Coach Comment

Miguel RODRIGO, Coach
Including the two Colombia matches, all the players worked at a high level on two-week intense training, so taking two guys off of the list was an extremely difficult decision. I told the two players in person about my decision. It doesn't mean there was a difference in quality of play compared to the rest of 14 players.

I let NAKAMURA Yusuke know that there is a player who can give us better reliability and assurance when it comes to performing the same function as Nakamura does. Also, I said to SHIMIZU Kazuya that I want to give experienced veterans a role of pivo this time and I'm sure with no doubt he will be a pivo who can lead the national team of the next generation because of his already proved quality, ambition and composure. To meet our goal, I believe I made the most balanced, appropriate squad list.
