Japan captain Makoto Hasebe urged his team to sharpen up for Tuesday's World Cup qualifier against Australia, saying the victories over Oman and Jordan are a thing of the past.
Japan will try to make it three wins out of three against Australia in their first away test of the final round, after dominating Oman and Jordan at home in the past week with a total of nine goals and none against.
But Hasebe, who will face his old coach in Holger Osieck from their days together at Urawa Reds, said after training on Sunday the Japanese players must approach Australia with a mindset different to the one from the Oman and Jordan games.
