The team had two training sessions, one in the morning and other in the afternoon, on the 30th. Since they arrived late on the previous night, they first focused on move their bodies and create better conditions, and then they went through 2vs2vs2, 3vs3vs3 in order to confirm their technical parts in the morning. In the afternoon, they held the session at the same time as the kick-off time of their first game, attempting to get used to the heat, and had some training with offensive and defensive battles and played a 9vs9 game.
The goalkeepers joined the field players in their ball feeling practice in the morning, and trained their shot stops following good preparations (watch, set, stepping and positioning) effectively.
The tournament hosts gave only 45 minutes of practice time for each team, but under the heats of 35 degrees in the morning, 42 in the afternoon, the team were able to worked on theirs with high concentration to get ready for the games to come.
* Nakamura Moe made good-luck bracelets for all the members of the team to with for winning championship.

As we had to go through things in the situation with the heat of 42 degrees, I felt that that you have to be able to put up what you have in no matter what kind of circumstances it is in order to play equally in the world. In the game we played in the end, I was given advices from the coaches that I needed to play controlling my speed. It was difficult for me to select plays that cope with the situations, such as playing correspondingly with my speed and give variables on my speed. I hope to earn the ability to control my speed, being aware of that in practices and games.

I felt a lot of differences in terms of the temperatures between Japan and here in today's training. But I think that this will make me feel easier when I get back to Japan, so I want to endure the heat and be used to it as soon as possible. In the training, I wasn't able to meet my objective that I set before this tournament, but I would like to switch my mind starting tomorrow and find new things that are different from one that I did today. In order to do that, I would like to observe and make quick decisions.
We want to win our contests that will start tomorrow. I want to focus on every single play, linking passes and careful about my first play from our first game.
