Honestly, no one from Japan's side expected France to make this basic mistake. No, Miki Yamane was just putting pressure to kick out the threat from his side, and no one followed it up because they just wanted to maintain this excellent defensive shape.
However, once the chance came, no one stayed quiet. No, their instinct flared up, and not just Miki Yamane, but three players also rushed forward.
Dan-Axel Zagadou also noticed this, and right now, he had two choices. Dropping back immediately to slow down the attack or fight for the ball that Miki Yamane himself hadn't completely controlled. Everything had its pros and cons here, and in that second, his brain short-circuited, not knowing what to do.
