Today is the Evergrande Cup Semifinal Round.
Players who strongly carry the "Pride of FC Tokyo" after yesterday's match in Hangzhou Green City.
Although there was a slight sense of tension, the players' expressions reflected a sense of pride and responsibility, as if to say, "We are FC Tokyo."

The pitch is in the same location as the previous day. It cannot be said that the pitch conditions are good.
The ball doesn't roll properly, and if it's a morning match, the pitch, dampened by morning dew, is in a state where
◈ in some places, if you try to dig in, you might slip.
However, by the fifth day of the tournament, the players were completely unconcerned and focused on the match.

Boost morale!	Finally, Semifinal Round

In the first half, Tokyo attacks while firmly maintaining possession of the ball.
Attacking the Sydney goal with a game flow that doesn't show the pitch conditions.
In the 20th minute, Yachida received the ball on the left side and made a sharp run up the side with his signature dribbling, delivering a precise cross to Miyata who had moved inside.
Miyata firmly connects with a volley to score the opening goal.
With this, Tokyo, riding the wave, begins to connect the ball around Yokota, Shiratori, and Kimura, completely taking control of the game.
In the 36th minute, Yokota received the ball in midfield and dribbled into the opponent's center, delivering a through pass to Miyata, who had made a run behind the defender.
Miyata scores again to secure an additional point.
Just before the end of the first half, Yoshifumi earned a penalty by dribbling past three opposing DF players, securing the third goal.

Battles for the Ball

In the second half, Tokyo brought in Tohsaka and Shiraishi to add more emphasis to their attack.
◈41 minutes in. Tosaka slices through the opponent's center with a dribble and passes to Shiraishi, who is making a run!! Shiraishi carries it to the goal and shoots!! They score the fourth goal.
The players who came on as substitutes show their determination in the game as if to "show off" themselves.
Tokyo continued to dominate the game and repeatedly threatened the Sydney goal.
In the 67th minute, Kaneko stole the ball and passed it to Yokota, who appeared in midfield. Kobayashi then sprinted up the side, creating space for Shiraishi to make a run.
When the pass from Yokota reaches Shiraishi, the goalkeeper approaches him as he breaks through the defensive line, but he calmly loops the pass to Miyata, who scores to complete his hat-trick.
The goal involved many players from the team.
The match ended 6-0. I hope for the Final Round with the players who are becoming stronger day by day.
 

The opponent in the Final Round is Guangzhou Evergrande, the tournament organizers. Various game developments are expected in the opponent's home environment, but I want to make effective use of tomorrow's day off to prepare thoroughly.
