“Until now, we have often played with a four-man defender line, but we have prepared a new system to expand the range of our plays both as a team and as individuals,”Ikeda was quoted by the official website of the Japanese Football Federation.

” I am satisfied with the efforts of the players towards that. In the first half, we thought a lot about the impact of the new system, and we didn’t have enough actions behind the defense line and shots toward the goal.

” I think the fact that we were able to win well in the international match also contributed to the achievement.”
