The Weifang Cup 2017 has started today.
The first opponent is Deportivo Brazil, the previous champion.
The kickoff took place in the harsh heat of 35 degrees and 80% humidity.

Tokyo, who cannot grasp the rhythm and tempo unique to Brazil, concedes a goal in the first half at the 30-minute mark.
After that, GK Takahashi maintained a high level of concentration and did not allow any additional points, ending the first half.
However, early in the second half, they conceded 3 goals and then lost 6 goals by being scored additional points.
The attacking unit was unable to score and ended up with a 0-6 result.

Although there were some moments where it worked, in the midst of this harsh environment, both Tokyo and Brazil showed their game skills, with Tokyo making a few mistakes and Brazil taking advantage of them.
 

Moved to the stadium in the afternoon and watched the opening game of this tournament between China U-19 and Wolfsburg.
The game ended in a 1-1 draw with both teams playing at a high level and having large physical presence.
Both teams are in the same group, so the players were watching the game while imagining it.

In the evening, the players hold a meeting, followed by a team meeting.
There was a discussion about the challenges faced in today's match, as well as the importance of nutrition and sleep in fighting in this heat.

Tomorrow, we will have a match against the Chinese U-19 national team.
This will be a game where our hopes of advancing to the top group will be dashed if we lose.
I want to approach the game in the best condition possible.
