Two sets of training were held in second day of Futsal Japan national team’s Italy trip to prepare for six training matches.

Following yesterday’s defense checking session, we spent long time for training basic formation of 3-1 offense. Miguel head coach reminded the squad the play style in Italy is different from that of Spain. He advised detailed thing like Italy tend to play simple and straight forward and take advantage of physical strength. The squad paid attention to what Miguel head coach says because he always put emphasis on tactics tailored to the opponent, more than technique and strategy as this is overseas trip after long time. Training match with Italian team begins tomorrow.

I was very much looking forward to this trip as it is my first Italy trip. Finishing two days of training, I think had a good training for recovering from fatigue of jet lag and long flight. With training matches starting tomorrow, I want to win the many games as we can. The chance of playing in the game will be higher as there are only two goal keepers and I want to demonstrate my strength in the game. I am really interested to see how Italian goleiro plays in the game and want to learn something from them. I just want to extend my gratitude to the club I belong to in spite of middle of the season and I want learn as much as I can and go back to Japan.
