U-16 Japan National team training camp for AFC U-16 Championship in Thailand - report (9/4)
05 September 2014
The 2nd day's training was held at Dhurakij Pundit University in Bangkok. In the severest heat and humidity since the beginning of the training camp in Thailand, the team did a practice menu for a limited time of 90 minutes.
In a warm-up, players moved dynamically against markers and cones. After that, they did practice menus smoothly such as basics of keeping and kicking a ball, quick passes on a 4 to 1 formation followed by a game passing by hand in a wider area, under instructions by Mr. Yoshitake, the head cocach.
* 98JAPAN is the nickname for the U-16 Japan National Team aiming to compete in the FIFA U-17 World Cup in Chile.
Players Comments
SUGIURA Fumiya(Nagoya Grampus U18)
I was not able to perform as well as I wanted to due to a high temperature today. However, we must be in readiness for any conditions to demonstrate our utmost ability in a real match under pressures and heat. I want to get to be able to play in a calm manner, focusing on opponents' moves, even I am pushed into a corner physically and mentally.
SHIMOGUCHI Wakaba(JFA Academy Fukushima)
I took a walk for 30 min around the hotel in the morning to season myself to heat outside. I practiced for 90 min in the afternoon. I tried to focus on playing with specific intention within a limited time. I will make a good preparation for an opening game against Hong Kong on 6th.
