US forward Balogon was interviewed a few days ago and talked about the next friendly match with the Japanese team.

Barrogon said: "I worked with Jun Ito when playing football in Lance. He is an excellent player. He transfers to Belgium this summer, and I wish him good luck."

When talking about Monaco teammate Takumi Minami, Balogon said: "I talked to him about this game before coming, and we all laughed at it. I wish him good luck, but I won't be polite on the court tomorrow."

When asked whether he would exchange jerseys with Jun Ito Minami Takumi Minami, Balogon replied: "Both must be changed, I have prepared a spare jersey."

The United States had lost 0-2 in the face of South Korea, and Balogon, who came on the bench, is expected to start against Japan. When looking forward to the game, he said: "It is undoubtedly a great pressure to represent a great country like the United States with many fans. Even if we make progress consciously, the outside world will still judge success or failure based on the results. We will do our best to win and are eager to give back the joy of fans. Failure is unacceptable."
