Coach Comment

TEGURAMORI Makoto, Coach
It's very meaningful to have a test match against the opponents who we can't face unless we win, win and win through the tournament. With the fact the first match of the Olympics is important and difficult, it's very important for us to take on Brazil at this time. It's going to be an opportunity to improve our game tension and intensity as a team. It's also a great training opportunity for individual players, and there is no question that they get a good experience.
