Singapore scored a loss and a win in their first two friendlies of their tour of Japan as they look forward to their final test against Albirex Niigata.
The Lions conceded a 3-2 loss to Niigata University of Health and Welfare (NUHW) before beating Japan Soccer College (JSC) 2-0.
âThe weather is somewhat like it is back home, so itâs not a problem,â said head V. Sundramoorthy. âWeâre training in the Albirex training centre where thereâs four natural grass pitches and two artificial pitches.
âAs Iâve said before, this tour is not about results, but more about giving opportunities to players, working on areas which we need to work on and find the right mix for the team.
âEveryone from the seniors to the new players are fighting hard for their places, but also working and pushing one another at the same time. Itâs very encouraging to see them being so united.â
