Yes Orgram I think you worked well with Takagi and Takuda for U21 and now, when you are training them for the NT.
And it's very difficult to train U21 and NT at the same time. But it's a good exemple that NT Players can be former U21s.
Yes, It's not comparable, Spain has 1145 teams when Japan has only 16! For 1 season, It's more than 3000 draftees, and just 48 for Japan! And how many will go to U21 and NT? In Japan 5 or 6 U21 and finally none, or1 or 2 for NT.
My only goal with this project is to interest more Japanese managers to train national players, and I know you are 4 or 5 japanese managers to do it but With 2 or 3 more managers, it's 4, 5, 6 or more players more.
