Coach's Comment

Patrice BEAUMELLE (Cote d'Ivoire National Team)
I am looking forward for this match against Japan. For me, this is a rematch with the Japan National Team, since I have faced them as a coach of Zambia National Team, ahead of the 2014 FIFA World Cup Brazil™ at Tampa, USA. Japan was led by coach Alberto ZACCHERONI at the time, and I am extremely excited to face them once again. Japan is a team with great discipline, strategy, and techniques, and I have tremendous respect for them. I can not wait to play them.

Player's Comment

Serge AURIER (Tottenham Hotspur)
I am excited for this match against Japan. I remember facing Japan in the first match of the 2014 FIFA World Cup Brazil™. As a young player, it was my first World Cup appearance, so Japan is a special opponent for me. The experience of facing players like Honda and Nagatomo has become good memories. Starting with players like Kubo, Japan has produced so many young talents since, so I am looking forward to facing the improved version of Japan. I hope both teams can showcase high quality performances and make this a productive friendly match for both sides.
