Coach's Comment
Marcelo MENDES, Coach
Playing against the world-class team, Tahiti, is an important opportunity ahead of 5th Asian Beach Games in Vietnam. This match will be the last match prior to this tournament. Tahiti currently ranks fifth in the world. They were also the finalist and runner-up of the previous World Cup. I have no doubt that they are one of the top teams in the world.
Being able to compete against such team will be significant in understanding our current level in addition to being an excellent test match looking ahead to the next World Cup.
Until now, we believe we had sufficient amount of practice and prepared ourselves well. We are in the stage of making the final preparation for the Tahiti game. We envision ourselves heading to Vietnam in the best condition possible.
