On the 28th, Japan’s national soccer team “Moriho Japan” began a training camp in Chiba City in preparation for an international friendly match against Thailand (January 1 next year at the National Stadium). This will be the team’s first match against Japan on New Year’s Day, and will be a chance to strengthen their preparation for the Asia Cup (starting on January 12 next year in Qatar). Crowdfunding supporters were invited to watch the practice on the 30th, giving them an opportunity to watch the Japan national soccer team play up close. Key players such as Ito and Doan were cheered on, and the players practiced in a relaxed atmosphere created by the year-end and New Year holidays. In preparation for the match against Thailand two days later, we confirmed the shape of the attack, including formation practice. Junya Ito, who has become a mainstay for the national team, also expressed his enthusiasm for the match against Thailand and the Asian Cup. <2024.1.1 Japan national team members for Thailand national team match> GK Mayuya Maekawa (Vissel Kobe) Ayane Suzuki (Sint-Truiden VV/Belgium) Taishi Nozawa Brandon (FC Tokyo)* DF Shogo Taniguchi (Al Rayan SC/Qatar) Ko Itakura (Borussia MG/Germany) Tatsuya Morishita (Nagoya Grampus) Hiroki Machida (Union Saint Giroise/Belgium) Seiya Maikuma (Cerezo Osaka) Hiroki Ito (VfB Stuttgart/Germany) Yuse Sugawara (AZ Alkmaar/Netherlands) Yo Fujii Ya (Nagoya Grampus) Sota Miura (Ventforet Kofu) *12/20 additional call-up MF/FW Junya Ito (Stade Reims/France) Takuma Asano (VfL Bochum/Germany) Takumi Minamino (AS Monaco/France) Ryotaro Ito (Shin) Totruyden VV/Belgium) * Ritsu Doan (SC Freiburg/Germany) Kiyo Ueda (Feyenoord/Netherlands) Ao Tanaka (Fortuna Düsseldorf/Germany) Tasushi Okunuki (1.FC Nuremberg/Germany) Takumu Kawamura (Sanfrecce) Hiroshima) Keito Nakamura (Stade Reims/France) Kaishu Sano (Kashima Antlers) Masahiro Hosoya (Kashiwa Reysol) *First selection for SAMURAI BLUE▼Please subscribe to the channel▼ https://www.youtube.com/tvtokyo_sports # Soccer #Japan National Team #SAMURAIBLUE #TV Tokyo #Sports #SPORTS #TV Tokyo
