[Oakland (California) 5th (6th Japan time) = Sato Naruhito]The Japanese national team (17th in the FIFA ranking) will be holding a training match against the Mexico national team (13th in the 7th in the 6th (7th in the 7th). Japan national team manager Moriyasu Kazuichi (57), who attended the official press conference the day before, held at the venue of the match, vowed to win.
There are nine months left until the FIFA World Cup (World Cup) North and Central America tournament. He is about to play against a non-Asia for the first time in a year and 11 months, and said, “I am extremely honored to be able to compete in the historic stadium, the host country of next year's World Cup, and I have had the wonderful opportunity to make better preparations in this US location where the World Cup is being held, and I would like to steadily build up the team.”
This is a rematch against an opponent who lost in the 2021 Tokyo Olympics (Olympics). The manager is 66-year-old manager Javier Aguirre, who once led the Japanese national team. There are various connections. He expressed his respect for the opposing manager, saying, “I respect him as a very good manager and a world-renowned leader,” and said, “We don't have the desire to get revenge on the frustration alone, but simply put, as we challenge the world's World Cup, how many things we can do to compete against Mexico, the world's powerful team. I hope we can continue to fight to further grow while aiming for victory.”
The last two years have been the main official matches for the Asian World Cup final qualifying round and the Asian Cup Qatar tournament, so it's been a long time since we've played against countries with top rankings in the world. “Tomorrow's match will be to first commute our battle, which we've played in the Asian qualifiers, when we face Mexico. From there, we can see what we can do, what we need to improve, and what we need to improve. First, we'd like to start with tomorrow's match based on what we've done in the final qualifiers,” he said, hoping to win the game, with an aggressive style that is also the world-famous.
