In the friendly match before the 2024 Asian Cup with Jordan, Japan also won 6-1.
Stars compete in Europe
Currently, the Japanese national team has a “golden generation” with a series of players playing in Europe’s top national championships. Among them are Takehiro Tomiyasu (Arsenal), Kaoru Mitoma (Brighton), Wataru Endo (Liverpool), Takefusa Kubo (Real Sociedad), Takumi Minamino (AS Monaco), Ritsu Doan (Freiburg), Takuma Asano (Bochum)…
Most of the stars playing football in Europe are the mainstays of the Japanese squad in the 2024 Asian Cup. With their class, they are enough to make Vietnam’s defense miserable.

Experience in major tournaments
Another factor that helps Japan “destroy” the Vietnamese team is the experience they have gained after years of fighting in top tournaments. The team from the land of the rising sun is one of the “big men” of Asian football. They have regularly participated in the most recent World Cups.
At the Asian Cup, Japan is also the most successful team with 4 championships.
