National team: Why has the Japanese national team become so strong? The reason
Speaking of the Japanese national team, it was a country that could not score or win in friendly matches, and did not even have a professional soccer league. When the J-League first started in 1993, it was mocked by Europeans as a pension league. However, the professional league continued to develop and grew into the top league in Asia. It was not only the J-League that grew, but also the Japanese national team.
