KOGURE Kenichiro Coachs' Comment
We can’t say the current situation is very good for the Japanese futsal family. The national team weren't able to get to the World Cup because of the loss in the AFC Championship the other day, but I'm fully aware of the meaning and responsibility of taking on the coach duty for this tournament. On top of that, we will go all out for this home tournament with a determination to get back Japan's strength and pride in Asia that Japanese players and those who are involved including myself have piled up.
