Day 8 of the expedition.
Today, we want to prepare our condition firmly for tomorrow's final round.
In the morning, we thoroughly performed maintenance on our bodies and senses through stretching and ball feeling, and then we sweated through ball passing.
By the 8th day of the expedition, the boundaries between Fukagawa and Musashi are almost imperceptible, and it is possible to feel the unity of one team.
Players from Guangzhou also participated in the training. |
Afternoon's revenge match against Shandong Luneng, who lost in the second group league match.
Although it was a training match, it was the only loss during this expedition for the team, so the players are determined to "show FC Tokyo's strength this time".
The match was played in a 25-minute format.
The match was dominated by Tokyo, who controlled the ball throughout and used their skillful passing to outplay the opposing defense. They also showed strength in the physical battles and were able to recover all loose balls.
The result was a 5-1 victory for Tokyo. It was a game where they seemed to take out their frustration from the previous defeat, and each player fought with the pride of Tokyo.
Take control of the offense and defense | Feel the sense of unity as a team |
Tomorrow's opponent is the tournament host, Guangzhou Evergrande.
With a huge financial backing, China has become a powerhouse team, even receiving coaches from Real Madrid.
So far, based on the theme of "conversation with teammates" shown by Coach Okuhara in our daily lives, each player has become more aware and connected. As a result, the Fukagawa and Musashi combined team has experienced more moments where they truly feel like one team.
It has become a good team.
That's why I want to win tomorrow's final round and show the team "FC Tokyo" to China.
