Why has Japanese football developed so fast in the past ten years and what is it related to? Fans are invited to express their opinions.

Japanese football was actually not as good as Chinese football in the 1980s or even the mid-1990s. But since Japan entered the 1998 World Cup, especially when it was about to host the 2002 World Cup, Japanese football has risen. Specifically, there are five conditions for the rise of Japanese football.

First, the economy is strong. If a country's football wants to thrive in the long term, it is inseparable from the economy. Asians do not have the qualities of Africans, the agility and skills of South Americans, and the overall tactical awareness of Europeans. So it was difficult to gain a foothold in international football at the beginning. Because Japan has strong economic strength, it hires excellent coaches with high salaries to coach the national team. Every year, the world's best clubs are invited to Japan to participate in competitions. For example, the previous "Toyota Cup" and other competitions. In addition, no expense is spared to withdraw outstanding players from training and competitions abroad.

Second, Japan has spared no effort in building a professional league. In view of the fact that the level of the Japanese league was not high at the beginning and the skills were not good. Japan has taken the following measures. On the one hand, it introduced outstanding players. At first, it mainly used high salaries to attract famous foreign stars to join the J-League. Then the domestic clubs send outstanding players to play in European and American leagues. If they are unable to play the main role at the beginning, these players may dare to serve as substitutes, or simply play in the second-tier leagues of these countries. In short, it finally opened up the international market.

Third, Japan pays attention to the construction of football echelon. The Japanese Football League ranges from community, elementary school, high school, university, amateur and even J-League. The echelon construction is perfect and the levels are clear. I am especially impressed that Japan actually broadcasts live broadcasts of elementary school and high school leagues. You can watch this video on Youku. Doing so provides the professional league with high-quality talent and high-level football talent. On the other hand, our players are recruited from sports schools, professional second teams or provincial teams, and the quality of the personnel is incomparable.

Fourth, the Japanese are serious about their work, which is reflected in their meticulous attention to daily training and competitions in football. It is even more difficult to hear about match-fixing and black whistles in the Japanese football world.

Fifth, Japan resolutely inherits Brazil’s style. This has a lot to do with their people's physique, league style and historical traditions. The Japanese are short and thin and are suitable for playing a fast technical style of football, which suits their league. Moreover, there are many Japanese immigrants in Brazil, and Japan and Brazil are somewhat similar.
