“We are very focused and happy. Our environment is peaceful and full of joy, reflecting the confidence that grows during training,” said Marcos as quoted by

The coach of Brazilian and Japanese descent is targeting victory over Malaysia in the first match because it will have an impact on the players’ self-confidence and has the potential to reduce tension and pressure in the competition in the group phase.
For this reason, Marcos wants his foster children to immediately ‘gaspol’.He has also confirmed the seven main players in the match against Malaysia, namely Medi Yoku, Pascalina Mahuze, Chelsa Berliana Nurtomo, Rara, Megawati Hangestri, Yolana Bheta Pangestika and Indah Guretno.
“The competition will definitely not be easy. We will build our path day by day, one country by country, until the goals we set together are achieved,” he said.
“Our goal is of course to win the match. That’s why the opening match is very important. If we can win, anxiety will decrease and performance can improve from day to day,” explained Marcos.
The presence of new players also affects the depth of the squad.The combination of senior players and newcomers creates a fresh dynamic in training.It is not impossible for Marcos to carry out rotations in order to maintain the tempo of the match while providing experience.
“The integration of new athletes provides additional energy. We feel a fresher and more enthusiastic atmosphere every day. We have 14 athletes who are ready to start. For the first two matches, we will rotate the two setters so that the rhythm is established,” said Marcos.
