【Challenge to the next stage】
Prince Takamado Trophy U-18 Football League 2017 Premier League EAST Sec. 12 will be held at "(Funabashi City Houtoku Park (Grasspo) Ground)".
Versus Funabashi High School.
As the temperature rises to nearly 30℃, Coach Sato says, "We need to show what we have built up so far and play against FC Tokyo U-18."
Let's make our organization stronger. I haven't won since I took command on this ground. Let's win and go back to Tokyo to rewrite history," he encourages the players and sends them onto the pitch.
Both teams' fans, supporters, and parents gathered in large numbers to enhance the atmosphere, and the match started at 11:00 with Tokyo's kickoff.
【First Half】
Battle for the championship and survival. Both teams want to accumulate 3 points, and the game starts with intense back and forth attacks and defenses, with both teams threatening the goal.
The first chance was for Ichifune. In the 4th minute, they broke through the left side and were able to put in a cross from Grander.
The ball, which seemed to be a goal if touched, passed through the goal area and escaped the danger.
In the 14th minute, Tokyo, who had been attacking from the right side, had the ball taken away by Ichifune and were caught off guard with a long vertical pass, leading to a one-on-one situation with Takase.
However, Takase blocks the opponent's scoring opportunity with a good defense.
After just 15 minutes, Tokyo threw the ball in from the left side of the opponent's field to Kubo, who quickly made a run behind the defense.
Kubo enters the left PA and sends a deep cross to Arakawa, but he can't finish the scoring opportunity.
At 19 minutes, the left side was broken through again and the net was shaken, but the previous play was offside.
Then at 21 minutes, Hirakawa pressed fiercely on the left side deep inside the Ichifune team.
Kubo calmly dodged the GK after poking the opponent's ball and picked it up inside the PA to take the lead.
The game will start here with Ichifune holding the ball, and Tokyo launching short counters from the midfield press.
Ichifune attempts to build up from GK to CB.
In response to this, the opponent's CBs, Hara and Kubo, pressed and limited the course, not allowing them to have the ball freely. Although they were occasionally attacked, Shinohara and Hasegawa calmly responded and turned the game around with a 1-0 lead.
[Halftime]
Manager Sato: "This is not a game that will end like this. Let's step up our game. Let's create our own time and communicate closely on both offense and defense."
【Second Half】
We start off with a close call.
46 minutes, when a right FK was given, the ball was kicked into the far side and it seemed like a goal was scored, but it was offside.
In the 48th minute, when the opponent dribbled about 40m in the center, Takase caught the powerful shot in front.
Just like the flow from the first half, the opponent has possession of the ball, but we respond with organized defense and do not allow easy entry into our own territory.
In the 76th minute, as the tense time continued, Kobayashi (Miki) created an opportunity on the right side and passed it back to Arakawa, who then cut in.
The shot aimed at the far side, connected by Kubo who ran freely on the left side, was saved by the GK.
Tokyo continues to change their rhythm and wait for opportunities while making player substitutions.
85 minutes, when they launched a counterattack, Sugiyama received a scoring opportunity from a dribble, but was blocked by the opponent's GK's excellent defense.
In the final stage, not only do we use time wisely, but we also strengthen our defense and increase our time in the opponent's territory by pressing from the front.
The game ended without showing any gaps until the end.
The team won a fierce match, marking the first victory for coach Sato at "(Funabashi City Houtoku Park (Grasspo) Ground)", earning 3 points.
