Hajime Moriyasu is leading Japan to another world cup qualification. The Samurai Blue have not been as dominant in their qualifying fixtures this time around with defeats to Saudi Arabia and Oman. They still have the second automatic qualifying slot in their grasp but have a stiff challenge from trailing Australia.

Predicted XI: Shuichi Gonda (GK); Yuyto Nagatomo, Maya Yoshida,Yuta Nakayama, Sei Muroya; Takumi Minamino, Genki Haraguchi, Ritsu Doan; Takefusa Kubo, Yuya Osako, Kyogo Furuhashi

He first popped up on Inter's radar whilst on a football tour of Italy, where he scored five goals in his eight matches. Piscopo subsequently joined the Nerazzurri as a 12-year-old and steadily progressed through the ranks. The 2014/15 term was a real standout for him, however, with the languid playmaker finishing the campaign as the club's top scorer at U17 level.

Things unfortunately didn't go so well in

2015/16, with a fractured ankle severely derailing his campaign. Meanwhile, it's been encouraging to see that Inter manager, Roberto Mancini, has promoted Piscopo to train with the first-team on many occasions. When speaking in his interview with Australian newspaper, The Herald Sun, he gives a fascinating anecdote from his first session. “I wanted to show myself and (Rodrigo) Palacio came up to me and said I can see you’re a good player but you need to know when to pass and when to dribble,’’ he recalled.

Moriyasu Hajime Moriyasu将带领日本再次进入世界杯预选赛。在这次的资格赛中，蓝武士并没有像以前那样强势，他们分别输给了沙特阿拉伯和阿曼。他们仍然握有自动排位赛的第二名，但面临来自落后的澳大利亚的严峻挑战。

预计XI: Shuichi Gonda (GK);永atomyuyto, Maya Yoshida, yuuta Nakayama, Sei muraya;Takumi Minamino, Genki Haraguchi, Ritsu Doan;久保武夫，大坂由也，古桥恭吾

他第一次出现在国际米兰的雷达上是在一次意大利的足球之旅，在那里他在8场比赛中打进了5个球。皮斯科波在12岁时就加入了国际米兰，并稳步晋升。然而，2014/15赛季对他来说是一个真正的突出的赛季，这位懒散的组织核心以俱乐部17岁以下联赛的最佳射手的身份结束了赛季。

不幸的是，事情进展得并不顺利

2015/16赛季，脚踝骨折严重影响了他的竞选。与此同时，令人鼓舞的是，国米主教练曼奇尼多次提拔皮斯科波到一线队训练。在接受澳大利亚《先驱太阳报》(The Herald Sun)采访时，他讲述了自己第一次治疗时发生的一件有趣的轶事。“我想展示自己，(罗德里戈)帕拉西奥走过来对我说，我看得出你是个好球员，但你需要知道什么时候传球，什么时候运球，”他回忆道。
