While Huerzeler admits the temperatures and humidity in Japan have been tough for his players, he hopes they will reap the rewards when the season starts.

Huerzeler told a press conference today: "Of course, it's a little bit different to Brighton.

"But I think there's also a mindset thing. So, for me, there are no excuses.

"Of course, we have to adapt to the climate, to the humidity here.

"I hope that the players suffer. I hope that we suffer together.

"I hope that we see a good performance tomorrow. Especially also this training week. Because in the end we are in a pre season.

"We have to use every day and there are no excuses.

"So I demand from the players and from all the staff members that we suffer together and go through this humidity or this hot temperature. So it can't be an excuse."
