Noel SANVICENTE, Head Coach
I cannot tell my impression on Japan in detail for just arriving here but I found it very beautiful country. I look forward to seeing various aspects of Japan tomorrow or later.
I hope to make it fruitful game as this is a good chance for us to play against the country participated in FIFA World Cup. Just like Japan team, we just started a new process and still need more time for preparation. Both teams have lost first game respectively I suppose we will have a better team work step by step. I wish supporter in Japan will give us never-ending and passionate support. Please enjoy watching a spectacle game.

This is my second time coming to Japan in seven or eight years. I know Japan national team for dynamic players. I can think of players like Honda, Kawashima, Nagatomo and Kagawa off the top of my head. We are trying out various things with new head coach on board. Sharing the ideas, we are in the process of implementing what head coach wants in the game. I am sure it will be a spectacle game, so expect for an exciting game.
MF Tomas RINCON
I cannot anything about Japan as this is first time to come here and just arrived here. But having watched Japan team play in FIFA World Cup, I have an impression of the players are skillful and dynamic. Venezuela football is still in development phase but we tend to allocate many players when attacking. We just tried new process with new head coach who joined recently and gradually picking up ideas of head coach. I am going to play as much as we can and please expect for an exciting game.
