Thailand U17 women's team, Myanmar U17 women's team and China U17 women's team are all strong teams. Our goal is to get through the group stage to enter the quarter-finals, and then the highest goal is to win a ticket to the World Cup. The necessary things, the whole team has prepared quite well," he said.
Besides professional factors, the Japanese coach also expressed caution about the weather conditions in Suzhou.
I'm also a little worried because it's quite cold here. Now the important thing is to get used to and take care of each person's health. This is a basic factor," he added.
According to the plan, on April 30, the Vietnam U17 women's team will continue to practice to improve tactics and get used to the match schedule. On May 1, coach Okiyama Masahiko and his team will enter the opening match against Thailand U17 women's team.
