Japan beach soccer national team prep camp for AFC Championship in Qatar 2015(3/17)
18 March 2015
In the run-up to the AFC Beach Soccer Championship 2015 Doha, Qatar scheduled to start on Monday 23 March, the Japan National Beach Soccer Team began their camp today in Dubai, UAE.
The squad, arriving there in the morning, started with light workout to stretch their body being stiff because of the long trip. After a long jog, they went through deliberate stretching and fundamentals such as passing and controlling drills for an hour.
In the afternoon, the squad mainly had more intense shooting drills for an hour and half to finish up the first day of the championship prep camp.
As they worked on two-a-day practice on the first day of the camp in Dubai, six hours away from Japan, the players looked a bit tired after the afternoon session. Yet for training tomorrow and after, they carefully went through body treatment until late night under the instruction by their team doctor and trainers.
Players' Comments
SUGITA Tetsuji (Shonan Spread 1545)
The first day after our arrival today had two-a-day practice in the morning and afternoon in a great mood as a team. For the Asian qualifiers, we will go for the qualifiers with this good momentum. Before leaving Japan, my co-workers and other people gave me warm words to send me off, so I will work hard to go back to Japan with a good result.
TERUKINA Shingo (SOL MAR PRAIA)
In the last Asian qualifiers, we were just one step away from winning the championship and ended up as runners-up, so we will try to win it all this time. A few of those who have experienced the Asian qualifiers including me need to lead inexperienced players. First of all, we will work out with concentration in everyday training and adjust our condition during this prep camp to safely pass through the qualifiers.
