Day 2 of the tournament, the second match of the group stage will be against China's Shandong Luneng Football School.
As I wrote yesterday, it is known as a prestigious training ground in China and has produced many national team players.
This luxurious facility also has a 31-field soccer ground here, by the way.

Increase concentration from warming up	Players receiving instructions at the meeting

Received a meeting from Coach Okuhara saying, "Let's come up with ways to improve our team's approach to games."

Player Entrance

The game started calmly and proceeded with a stable game plan from the beginning.
As expected, FC Tokyo continues to dominate the ball while Shandong looks to counterattack.
In the meantime, we were on guard for an early cross from the side during yesterday's match, but we ended up conceding the first goal with a powerful shot that split our center back.

Shortly after the start of the second half, the opposing player's leg cramps, and as expected, Tokyo's opponent's legs start to slow down.
However, it is difficult to break through the opponent's defense, which quickly and strongly closes in on the ball when entering the zone and firmly secures the goal area.
In addition, FC Tokyo's attacking itself seems to be in a hurry, resulting in many long balls from the defenders. This also causes the attack to be biased towards the center, making it easy for the opposing defenders, who have many players marking them, to intercept.
Afterwards, the game ended without being able to create a decisive chance.
There were unlucky moments, such as the ball hitting the post twice, but it is also necessary for the players on the field to identify the weaknesses of the opponent and maintain a calm game plan.
I want to make use of this experience in the future.

The final group stage match against Guangzhou Green City Football School will be played the day after tomorrow, after a day of rest tomorrow.
A match that will determine whether the team advances to the final round based on the goal difference. The opponent is a strong enemy with 8 players from the Chinese national team in this age group, but we want to win solidly and advance to the knockout stage.
