the coach of the Tunisian Under-17 football team, Abdelhay Ben Soltane, is planning to rotate the squad and give playing opportunities to different players in their match against Japan in the Under-17 World Cup in the United Arab Emirates. Both Tunisia and Japan have already qualified for the round of 16 by winning their first two matches in the competition.
The potential lineup for Tunisia is as follows:
- Goalkeeper: Ben Chrifia
- Defenders: Akrout, Othman, Salem, El Omrani
- Midfielders: Drager, Khalfa
- Forwards: Gabsi, Jbeli, Arfaoui
- Striker: Haj Hassan
The potential lineup for Japan is as follows:
- Goalkeeper: Hayashi
- Defenders: Misao, Suzuki, Nakano
- Midfielders: Miyoshi, Nakamura, Aizu, Uryu
- Forwards: Watanabe, Sugimori, Ogawa
This match will not only determine the group’s supremacy but also provide an opportunity for some players who haven’t featured much in the tournament so far. The rotation strategy is often employed to keep the squad fresh and to assess the depth of the team.
