The match will take place at the Gelora Bung Karno Main Stadium (SUGBK), Jakarta, November 15, 2024. Ueda is known to be absent from the match due to an injury he suffered while defending Feyenoord.

Moriyasu emphasized that the playing pattern will not change with the absence of the sharp striker. He emphasized that the Japanese National Team still has many strikers such as Koki Ogawa and Kyogo Furuhashi.

“I think our playing priorities as a team will not change. From the moment we steal the ball,
we will attack behind the opponent or towards the goal, start moving, and di stribute the ball,
then who will be in charge of scoring goals,” Moriyasu said as reported by Soccer King, Saturday (11/9/2024).

“I don’t think it will change even if Koki Ogawa plays at the (far) post, and if Kyogo (Furuhashi)
comes out, I think he will be able to match the cross from a more pushing position, but he will do it,
able to trick the opponent,” continued the man from Japan.

Ancelotti says Mbappe is “sad but motivated” at Real Madrid.

Furthermore, Moriyasu admitted that his players have di fferent characteristics or playing styles. However, he still asked his players to focus on the planned game scheme.

“I want all players to be able to win the ball, and if they can’t, go back to the original pattern. So I think the way we play as a good team, it won’t change,” said Moriyasu.

“Our priorities and how we utilize our characteristics may change, but I don’t think the way
we play as a team will change. We have players with di fferent characteristics not only in the front line, but also in the midfield and defense,” concluded the 56-year-old.

After playing against Indonesia, Japan will visit the Chinese National Team headquarters on November 19, 2024. Meanwhile, the Red and White Team will host the Saudi Arabian National Team at the same time.
