Japan Beach Soccer National Team had two-a-day training on the morning and afternoon of the second day during their Brazil trip.

In the strong sun with temperature of 30 degrees reversed dramatically from last night's cool and comfortable weather suited for workouts, the squad went through morning session that was centred on individual physical ability and techniques.

In the afternoon, the players mainly worked on game-style training in preparation for the match on 20th. Coach Marcelo MENDES tried to instil his tactics into the team, using a tactical board and gesticulating on the pitch.

Players' Comments

FP #3  AKAGUMA Takuya (Dorsole Kitakyushu)
We started the camp in full swing today. Weather is hot, but we had physical training and tactic workouts that our coach required from us, calling out to each other during the session. This trip has a lot of training matches. I hope we can improve the type of communication that is only made during a match to a higher level.

FP #9  OKUYAMA Masanori (Loewe Yokohama)
Going through the two days, I'm getting used to the hot temperature and sand condition and I was able to work on training in a comfortable manner. We will play against Brazil National Team at the end of this trip. I will try to improve quality of training on each day to show what our coach is intending on the pitch. It's a short period of time, but I will be thankful for playing in such an environment and take advantage of this experience after going back to Japan.
