Tokyo Saitama (t) football stadium, which can accommodate 63,700 people, was a special stadium during the 2002 Korean and Japanese World Cup. It was packed on August 1, 2008.

This stadium is bigger than Stamford Bridge. For this game, the Japanese media and officials have long been building momentum. Chelsea's halo of European champions and the title of being called the most powerful Japanese national team in history have attracted enough attention from the Japanese. Of course, for many Japanese male and female fans, being able to appreciate Chelsea No. 9, the craziest genius star in Europe now, and the performance of idol worshipped by many Japanese fans is the most important thing!!

Japanese national team coach Takeshi Okada attaches great importance to this game. Although this seems to be a commercial game, Takeshi Okada does not mind defeating the European Champions League championship in such a game to give his precarious coach position and throw a huge weight!!!

Therefore, the head coach of the Japanese national team Takeshi Okada also recalled all the international players who played in Europe--

Shunsuke Nakamura who plays for the Celtics in the Scottish Premier League;

Regina, a big black general who plays for Serie A;

Junichi Inamoto who plays in Frankfurt, Bundesliga;

Kato Okubo and Makoto Hasegawa who play for Wolfsburg in Bundesliga--

The head coach of the Japanese national team, Takeshi Okada, has only one purpose, that is, to win the game against Chelsea! to clear his name!!!

Japan's first list (4-4-2):

Goalkeeper: 1-He is righteous;

Defender: 2-Abe Yuki, 4-Tanaka Hashi King, 6-Uchida Atsuto, 3-Nakazawa Yuki

Midfielder: 8-Taeyuki Imano, 10-Shunsuke Nakamura (Celtic), 7-Junichi Inamoto (Frankfurt), 13-Makoto Hasegawa (Wolfsburg),

Forward: 22-Okubo Kazuki (Regina), 20-Okubo Kato (Wolfsburg),

Takeshi Okada arranged the 4-4-2 formation that the Japanese team is used to in this game.

In this game, all Japanese overseas players started the game. The Japanese attached great importance to this so-called commercial game and their determination to win are evident!!

Uh... When the business competition is not in business, it is worth looking forward to!!

Chelsea's starting lineup (4-4-

Goalkeeper: 1-Peter Chech

Defence line: 35-Beletti, 2-Ivanovic, 26-John Terry, 3-Ashley Cole;

Midfielder: 5-Michael Essin, 20-Deco, 8-Lampard, 10-Jokore

Forward: 9-Andre, 7-Shepchenko

In this game, Scolari arranged for Ivanovic to start at the center back, and Deco also started for Chelsea for the first time. This will be the best opportunity for this former Barcelona player who has been labeled as Scolari's confidant to clear his name!!
Chapter completed!
