Welcome in season 67, Japan will compete to Asian Championship and I would like to thank you to trust me another time to lead your National Team, I will be helped by Man-Jimaru this season again
We will face Australia to begin on monday, and after a week break , it will be Iran, New-Zealand, Philippines, the host, Kazakhstan, and finally India, with the goal to join the second round.
I checked about 90% of the Japaneses players this week and I choose 14 players to begin the season.
This will probably be the last campaign for Nagase who turn 37 years old, perhaps a chance to see him again next season.
I have seen many players who have progressed very well and I can only encourage all managers to continue the work well done. I can give training plans to the ones who want to train players for NT or U21.
See you on Monday ...
Come on Japan.
