TEGURAMORI Makoto, Coach
Playing against the gold medalists in the last Olympics will be a match for us to see where we currently stand. We just have to try and see what we can do as Asian champions against Mexico. Also I want to see how these U-23 players can adjust to playing against a non-Asian team in a non-Asian country. As for Mexico, I think they are a team that we should try to learn from because they are making their name in the world even though their physique is similar to that of us Japanese.....
