The Japanese national team under the age of 24 in the soccer and Tokyo Olympics began practicing in earnest in Chiba City on the 23rd for the warm-up game against Argentina this month.
The Japanese national team under the age of 24, who are aiming for the Tokyo Olympics, will face Argentina, a powerful player who has won two gold medals at the Olympics, in a warm-up game that will be held in Japan on the 26th and 29th of this month.
The training camp for the match started in Chiba City on the 22nd, and on the 23rd, overseas teams such as Takefusa Kubo of Getafe, the Spanish 1st division, joined, and all 23 players were there.
The members, excluding Kubo, who just joined, started full-scale practice from the 23rd, and while receiving instructions from director Akinobu Yokouchi, they played a 6 to 6 mini-game for about an hour and a half, and coordinated offense and defense. I confirmed.
And Kawasaki Frontale's Kaoru Mitoma, who scored 13 goals in J1 last season, which was the most newcomer record, showed a sharp move.
Mitoma said, "I'm curious about how much speed and technique Argentine players have, and I want to absorb it. I want to know what I'm lacking and not waste these two games in order to become a member in the Olympic Games." I was talking.
