U-15 Fukagawa France Expedition Day 2

On the morning of the second day, the planned walk was canceled due to heavy rain, and we are waiting until breakfast time.
After breakfast, we will take a bus for an hour to move to the Paris Saint-Germain grounds.

After arriving, we had a discussion with Mr. Oguri, who attended us, about the differences between overseas and Japan, as well as the importance of this tournament. After that, we had lunch at the restaurant next to the field.

After lunch, a meeting was held in preparation for the first training match of this expedition (3 sessions of 30 minutes each).

During the meeting, we experienced foreign players in this training match, confirmed set plays, and checked for coordination.

On the second day, there were valuable experiences abroad, including being hit by a heavy downpour during the upload.

In the first half, we conceded 2 goals by around the 15th minute, and although Matsumoto scored 1 goal after the 20th minute, we immediately conceded another goal due to our own mistake, making it 1-3.

Before the second match begins, Coach Fujiyama explains the meaning of this expedition to all the players once again.
We tightened our focus and increased our aggressive play, but it was 0-1.

In the third match, both the players and the ball started to move from the beginning, increasing the chances of bringing the ball to the opponent's goal, and Miyoshi scored the opening goal.
However, immediately after scoring, we conceded a goal, resulting in a 1-1 draw despite improvements in performance.
The match ended with a total of 2-5 from 3 shots.

Confirmed in the pre-match meeting
1. Understanding the characteristics of foreign players
2. Feeling how far we can compete
3. Feeling the weight of representing Japan and the emblem
It was a match where we could strongly feel these three points.

Tomorrow, we will have a training match against Montreal at the venue used for the tournament.
