- Day 5 -

〇4-3
vs Incheon Football Park
1st Half 2-0
2nd Half 0-2
3rd Match 2-1

While I felt that many Korean teams are characterized by their forward momentum, this team was one that defended deep in their half and launched counterattacks after regaining possession of the ball.
The U-15 Musashi had the ball for a significant amount of time, and the players, who have not experienced this much in Japan, seemed a bit confused.

The build-up of the defense, the tempo of the midfield passing, and the way to break through in front of the goal required a higher level of quality as the opponent defended deeply.
It was a match where individual skills were challenged, as there were issues with inaccurate passes, excessive touches that disrupted the rhythm, and the inability to position oneself advantageously to advance the ball.

Tonight, I went to an all-you-can-eat samgyeopsal place. In Korea, there is a particular way to grill samgyeopsal, and I was eating deliciously while being taught by the staff.

I will do my best on the final day tomorrow with the power of samgyeopsal!

- Day 6 -
Final day of the South Korea expedition.
Many players were on their first overseas expedition, but all the Korean dishes were delicious, and there were no issues with the meals.

【Match 1】
vs FC KHT (30 minutes x 3 halves)
Draw 6-6
First Half 1-3
Second Half 2-0
3rd Match 3-0

This match was against a 2nd year junior high school student, one grade above.
It was a match against opponents who were taller and had larger physiques than any team we faced during the expedition period.

Until now, when facing second graders, we often fell behind early due to speed and power, but we started the match well, showed battles at the ball, and the players demonstrated growth during this expedition.

Still a first-year junior high school student, there is plenty of room for growth off the pitch as well.
As the matches progressed, the time spent discussing as a team increased, and there was a noticeable attitude among the players to take the initiative in solving issues.

Looking back on these six days, it started with heavy snowfall.
We were forced to change the schedule due to the venue being unavailable, but thanks to Mr. Jin and Mr. Shin, who attended on-site, we were able to go through the entire schedule without any issues. We truly appreciate your help. Thank you very much.

There were no injuries or illnesses, and the players' growth was maximized. It was a fruitful expedition to South Korea.

Thank you for your continued support for their growth.
