[U-15 Musashi] 2nd day of Netherlands expedition

On the second day, we had a training match between Feyenoord and AZ Alkmaar.

The morning gathering starts with a walk and exercises in the dark at 6am before the sun rises, to prepare our bodies for the game.

After breakfast, we took a bus and arrived at Feyenoord's training ground after about an hour and a half of travel.
I faced the match against Feyenoord with amazement at the greatness of the environment.

Unable to convert multiple shooting opportunities into goals despite actively pressing and taking the ball from the start.
MUSASHI, who continued to attack, scored the first goal in the 8th minute when Fujisaki did not miss the opponent's control mistake and dribbled in to score.

As the game progresses, the opponent's engine gradually starts to run and they continue to attack our goal, but our defense remains focused and responds accordingly.
Additional point at 32 minutes, Maeno reacts to the pass from the opponent DF behind, calmly scoring the second goal against the opponent GK in a one-on-one situation.
Despite conceding a goal early in the second half, Tawara Tsumita cuts off the opponent GK's pass and scores a goal in the 71st minute, maintaining the momentum and leading 3-1.
In addition, in the 75th minute, Taguchi scored the fourth goal, and the first match of the Netherlands tour ended with a 4-1 victory.

After the match, the top team of Feyenoord was training on the adjacent field, and we all went to watch before returning to our accommodations.

In the afternoon, we will have a training match with AZ Alkmaar. A bus that is actually used by the top players of AZ Alkmaar came to pick us up at the accommodation.

After about 1 hour of travel, we arrived at the venue.
Started warming up while being amazed by the greatness of the environment and facilities here.

4 minutes into the game, we were overwhelmed by the opponent's energy and speed, and conceded the first goal. Despite numerous attempts, we were constantly threatened by their attacks, but Doi and Kamiyama showed strong defense and managed to hold on until halftime.

In the second half, we struggled against the speed and strength of our physically larger opponents and desperately played, but we were continuously scored on and the game ended 0-3.

Parts where our soccer worked and parts where it didn't work.
It was a meaningful day where I could experience both the differences with the world.
