It’s been a while after away matches in Portugal to participate in National Team camp, but I smoothly went into training. Although, in the last away match, we failed to keep calm after an opening goal by Portugal and allowed them score additional points, it was a valuable experience for us to learn how to play by the European strong team. I believe we need to be clear on how to make game, including timings to proceed with attacks and strengthen the defences, for gaining victory. I want to focus on doing good training from this camp toward a next match.

The Camp started with hard training menus even in the first day as it is the training camp toward forthcoming Intercontinental Cup and Asian Beach Games and that was perfect for me because I need to get myself into good condition at a fast pace.
When I play as the member of Japan National Team, I will have many matches with strong teams, so I will prepare with great efforts toward international tournaments.

This camp has been held toward international tournaments including Intercontinental Cup and Asian Beach Games next month. We have focused on deepening good understanding of head coach Marcelo’s strategy as well as on facilitating communications among players, because the number of candidates participating in this camp is relatively small. I personally aim to control game and make the team calm through this camp.

It’s been a while since we had away matches in Portugal and Hungary in July to have training camp and I could do training well with a moderate feeling of tension in the first day. In order to bring good results in Intercontinental Cup and Asian Beach Games next month, I try to understand new strategy of our head coach well and confirm detailed plays among players firmly.
