Comment of TAKAKURA Asako, Coach of Nadeshiko Japan (Japan Women's National Team)

The Asian Games represents one of the most important title in Asia, next to the AFC Women’s Asia Cup. With our eyes set on winning the FIFA Women’s World Cup next year, we must display our “strengths” and “quality,” which are the aspects we have been working on. We have also spent time to heighten our basis so that we can strive for even higher goals. We will continue to challenge to build on the “Nadeshiko Japan style” and fight with strong intentions to earn results.
