The Japanese national soccer team, who will participate in the Tokyo Olympics, practiced in Chiba prefecture for the first match of the qualifying league against South Africa on the 22nd of this month.
On the 17th, the Japan national football team at the Tokyo Olympics played the final warm-up game before the tournament in the powerful Spain and Kobe, and drew one-on-one.
From the 19th, we resumed practice in Chiba prefecture for the match against South Africa, which will be the first match of the qualifying league in the tournament, which is approaching three days later.
In South Africa, two athletes and one staff member tested positive for the new coronavirus, and 21 were identified as close contacts.
However, in the practice on the 19th, Captain Maya Yoshida and Takefusa Kubo, who are the key players in the attack, seemed to be relaxed and sweated by doing basic ball spinning for about an hour and a half.
On the other hand, Ritsu Doan, who scored the first goal in the warm-up game against Spain, adjusted with another menu to bruise his heels.
