England Expedition Day 3.
The "Premier League U15 International Tournament 2018" will kick off today.
Arrived at Chelsea FC's training ground, which will be the main venue for the tournament.

There, the club house is equipped with 33 fields, a dome, a dining room exclusively for the academy, a medical room, and lockers available for 12 teams, and the players were overwhelmed by the amazing facilities.

At the opening ceremony, the group stage matchups were determined through a live draw, and Tokyo was placed in the same group as Blackburn, Manchester City, and Arsenal.

The first opponent is Blackburn.
Tokyo presses the opponent's build-up from the DF line, with Tawara and Moritsugi at the front, to steal the ball.

And they connected the stolen ball to an attack with a short counter, but despite shots from Kato and Iwane, the first half ended 0-0 without a goal.

In the second half, we will increase our ball possession rate in the midfield and create a rhythm.
Left side's Matsumoto is actively attacking vertically and returns to the center, but Iwane shoots in the penalty area and hits the top of the bar.
In addition, Kajiura's left foot shot and Konno's heading shot also threatened the opponent's goal, but they couldn't score and the game ended in a 0-0 tie.

Tomorrow, Manchester City and Arsenal, who are considered to be the top contenders in this tournament, will face each other.

We aim for victory to advance to the final round. Thank you for your support!
