Vissel Kobe striker Yoshito Okubo is targeting more goals for Japan after finally opening his national team account.
Okubo ended a 20-match drought in Japan's last game of 2007 against Egypt and the 25-year-old wants to pick up where he left off when the three-time Asian champions usher in a new era under Takeshi Okada against Chile in Tokyo on Saturday.
"Obviously it would be great if I could solve the problems in front of goal that (former coaches) Zico and (Ivica) Osim used to talk about," Okubo said after Thursday's behind-closed-doors training session at National Stadium.
