◇ Comment from Nagacho
“I am happy to be selected as a member of the U-20 World Cup Japan National Team. This is a tournament that I have personally been aiming for for a long time. At the AFC U20 Asian Cup in March, I will face Asian players for the first time, and I will find out what I am good at and what I am not. I was able to see some parts, but it was a disappointing tournament for me as an individual.I think it will be a place where I can get revenge next time, so I want to do my best.I think that all the countries competing in the group stage are good teams.Senegal and Colombia have a very strong impression. And they are opponents like Africa and South America that I don’t usually have the opportunity to play once morest.I also get the impression that Israel is very technical. As an attacking player, I want to focus on the result, and aim to play in relation to scoring goals.I haven’t been able to get a chance to play in Frontale, but the match with the national team is a great opportunity. I think so, and I would like many people to watch my play and support me.I will do my best!”

◇ Comment from Takai
“I am happy to be selected for the U-20 World Cup Japan National Team.I think I have to play well as a member of the Japanese national team and the Frontale national team so that I can show everything I have done so far. In the AFC U20 Asian Cup, I wasn’t able to perform satisfactorily in terms of my performance.In the group stage of this year’s World Cup, I think all the teams are strong and good opponents, so I will enjoy playing once morest them.Defensive Players As a player, I want to keep a clean sheet in the match, and I want to make a difference with my strengths, such as the build-up. I would like to fight carefully in this match. Thank you for your support.”
