Inter Milan s rival Urawa Red Diamonds sparked global heated discussions: huge tactical board obsession, as a strong man, must attack

In the first game of the Club World Cup, Inter Milan failed to defeat Monterrey. In the final battle of the

group, the Blue and Black Army will face the strongest opponent of the group, River Plate. Therefore, Inter Milan will strive to win in the second round to avoid unnecessary risks.

At this moment, Italian media are not very interested in the Japanese team Urawa Red Diamonds. They are more willing to report transfer rumors, such as Rashford, Nico Paz, etc., even if there is not much substantive thing in these rumors at the moment.

However, Inter Milan's rival Urawa Red Diamond is the focus of hot discussion among media such as FIFA's official website and European Argentina. This is because some of the practices of this team are quite different from the mainstream European and South American teams that people often use on TV, and are quite fresh.

may wish to introduce it. There are three things about Urawa Red Diamond that have attracted the attention of global media and FIFA officials.

First of all, it is the enthusiasm of the fans.

Japanese media revealed that in the first match between the River Plate team, about 5,000 Japanese fans entered the court, and the second match between Inter Milan, it is expected that more Japanese fans will be available.

In theory, this number of people is not worth making a fuss. Although the first match between Inter Milan and Monterrey is not high (the Rose Bowl Stadium, which can accommodate 89,700 fans, has 40,300 fans entering the court, so the stadium looks a bit empty), there are also many fans wearing Inter Milan shirts.

But the media still praised Urawa fans, mainly for their "passion".

It is reported that there are thousands of fans among them, who are hardcores who "turned 7744 kilometers" with the team. In Urawa's first match against Riverbed, Riverbed had more fans (the Seattle Lumen Stadium, which can accommodate 68,740 people in this game, only about 12,000 fans entered the court, of which about 7,000 were Riverbed fans). But throughout the game, Urawa fans, with relatively fewer players, took the initiative. When Urawa fell behind by 2 goals in 48 minutes, their voices became even more powerful. After the game, River Plate player Gallop praised: "I didn't expect Urawa fans to be so outstanding." Another riverbed player, Persera, said: "We are a little uncomfortable with such low attendance on the spot because the team is used to playing under the gaze of fans all over the court... but they keep cheering for the team for 90 minutes, which is impressive."

These words have been emphasized by FIFA officials. It may be that Infantinos, they hope that the low attendance rate of the Club World Cup will improve.

The second is that Urawa's insistence on using the "huge tactical board" rather than electronic products, which has caused heated discussion. In the first game of the group, when Urawa made a substitution, the team's coach Scalza and the assistant coach used a huge tactical board to write and draw on it, and arranged tactics for the players behind.

This quickly attracted the attention of TV stations and European media.

The guest of the TV station asked: "Will you not leak the secrets with such a large tactical board? Not to mention the opponent, even the fans on the sidelines can easily understand the above route."

TA reporter Andy Jones joked, "With such a huge tactical board, you don't have to buy a tablet."

In Europe and South American Leagues, coaches generally use electronic products to preach tactics in pre-match meetings. When making substitutions on the spot, if you want to talk about tactics, you will generally use gestures that others cannot understand. Even if you are forced to dictate, you will often cover your mouth with your hands to avoid leaking secrets in the opponent's array.

Then why does Urawa Red Diamond insist on using this method that is easy to leak? According to assistant teacher Nobuya Ikeda, "This is more like a ritual and inheritance." Maybe it is because most Japanese players are growing up in high school and college. This "tradition" is something that Japanese footballers think is very important.

On the social media, many Japanese fans said: "Is this still called football without it?" "The iPad is not the justice of the green field"... This is an obsession that many other teams cannot understand.

Third, Urawa team does not think it is the weak side. It insists on attacking and pressing, which makes the opponent not very understanding.

After the first match of the River Pearl team defeated Urawa Red Diamonds 3-1, many River Pearl players were caught by Japanese media in an interview and asked: Why?

midfielder Fernandez said: "We are a little surprised by Urawa's style of game. Usually, relatively weak teams will strengthen their defense. If they really tighten their formation in front of the goal, we will be very difficult. We were ready to face intensive defense before the game, but the openness of the opponent's playing style was beyond our expectations... I respect the opponent very much, but to be honest, it is very easy to score 3 goals, not difficult at all."

The River Plate team also has players who have changed their types and better. The statement expressed the same meaning, for example, the veteran nicknamed "Piti" said: "Urawa Red Diamonds are very brave. I think they are a team that can not only motivate themselves, but also motivate teammates. This is a very important quality. Although they have some defensive problems, they only think about attacking and threatening our defense line, which is admirable."

The first game in the group, although the Han Pak team won a big victory, the ball ran for a longer time in Urawa's "Occurrence Three". Urawa's game strategy has caused a lot of heated discussions with the weak rivals but the attack of moths to the flames.

Why is this happening? Whether it is the Japanese media or the general Urawa, most people believe that Urawa Red Diamond is the strongest in the Club World Cup, with the goal of being the top four, so the strong should "stand to their own game style."

However, Urawa lost three headers in a row, showing that the team has certain problems in air defense, top-strike, and set-piece routines. This may be a place Inter Milan can use.
