TAKAKURA Asako Coach's Comment

We have tried various players to get to know them better, and now I think that it’s time for us to stick to getting victories more than before considering the upcoming Asian Cup in April of next year. In the previous tour to the Netherlands and Belgium, we tried a new formation, this time I want the matches to have two different main things: broaden the team’s capacity and improving the team’s strengths. The 4 new players were always in my mind. Judging by their performances in the league’s matches, I could see their condition were getting better and I wanted them to add some new power to energise the team. This was why I called up these players for the first time. To grow up as a team, we all do our best in this occasion.
