Japan head coach Michihisa Kano is looking forward to a difficult game against the Falconets of Nigeria.
The former world champions will battle the Falconets in a Round of 16 encounter at the Estadio El Techo, Bogota on Friday morning.
The Asians were in unbeaten in the group stage and are favourites to win the game.
Kano is however expecting a difficult duel against the West Africans.
“It was very good that we won all three matches but we know that the opponents will be tougher from now on,” Kano was quoted by FIFA.com.
“We need to work on improving our condition and the team’s chemistry. All the remaining teams that we will face from here on will be strong, so we must be well prepared.”
