【U-15 Fukagawa】France Expedition Day 2

On the second day of the France expedition, we took a walk at 7am and had a fun morning exercise with Coach Oshima.
The players seem to sleep well and wake up firmly in the morning.
I am conscious of not losing weight even though it is a different meal than usual.

Afterwards, move to Paris Saint-Germain's facility.
We were able to secure the ground for us, even canceling the selection for elementary school students.
In the morning, we move our bodies and prepare for the afternoon training match.
In the afternoon, we will do one-on-one drills that we have been building up, and finally we will face Paris Saint-Germain.

The atmosphere has been great since the warm-up, and the cheers have become even louder as the tournament is about to begin.
Prepares the mind and body with the warm-up of Trainer Sekido and Coach Oshima.
The match started with a push and we were able to take the ball from the defense and enter a good rhythm.
The first goal came from a one-on-one buildup, earning a free kick and resulting in an own goal.
The second goal was a middle shot by Yasuda.
Fukagawa, who is aiming for an additional point, also experiences a different defense range due to the opponent GK's strong middle shot being blocked by Kajiwara.
In the second half, the opponent's press intensified and we were pushed back at the beginning. However, as we got used to it, we gradually pushed back using the experience we have accumulated so far.
A FW who combines the size of a head, speed, strength, and skill that cannot be experienced in Japan, and a wide defensive range that can be penetrated even if you think you won't be taken and a defense that can go all the way.
◈I felt a strong power that could easily take away the flow if I let my guard down even for a moment, but today we were able to surpass our opponents with our hard work, adaptability, and heightened awareness of the ball.
After the game, there will be a clubhouse tour and a meeting back at the hotel.
At the meeting, a debate between Coach Oshima was held, and we cultivated the power of logical communication.
This may have been a trigger for the players themselves to realize that there is still a lack of "communication" in this expedition.
We will nurture the necessary communication for a strong team and grow with each battle!
