JAPAN National Team MEDIA GUIDE 3

Greetings

There is a deep bond between Brazil and

Japan: the two countries share more than

100 years of history beginning with Japanese

immigration to Brazil, and Japanese football

was developed with help of Brazilian coaches

and players.

For the many Japanese descendants who

live in Brazil, and to show our gratitude to

the Brazilian coaches and players who made

great efforts for the development of Japanese

football in the past, we would like to fight

to demonstrate “true Japanese football” and

make our mark in the land of the Kingdom of

Football, Brazil.

Under the name of “SAMURAI BLUE,” the Japan

National Team will fight fairly with our heads

held high, and our total focus on the road

ahead of us. Please follow our journey.

Laços estreitos unem o Japão e o Brasil, não

apenas em função dos mais de cem anos de

história da imigração japonesa no Brasil, mas

também pelo crescimento do futebol japonês,

graças à capacidade de técnicos e jogadores

brasileiros.

Como forma de retribuição a todos os técnicos

e jogadores brasileiros pelo seu empenho

durante sucessivas gerações para desenvolver

o futebol japonês, e também em homenagem

ao grande número de descendentes japoneses

que vivem no país, desejamos deixar no país

do futebol nossos rastros, e que todos possam

dizer: “Esse é o futebol japonês”.

Acompanhem a seleção japonesa “SAMURAI

BLUE”, atuando com fair play , orgulho e

seriedade.

Comments / Comentários

"The quality and accuracy of Japanese football abilities has improved even more over these past four years. I would like to show proof of the progress of the Japan National Team. In order to demonstrate the true spirit of Japanese football and to play a game in our style, we must take initiative in the game, instead of playing reactively. All members of the Japan National Team possess the ability to realize such play, a high-level of understanding of strategies and a degree of utility, as well as value teamwork. Demonstrating better performances will naturally result in better results. I am confident that we have a great team with strong players who can demonstrate a tremendous performance, provided that physical conditions are well maintained."

"A qualidade e a precisão na atuação em campo se aprimoraram nos últimos quatro anos. Quero mostrar que a seleção japonesa cresceu taticamente. Para jogarmos futebol do nosso jeito e mostrarmos uma peculiaridade bem japonesa, precisamos conquistar o poder de liderança e não um futebol de reação. Para isso, reunimos jogadores talentosos, com alto grau de compreensão tática, capacidade de atuar em diferentes posições e espírito de equipe. Mostrando um bom desempenho, obteremos naturalmente bons resultados. Acredito que, com um bom condicionamento físico, temos hoje a melhor equipe capaz de exibir o melhor jogo."
