SINGAPORE - The Lions will persist with national coach Tatsuma Yoshida's attacking philosophy , even against stronger opposition, with the Japanese stressing it was the only way towards self-improvement.
Yoshida said:"We can play only defence. We can pack 11 players into our penalty box, and restrict opponents to a 1-0 or 2-0 win. But that is no good for us. While the world No. 157 Lions committed men forward and created several chances to score at the King Abdullah Stadium in Buraidah, this approach left them vulnerable at the back and the Saudis, ranked 70th, could have racked up a bigger scoreline.The Uzbeks have arrived here on the back of a 5-0 thrashing of Yemen and seemingly feeling the positive effects of having a new coach in Vadim Abramov, who replaced Hector Cuper after their 2-0 defeat by Palestine last month.
