Coach Comment

SASAKI Norio, Coach
I watched the U-23 Japan National Team’s game in the qualifiers for the Olympics on TV yesterday. I felt their determination, which has sharpened our focus too. During this Okinawa training camp, we’d like to review our problems, which we found in the 2015 World Cup, so that we can share tactics and plays as a team. We’ll prepare ourselves well in order to get through the qualifying round and to book a place in the Olympics once more. The qualifiers will be held in Osaka. It’ll be another opportunity for us to display women’s football, showing off Nadeshiko Japan’s strengths to people in Japan.
