[Japan National Team Activity Diary]9/5 Ritsu Doan: “Rather than waiting for a new generation to take over, we want to grab it ourselves”

On the third day of the training camp, the Japan national team held its first closed training session since Moriyasu took over as coach. After the warm-up at the start of the training session, the session was closed to the public, allowing the team to review their tactics in a concentrated environment. After the training, we spoke with Doan Ritsu (FC Groningen/Netherlands). Please see the official Japan Football Association website below for information on whether international friendlies will be held following the earthquake that occurred in the central-eastern Iburi region of Hokkaido. http://www.jfa.jp/samuraiblue/20180907/news/00018701/
