[U-18] China Expedition Day 6

Woke up at 8am today.
Some players are starting to feel a little tired, but overall they greeted the morning with good expressions.

Each person spent the morning relaxing in preparation for the evening game.
During lunch, we received words of encouragement from Mr. Hu, who is accompanying us on this expedition, to the players: "The performance of the Japanese team is amazing. We will definitely win today. Let's do our best."

And the opponent for the third group stage match is Wolfsburg.
A difficult start on a wet pitch due to the water sprinkled before the match and the rain that fell with the kickoff.
Overwhelmed by Wolfsburg's high technique and speed, they give up three points in the first half.
However, the players did not give up and fought back with a goal from Kazuyoshi Miyata in the 35th minute of the second half.
However, the opponent added one more point and we lost 1-4.
As a result, we finished third in the group stage and will now move on to the lower tournament.
After the game, there were players who couldn't stand up due to tears of regret.
Players who faced high-level opponents and experienced the world level.
With this experience in mind, we will face Shandong Luneng, who are currently in 4th place in Group B, tomorrow.
