Regarding the postponement of the Tokyo Olympics, the coach said the boy's representative, Mori Yasuichi, said, "I do not think that the tournament will be extended for one year and the contract will return to blank, but the Japanese national team without age restrictions will fight in the World Cup Qatar If the schedule is too strict for the Asian Qualifiers for the Games and it will not be possible to hold the same position, the Technical Committee should consider it and make a decision. " In the above, I showed my thoughts to consider so as not to put too much burden.
The fact that the qualifications of soccer men in the Tokyo Olympic Games who are 23 years or younger in principle will be applied as they are in the postponed tournament is attracting attention. It is said that the members who have won the qualifying round up will be calm down because they can come out. The final thing is not yet decided. "
