(Is it something like “judgment ability�)
What is as importantly required for players as judgment ability is their predictive skills and this applies to other sports especially ball games. When players have good predictive abilities, they are able to start pressing at the right timing.
(What did you think of the training match against the Meiji University team on the seventh?)
To me, training matches are continuation of training sessions. During the morning training sessions on the seventh, I did not reduce the burden just because there would be a training match in the afternoon. I provided my players with a usual training program. For this reason, players only played for 45 minutes. As for the result of the match, to be honest with you, I do not really care about that. It is true that I did not focus on the result. I think the players did play relatively well. As far as I am concerned, training matches are part of training sessions.
