least compete for them from U-17 to U23 level. And win tons of other youth tournaments. Mexico actually beat Japan for the Bronze medal in Tokyo. But they’re far from having a serious project like Japan. The JFA and J league are doing everything to improve and develop talent. Selling cheap to Europe and the federation with goals in mind. In Mexico, the talent is there but clubs overprice players preventing European moves. Also despite Mexico being a youth world power the Mexican clubs don’t develop or give opportunities to youngsters enough. Football in Mexico is just a business, and a giant corrupt mafia. I admire the way Japan runs it’s football. Disciplined players, a fair system, youth development, and an ambition to actually win and improve.

I'm absolutely with you. Mexico has so much amazing talent, it's a waste for the whole world that such talents are not getting the proper treatment they should receive within their own country. The main difference between Japan is probably that football has always been really big in Mexico whereas it was next to obsolete in Japan until 1992. The Japanese FA had to make good moves, quickly and consecutively, in order to survive against the predominantly popular Nippon Professional Baseball league. They had to grow the sport and expand its fanbase from nearly scratch, while Mexico already had a full grown football dynasty on their hands. I guess Mexican club owners and FA executives were able to make huge profits without making any new efforts because they had no serious competition, and that may be the source of their lack of motivation and enthusiasm for reformation. I have no idea how to fix it, but I surely am hoping Mexico to rise soon as the next football powerhouse in the future. Personally, I want to see more Mexican players playing in European leagues, because that's the only way we could witness Mexico's football talents! Wish you well, from Japan.

Smart European clubs are looking to both the J League and MLS for talent. Both leagues are also spots for players living in nations that do not have very well funded domestic leagues to go and get some exposure to try and make a leap to Europe. Look at this window, Jhon Duran played like half a season for Chicago Fire before getting bought by Villa for $18m U.S., Bayern discovered Alphonso Davies playing at Vancouver a few years back, and so on. The establishment of free development academies in these countries (at least MLS academies are free for sure I couldn't quite confirm for Japan but I think they are) will send dozens if not more quality footballers to Europe over the next several years, and those numbers will continue to rise.

An interesting fact: when the Japanese sought to implement a pro football system back in 1980s, they originally sent students to study Spanish, German, Italian and English model. In the end, the Japanese concluded that the Spanish system was too hollow and very dangerous for senior side. The English model focused too much on money instead of professionalism. The Italian model was plagued by mafia and bribery. Therefore, the only preferable model for the Japanese was the German Bundesliga. The Japanese borrowed from the Germans and then used the same German scheme for their football ever since, starting with the J.League 1. The same Germany that did help Japan to activate its modernisation program under Emperor Meiji a century ago and then joined the same Axis in WW2. Only this time, it has proved to be a correct decision, and the Japanese continues to do football business exclusively with the Germans ever since. Also, an unwanted fact: teams that beat Japan in World Cup round of sixteen tend to falter or even collapse in subsequent years (and could take a very long time to recover). Turkey beat Japan in 2002, then slowly declined and has not seen a World Cup since. Paraguay beat Japan in 2010, and since then Paraguay has been unable to qualify for a World Cup since. Belgium beat Japan in 2018, and just four years later, Belgium failed in World Cup and declined from prominence. RIP Croatia, you should have lost to Japan.

I think one aspect that is not mentioned or thought of is the physical size. The size discrepancy between Asians and Non-Asians used to be wider, but nowadays young Asians are nearly just as big as others. A squad of mostly 4 cylinder engine cars can only do so much against V-6s and V-8s. When the size gap is closed up then so is the result on the field. Watching WC 2022 one can see the Japanese and Korean players are quite similar in size to all others too, unlike years ago… OK, and yes, as a smaller guy this doesn’t mean he can’t be good enough to overcome this deficit (like Messi, Maradona, Romario, Pele, Peter Beardsley, etc) but when nearly everyone on the team is small then that’s an issue for a group sport which requires certain areas to have certain specialized physical strengths and attributes.

Agreed. A good line of thought and comparison is Japan vs Spain. Spain, too, like Japan, has their athletic talent pool for football reduced significantly by the popularity of basketball and what ended up happening is a lot of the bigger-sized/ taller athletes go for basketball. As such, the Spain football team has been historically smaller in size among European standards. And despite fostering a culture and playing style that emphasizes technique and intelligence over physique, they still needed physically imposing players like Ramos, Pique to rescue them in defense against big strikers and score set pieces. The CDMs like Marcos Senna (EUR 2008) and Busquets are no slouch either in the physicality/ size department.

Mexico has the most potential because of their 1) economy, prior to Contrary to popular belief mexicos economy isn’t that bad and their federation makes the most money out of any because all they care about is money, 2) their population, there football crazy nation they should be producing as much talent as Brazil and Argentina but don’t because of corruption and the many foreign players in their league and 3) the many Mexicans born in the u.s. this gives them even more of a talent pool. It’s sad really how mediocre Mexican football is. I’m Jen u see places like Japan that around surpassed Mexican football in the modern era and it makes it worse. It’s a shame really.

Guess it depends how you define "talent". Most of their players can't cut it at the highest levels of European football till today, at any one point it's probably just under half of their starting XI that are decent quality.

Blue lock is an anime or manga which is suitable for people who like football Blue lock is more on egotism as japanese national football team lack of striker who is able to score the winning goal (striker’s talent was restrained due to the collectivism)

For an asian fans, we have known about japanese development in football since long time ago already. Theyve reached 1 goal, then moved on to another goal. Thats always been the case with Japan. Starting from forming a full profesional team, and then leagues, participating 1st world cup, sening players to europe, and the list goes on and on. Their planning has always been realistic in that its always long term goal. Always believing to always work hard and be consistent with the steps originally laid out in the masterplans. I also believes that Japans rivalry with South Korea also contributes towards this success because when one creates somethings, the other one will follows as well. Koreans also send 1st player to europe about the same time as Japan in Cha Bum Kum. Creates profesional league. Thats why both the team always have similar level performance.

@clubeyxander5132 7 ай бұрын

I'm sorry to point this out, but the existence of South Korean soccer has never had anything to do with the development of Japanese soccer, and it's the same the other way around, too.

@user-ft3uh7hb3x 7 ай бұрын

The media just used Korea as a rival to stir things up. I think the Japanese teams really don't want to fight with Korea because there is a high probability that they will get into trouble if they fight with Korea. Tomiyasu's teeth were knocked out by a Korean player's misunderstanding of violence.

Its very cringe for me as a japanese to say this but I think our personality helps a lot cuz the players are humble so they just continue to make efforts to get better and better every single day. Thats why they can continue to grow without any football system as good as top european countries and also modern managers see discipline as important so that suits us.

@whyvern6817 Жыл бұрын

yeah it certainly helps because of the work ethics and discipline of Japanese in general. Once a player breakthrough in Europe usually a lot will come after, seems to be the trend with Asian Footballers
