Japan should go into their final Group E match with Denmark with the same team that lost to Holland if manager Takeshi Okada has his way.

 

With the Dutch already qualified, second place goes down to the wire and Okada said “We have no time to look back as we have to focus on our next match. I have no intention of making any major modifications.”

Without the type of physical presence up front that Nicklas Bendtner will bring to the Danish attack, Okada continued “We have to be aggressive in attack, we have to be quick on set plays and connect well with the ball.”
