Japan National Futsal Team Spain Trip Report 30 March, Training matches will finally kick off tomorrow

Day 3 of the Spain Trip.
Expecting a match against a Spain League club the next day, Japan National Futsal Team had two practice sessions in the morning and afternoon to wrap up its final preparation.

The morning session had warm-up, shooting drills and three sets of scrimmages.

Under the lead of its head coach Miguel Rodrigo, players have learned basic principles of the team so far. The mail goal of this trip is to execute them in matches, as the team are looking to reach the next level through scrimmages and actual matches.

 In the afternoon, three goalkeepers had their own training for an hour first and joined field players for the full team practice. Since they were expecting a match the next day, the afternoon session finished just with making sure powerplay situations after warming up.

HC Miguel said after the practice that wins and losses are important, but in this trip it is more important for everyone to figure out where we are through playing the matches.

Comments

Osodo Nobuya (Vasagey Oita)
The third practice has finished without any problem after arriving in Spain. We had good practices both in the morning and afternoon, could communicate well among all players, and now can’t wait for matches starting tomorrow. We are Japan’s national team. Saying that it was a good experience to play against Spanish clubs isn’t enough. To win again in the AFC Championship, we will play the matches always with the goal of getting both good details and the good end result.

Uchimura Shunta (Syonan Bellmare)
Finally we will begin training matches against Spanish clubs. It will be our first set of matches for this new team. We want to have good results as a team as well as individually I want to show what I do well and challenge for good results. It all will be for winning another AFC Championship. To do that, we will keep our focus one day at a time.

Yoshikawa Tomoki (Nagoya Oceans)
It’s the third day in Spain, and players’ conditioning level is getter better. We have had very good practices so far. Tomorrow, we will start training matches. Off course the result will be important, but we will communicate well for this team to mature at a higher level, and we will take every match carefully to have good details.

Fujiwara Jun (Bardral Urayasu)
Three days have passed since our arrival in Spain, we have had good practices, and tomorrow we will start training matches. We will keep working hard to get off to a good start as a team for upcoming AFC Championship.
