Coach Comment
TAKAKURA Asako, Coach
Papua New Guinea is the host country of the FIFA U-20 Women’s World Cup. We have many new members who didn’t have enough time before to check our combination in both offence and defence, and had this match. As a result we won 10-0, yet we found many issues to be improved such as our shooting and passing accuracy, and defence combination. For the next match against USA on 27th, we will improve these issues and get the victory.
