Comment From Head Coach & Players

OTSUKA Ichiro,Head Coach　
I really appreciate for us to participate in Bellinzona tournament, International youth event in Switzerland.  Our team members had a chance to experience physical strength and high standard of skills of European youth players. Particularly the way Inter Milan youth played tough in the final match definitely amazed us.I hope the international tour like this continues in the future and help produce young football players who will be a global business person as well.
