Coach's Comment

Vahid HALILHODZIC, Coach of SAMURAI BLUE (Japan National Team)
We have not analyzed Iran all that much yet, but I remember that they made a great performance in last year's World Cup. We would like to strengthen our team, capitalizing on an opportunity like this. Also, I heard that so many fans are coming to stadiums when Iran play in Iran. I think that it'll be a good test to play behind a huge crowd away for our World Cup qualifying that will be coming up soon.
