New national football coach is coming to Japan.
It is Javier Aguirre.
He is man who was the Mexico national coach in the past.
Compared with the former coach Zaccheroni, he has an opposite thinking.
Zaccheroni is the coach that want the players express the football of free thinking, but Aguirre is the one that thinks a great deal of discipline philosophy.
It might be a right choice for Japanese football.
He seeks the team to obtain “teamwork” is “haste”, not the individual skills.
He seeks the players to obtain “Pressing strength”, “physical strength” and a balance of the offense and defense.
It doesn’t mean it is a team with the only strong defense, it means all need the balance.
Players with the only offensive strength may not survive in Aguirre Japan.
Some players come to my mind.
The players could obtain “physical strength” in the training, however I think the players may not obtain “Pressing strength” by practicing in the J-League. They would obtain it by practicing with big foreign players.
There is no doubt that we would see a new style of Japanese football in the future.
Stay tuned!
