New Japan National team coach Mr. Ivica Osim, who made contract with JFA on 21th July, had a victory start against Trinidad and Tobago in Tokyo. Mr. Osim selected only 13 men at his first announcement of new national team. He said in his inaugural press conference, "I want to bring out Japanese latent power, to play Japanicshe football. Japanisim in football is the agility, the aggressiveness, and the technique." The best coach for us came after the Germany 2006 disappointment.
