Comment

OIWA Go, Head Coach of U-22 Japan National Team
We have played European nations before taking part in the AFC U23 Asian Cup™ Qatar 2024 Qualifiers in Bahrain in September, which is the first round of AFC qualifying for the Paris Olympics. This tour will give us the opportunity to play Mexico and USA, whose styles are different to those of our previous opponents. From our experience of playing against different opponents in different situations, we feel that we need to improve the quality of our core principles and style of play. We want to refine the team's ability to express our style on the pitch against any opponent. We need to integrate the new players with the existing ones, while improving the speed and technical elements of the game. We have limited time to work before the AFC U23 Asian Cup™, which is the final round of AFC Olympic qualifying. We want to use this opportunity to assess the players and see how well they can fulfil their roles in the team.
