Coach's Comment
Rafael DUDAMEL, Coach
Following our tour in November, I feel very fortunate to be able to revisit Japan. Through these visits, I was able to see how kind and respectful the Japanese people are. We always have a tough time adjusting to the time difference, but this time, we have arrived in Japan with plenty of time to fix the jetlag. Although this is a friendly match, it gives us the opportunity to assess our progress, work on the details, and build our teamwork ahead of the South American qualifiers for the World Cup. We would also want to finish the year on a high note. We will give our best efforts to showcase a spectacular match and we hope to entertain the Japanese fans through the highly skilled football match between Venezuela and Japan.
