TAKAKURA Asako, Coach's Comment

Following on from last year, we will continue to focus on strength training during our training camp. This is necessary to achieve our short term goal, which is to win the Asia Cup in April, and to qualify for the World cup. It will also help us build a strong foundation, preventing injuries and allow us to compete against stronger opponents throughout the year. As you can see we have invited more players than usual, 27 players to be exact. I want our players to compete among each other, no matter how old or how experienced they are. I hope to see strong intentions from our players, that each players believes that they are the one who would lead the team.
