Head Coach & Players Comments

Head Coach : Kimura Kokichi
The first JFA elite program in 2014 is a good exchange event between Japan and ASEAN. Players could start the game with the right mindset. I got information before the game on who plays which position for his own team, but I let them experience different positions in this event. Some players could adjust well because they understand the essential part of soccer, but others looked a little like they didn't know what to do because they didn't understand that. I believe players don't need to be assigned to only one position for this age group, so I want them to have different experience in this event. We will play as hard as we can in the rest of the games.

I could play my game. As the head coach told us, I could put pressure on their ball at the frontline and take away their ball there, so that was good. We could set up our offence from the midfield, could provide many passes toward their goal through defenders, and we dominated the game. So I could have fun playing. In the next game, I will try to rush behind their defenders more. I couldn't do it well in the first game.
