Comments

TEGURAMORI Makoto, the Head Coach
Our themes of today’s match were to understand our team’s concept and being pragmatic to be flexible throughout the game. The players did very well paying good attention to these themes. I think the players have high motivation to improve themselves and learning lots of things. They are going back to their teams now; I expect them to play in each of their teams as much as possible keeping their motivation high to work for Japanese national team in the future.

OSHIMA Ryota（Kawasaki Frontale）
Even though the camp was for such a short time, I think could pay more attention to the team’s concept comparing to the camp in Osaka last June. However, I still feel that we can reflect this concept more on our football. We are going back to each team, and I want to do my best to be selected again. Once I was selected, I will play consistently as a squad player.

YAMANAKA Ryosuke（JEF United Chiba）
I could experience various play systems during the 3 days of training camp. I believe that we can improve our communication and combination together if we try our best in each training session. I just want to maximise this limited time as much as possible.
