Comment from TAKAKURA Asako (Coach of Nadeshiko Japan)

We faced Switzerland in the 2015 World Cup, and I had an impression that the Swiss team had displayed wonderful football in the tournament and has improved significantly in recent years. Nadeshiko Japan have been experiencing many competitive matches this year as well. In the coming game, while both teams play to the best of their abilities, we hope we can show to the people in Nagano our aggressive style of football and our progress we made so far.
