"We will play with the strength of all our 12 players", added Saegusa about the match against Turkey
Rosario, Argentina, August 20, 2017 - Pool D current leaders Japan will have a crucial game next against Turkey, the reason why coach Daichi Saegusa wants his squad to do even better than their superb output against China on Sunday.
Daichi Saegusa, Japan coach: “We keep improving and we’re playing with calm. We received well and could display our attack combinations because of that. But against Turkey we must improve so much more - we have to serve well to compensate the lower attacking and blocking reach we have, and also defend well against them. The match tomorrow will be decisive and after that we’ll see where we land, but we will play with the strength of all our 12 players.”

Rena Mizusugi, Japan libero: “I don’t feel that I played well today, but the team did and we could win; that’s the most important aspect of our game. Now we will face Turkey, they have a very high and neat block; we know that and we will try to give our best in the defending and serving phase to beat them.”
Xu Jiande, China coach: “Japan was technically a lot stronger than China today. They played perfectly and didn’t give us a chance to recover during the game. Now we need to clear our heads and prepare for the next match.”
