Japan Futsal National Team hold final domestic training ahead of AFC Futsal Championship
05 February 2016
Japan Futsal National Team's domestic camp entered the final day on 4 February. Goalkeepers assembled at the training site before field players and worked out apart from them. They focused on goalkeeper specialised drills for an hour.
After field players joined, all the players got together and started training of the day with a light passing drill to loosen their body. Then, the squad had a 1-on-1 game on a half-sized pitch to push themselves physically in a short period of time. After that, they repeatedly went through tactics of how to break through the opponents in a situation where they outnumber opponents, simulating a power play.
The session was the last training in Japan ahead of their opening match against Qatar on 11 February.
Players' Comments
MUROTA Yuki (ESPOLADA HOKKAIDO)
The domestic camp was finished. All we have left before the AFC Futsal Championship is just go to Uzbekistan and work out there. We still have time until the opening day, so we will keep in shape to get ready as a team and come out for the first match against Qatar. Thank you for your support.
TAKITA Manabu (PESCADOLA MACHIDA)
Everyone in the team was keen to work hard without cutting corners. We are improving physically and tactically as scheduled. After getting to the tournament site, we will try to finish our tune-up and hopefully get better as a team by not wasting any single day. We will become a better group and achieve our goal. We will do our best.
OSODO Nobuya (SHRIKER OSAKA)
It was the last day of the training in Japan today. We are good and ready, so all we have to do left is just bring out our best in Uzbekistan. We will unite as a team to bring good results to you!
