Comment of SASAKI Norio, Head Coach (Nadeshiko Japan)

We were placed in the group which the opponents’ information are limited but I know we cannot underestimate them and expecting all the matches going to be not easy game for us as the standard of women’s football is getting higher in recent years. I am going to make sure with the squad, we aim to reach for the final with better condition. The first match is important, Switzerland managed to won highly competitive European qualifiers and have quite a few systematic and high caliber players in the squad. Since the previous world cup, the players of Nadeshiko Japan brushed up their individual skills. Raising team standard and performance game by game, I am determined to embark on new challenge for winning the world cup again.
