The schedule for day 3 was training in the morning and a training match with Sparta Rotterdam in the afternoon.
The morning training was held at a ground owned by a local club team about a 15-minute walk from the dormitory.
We did training in a one-on-one format, shooting training while checking the flow until the finish, and finally played a 15-minute half game with the tournament format in mind.
After training, we return to the dormitory and have a meal to prepare for the afternoon training match.
After a bus ride of about an hour and a half to the Sparta Rotterdam ground, we will start warming up immediately.
And the game begins in the pouring cold rain.
From coach Yukihiko SATO, the goal for this game is to score within the first 15 minutes and play aggressively on both offense and defense.
Tawarazumida makes many chances by dribbling through from the left side and invading until the goal, but cannot shoot easily, and the first half ends with a scoreless draw.
After changing the members, we approached the second half with a focus on the first 15 minutes again.
At 37 minutes, Toharu sends the ball behind the opposing DF, but Mariek's cross is blocked by the DF.
Baba calmly guides this loose ball into the goal, taking the lead.
In addition, in the 38th minute immediately after, Tawaradzuma Tsumita, who dribbled into the PA, was fouled and won a penalty kick. Mariek calmly converted it, widening the lead to two points.
Musashi wanted to score an additional point, but in the 47th minute, they allowed a goal to the opponent who broke through their defense, resulting in a 2-1 score.
Although we wanted to win as it is, we allowed an additional goal to be scored by the opponent on the right side in the 68th minute just before the end, resulting in a 2-2 draw.
Training in the morning on the 4th day, followed by a training match in the afternoon.
We would like to face our challenges once again and prepare for the final training and training matches for this tournament.
