He said: "It is an important competition for us. We want to win it and we can win it.
"The team is doing very well at the moment and we want to carry that on in Japan. We are going to take this tournament very seriously because there's another title on offer and if we can win it then it'll be our second trophy already this season and our third this year.
"The manager will prepare us properly for the games and, although we didn't know too much about the other teams before we travelled out here, I'm sure we'll be well briefed before kick-off."
