[Oakland (USA) 5th (6th Japan time) = Sato Naruhito]The Japanese national team (17th in the FIFA ranking) will play a training match against the Mexico national team (13th in the 7th in the 6th). All 27 people attended the official practice held at the venue, and in the 15 minutes that was revealed, they adjusted the ball by turning the ball and other things.

Ueda Kyoyo (27, Feyenoord), who has made a great match with three matches at the club this season, has been looking forward to his former colleague, opposing forward S Jimenez (AC Milan).

He was looking forward to the match against the Mexican goal-taking guy, who reigned as the team's ace, saying, “I'm looking forward to it. He's simply a good relationship with him, and he's still playing for Milan. As for the Japanese national team, I only watch that opponent, Santi (Jimenez), plays for Feyenoord, so I think it would be fun to see how much and how he plays against the Japanese national team.”

He said he learned a lot as a fellow forward. “I used a role model for someone who has what I lacked, and the club also wanted me to see Santi play and do it like this.” I stole the tactics, what I'm looking for as a top player, and my positioning.

I wasn't just imitating it. “I'm not thinking about it, doing it in my own style, in my own style. On the other hand, I've focused on finding my own style, such as what I can't do for myself, what only I can do, and even with the same play.” He is currently working on a new style of playing and is able to grasp the results of his success, which makes him look forward to the match.

For the first time in about two years, he will be holding a test match with a country outside of Asia. “I think the most important thing right now is to try the tactics we have and how well it works and pick up new challenges,” he says, thrusts all his efforts to win by hitting the points he has accumulated.
