Coach and Players' Comments

TAKAKURA Asako, Coach
We came in the game reflecting on the issues we had in our game against the U-20 Germany Women's National Team and set our goal raising the quality of our shots and improving team collaboration. Defensively, the whole team understood our team concept and they were particular about the details, including line controlling and dealing with crosses. Thus, we did not concede any goals for the second straight game. But unless we further improve the quality of every aspect of the game, we are not going to keep winning at the world stage. In the remaining three months until the FIFA U-20 Women’s World Cup, we would like to ‘stick to the details’ and, at the same time, keep improving as a team.

DF #21  SHIOKOSHI Yuzuho (Urawa Red Diamonds Ladies)
Today is the final day of our training camp in Germany. We came in the game focusing on competing tenaciously for the ball and making quick transitions. In regards to transitions (from offence to defence and, conversely, from defence to offence), we were quicker overall, creating many effective attacking plays. Despite having many scoring opportunities, we netted only a few, lacking the accuracy of the final touch. Each one of us shall take pros and cons of this tour home and improve every single play in the remaining three months until the FIFA U-20 Women’s World Cup.
