July 11th news The official Japanese national team promoted today's update, showing the content of some Japanese internationals accepting official interviews after yesterday's training.

Kawabenae, who has experience in studying abroad and currently plays for Hiroshima Sanarak, was interviewed. He said: "The last game was the first game of the East Asian Cup. Before the game, all the team members only completed one training class, so they felt a little nervous. Even so, the coaches still asked us to perform at the training level in that training class, and we also showed our performance during training in the game against the Hong Kong team of China."

"I haven't played in the back midfield with Inagaki Sukaku for a long time. We partnered, but during the game, we still regained the feeling of being a partner at Hiroshima Sanji. We felt very happy with him and stimulated our strength in the fierce rhythm of the game. As expected, it is necessary to have a good partner in the midfielder position. "

"This East Asian Cup is not only meaningful, but also related to the preparations for the new round of World Cup. The players all have a very strong awareness of this, and they all personally feel the sense of responsibility and motivation, and therefore have high fighting spirit."
