[U-15 Musashi] 4th Day of Netherlands Expedition

The schedule for this day included training in the morning and a training match with NAC Breda in the afternoon.

The morning training was conducted on the same ground as yesterday.
As I headed from the dormitory to the ground, I heard a familiar BGM playing.
Wow, they welcomed us with "You'll never walk alone".

And today, the bus driver who has been attending our expedition until today presented us with a uniform on the final day and we took a commemorative photo.

After receiving feedback from yesterday's training match, we made significant changes to the originally planned training content.
Completed a high-intensity training menu.

After quickly returning to the dormitory and having lunch, we moved to NAC Breda's ground by bus.
This training match was approached with the theme of "showing maximum limit".

The opponent team, who moves the ball systematically from the beginning, takes control of the pace, but everyone stays focused and goes after the ball without losing their concentration.
Gradually, the opportunities to take the ball in a good situation increased, and Musashi began to grasp the rhythm.
In the 20th minute, Maeno aggressively pressed and took the ball from the opposing DF, then passed it to Tawara Tsumeta.
Secure this and take the lead with the first goal.

The first half ends with a score of 1-0, but there were voices from the players saying "This is not enough, let's go for more goals" and they approached the second half with a very positive attitude.
Then, in the 47th minute, Tsuchi obtained a free kick in a low position and passed it to Mariek in front of the goal.
Mariku outbids a larger opponent and runs in to score an additional point.
They continued to fight with all their might until the end without slowing down their pace, and won 2-0.

The game the day before was a very meaningful match where we were able to "change" ourselves after receiving feedback.
I want to continue to play in this tournament.
