Japan finished the Asian Cup with a disappointing defeat at the final against Qatar. At the end of the tournament, what Japan can learn for the next years?
The Final Lesson of Japan
Historical, beautiful, deserved: Qatar wins a first ever Asian Cup
It was an impressive tournament and they deserved this title. With Almoez Ali and Akram Afif, Qatar became the 2019 Asian Cup winners, winning their first ever continental trophy.
Breaking the Blockade: Historic Qatar goes to the Final
Qatar got a hostile reception in Abu Dhabi tonight, but even that didn’t stop them from defeating the UAE 4-0. After qualifying to their first ever Asian Cup final, can they win again at the final against Japan?
The Lethal Samurais
At their previous matches, Japan needed only one good play that was worth a win. Today, they used their advantage in any possible moment and defeated Iran 3-0, all the way to the Asian Cup final.
Team Meltdown
Iran had the best chances to make history but once again failed to do so. After a bad match of Team Melli, Carlos Queiroz ends his era at the team with a sad defeat against Japan.
