Maki One Top?
Why do Okada, who is the Coach of Japanese National Team, and Amar, who was a coach of JEF, want to use Maki as the one top?
Of course, that the number of shoot were zero was terrible though, I know that they didn't hope him to get goal. The problem I'd like to pick up was that Yamase or someone said that he couldn't get the ball when he was toward the goal. That was that Maki's post play didn't work either, right?
I believe that Maki is bad at playing FW as the one top. He needs a partner FW who can run fast and through the DF line. Only when there is the partner, his strength and toughness can work and he can be the target. Paraguay was good at the defence so it was obiously difficult to work the one top system. I may understand the reason why they want to use Maki as the one top but...
You know, I didn't watch the game:-p
