SKOR.id - Winger Timnas Jepang, Daizen Maeda, percaya diri mampu melibas Indonesia dan melaju ke babak 16 besar Piala Asia 2023.

Seperti diketahui, Jepang akan bertemu Timnas Indonesia pada laga pamungkas Grup D Piala Asia 2023, Rabu (24/1/2024).

Duel di Stadion Al Thumama, Doha, Qatar, tersebut bakal menentukan nasib kedua tim.

Sang pemenang dipastikan melaju ke fase gugur, sementara yang kalah ada kemungkinan gugur dan angkat koper.

Jepang terjebak dalam situasi ini setelah secara mengejutkan dipecundangi Irak pada laga kedua, Jumat lalu, dengan skor 1-2.  

Meski demikian, Daizen Maeda mengaku tidak panik. Dia dan rekan-rekannya yakin mampu menghabisi Indonesia pada pertandingan nanti.

Lagi pula, ini bukan kali pertama Jepang berada dalam keadaan terjepit. Baru dua tahun lalu, tepatnya di Piala Dunia 2022 - juga di Qatar, mereka menghadapi skenario serupa.

Tim Samurai Biru kala itu kalah dari Kosta Rika pada laga kedua fase grup, dan berada di ujung tanduk. Namun, saat partai penentuan, mereka secara luar biasa mampu menjungkalkan Spanyol untuk lolos.

"Kami tahu harus memenangi pertandingan pamungkas di fase grup (lawan Indonesia), tapi saya tak khawatir karena kami juga kalah di laga kedua Piala Dunia dan tetap lolos," kata Maeda, dikutip dari Herald Scotland.

"Saya rasa mindset seperti itu adalah kekuatan Jepang, jadi kami hanya perlu melakukan yang terbaik pada pertandingan selanjutnya," pemain asal Celtic itu menambahkan.

Daizen Maeda bukanlah pilihan utama di tim asuhan Hajime Moriyasu. Dalam dua laga yang sudah dilalui Jepang di Piala Asia 2023, dia baru tampil selama 16 menit.

Itu terjadi saat mereka kalah dari Irak. Maeda masuk sebagai pengganti, tapi tak mampu mengubah situasi buat Samurai Biru.

"Buat saya pribadi, sangat penting membuat kesan positif di turnamen ini karena saya beberapa kali mundur dari timnas akibat cedera. Jadi, saya datang ke Piala Asia dengan tekad membuktikan kemampuan," katanya.

"Sialnya, saya masuk saat kami tertinggal dari Irak dan melewatkan kesempatan menyamakan kedudukan. Saya minta maaf karena gagal cetak gol, saya telat menyundul bola," tambah winger plontos itu. 

Penyesalan itu membuatnya kian termotivasi jelang menghadapi Indonesia. Jika dipercaya merumput, dia berjanji akan memberi kontribusi, baik gol maupun assist.

"Saya ingin menciptakan banyak peluang untuk rekan setim, itu yang biasa saya lakukan di Celtic. Kelebihan saya ada pada kecepatan, saya harap bisa memaksimalkannya," Maeda memungkasi.
