Director Moriyasu "It's painful to pass the flow to a strong opponent"
Japan national team coach Hajime Moriyasu said, "If I had scored a goal when I had a chance, it would have been a different development. If I passed the flow to a strong opponent, it would be difficult. This warm-up game will be an activity limited to Europe. However, I had the experience of improving the level of the team in all parts. "
Yoshida "Be aware of the difference and improve your level"
Captain Maya Yoshida said, "I couldn't get a point at the chance, and on the contrary, I got a chance at the opponent. The opponent was doing what they wanted to do, such as a short counter. I learned a lot from Mexico. I think, everyone must be aware that there is still a difference and improve their level. "
