Fourth day of the Sweden expedition.
Today, we have a training match against the U-18 team of Varberg Bois, a club in the second division of the Swedish league, located about an hour by bus from our accommodation in the city of Varberg.
The match will be conducted in a modified format of 3 sets (30 minutes - 20 minutes - 20 minutes).

As yesterday, we advance the game favorably against a physically strong opponent one grade above us with possession attacks, but we struggle to score.

In the 22nd minute, Yasuda sent a corner kick from the left to the center, where Furuya scored with a volley, taking the lead.
After that, there were more situations where we were pushed back by the opponent's strength in ball contests, but we responded tenaciously and did not allow any goals.

Umehara in the second set.
In the third set, Takahashi, who also joined from U-15 like Yasuda, scored an additional point, leading to a victory of 3-0.

In the afternoon, the players spent their free time by heading to the city center of Varberg, visiting the historical site of the fortress (Varberg Castle and Fortress), shopping, and watching the World Cup third place match at a public viewing in the city.

Tomorrow, we will move our accommodation to Gothenburg, the venue for the Gothia Cup main tournament, to prepare for the event.
