Throughout the tournament, we highly appreciate our national team played with splendid Japanese style. All the players attacked with stable techniques and worked on defense systematically.
I believe not only all the female coaches but also all Japanese coaches will have a big confidence by getting the world No.1 with a female coach.
I’m sure we got a good start towards the FIFA Women’s World Cup 2023 and Tokyo Olympics 2020.
