We woke up to an unexpectedly cool morning, considering the weather on the first day.
Despite some players showing signs of fatigue from yesterday's game, everyone made sure to eat a proper breakfast and work towards recovering from exhaustion.

The highlights of the current tournament, which are being broadcasted live on site since morning, are also being shown on TV in the cafeteria. While eating, I watch the goal scenes that I don't want to see too much, as well as the scenes of conceding, multiple times in the morning, afternoon, and evening.

The match was rescheduled from 17:00 to 16:00 due to the heat subsiding.

The opponent is the local team Shandong Luneng. Many supporters gathered, making it the most away game of the tournament.
The game was dominated by ball possession, with Tokyo attacking and Shandong defending.

Despite holding onto the ball, they were unable to score and the game ended with a goal conceded from a counterattack.
Despite continued pressure on the goal, they were unable to score and ended up losing 0-1.
 

Mr. Hu, who had been accompanying us on our away games, will be leaving the team after this match. We fought to win and express our gratitude, but we couldn't send him off with a smile.
However, I received a message from Mr. Kure saying, "I'll be cheering for you in the last game!"

The day after tomorrow, the last game in China will be against Australia's Newcastle Jets FC.

At the end of the meeting held after dinner, the players performed a variety show to boost the team's spirits for the game the day after tomorrow.
The team's atmosphere has become even better, with the whole room filled with laughter (even when it becomes quiet...).

Only 3 days left until the expedition.
I want to aim for further growth with the team.
