Today, the third day of the Abu Dhabi expedition, we will have practice at Al Jazira Academy.

The training environment was excellent, with multiple natural turf fields installed, just like yesterday at this facility!
We still have some fatigue from the second day of the friendly match, but we trained hard this morning as well.

During the lunch break, we conducted individual interviews with each player to clarify their goals and identify future challenges.

We will use our time outside of practice not only for rest, but also for our own benefit.
We will have training from 5 PM in the afternoon and prepare for the 6 PM kickoff match.

Today's opponent is the academy team of Al-Jazeera, which belongs to the AG League that I watched yesterday, and they are players of the same generation.

The match started with FC Tokyo dominating the pace, but they conceded the first goal from a set piece.
Okazaki scores the equalizer from a corner kick, despite not being able to create many shooting opportunities.
Return to the beginning of the match.

In the second half, the game will be a back-and-forth battle, but Okazaki once again scores a goal and successfully turns the game around to 2-1.
We wanted to turn the tables and tighten our focus, but we were immediately caught off guard and conceded a goal. 2-2.

After that, we ended the game with a draw as we were unable to score despite creating several scoring opportunities.

The substitute members also shouted from the bench, making it a very intense game that we wanted to win.
I want to thoroughly review today's game and overcome our challenges in tomorrow's practice.

Players clean not only their own bench after the game, but also the area around the opponent's bench.

The third day is over today, and I think the players are starting to feel fatigued, but we will continue to push ourselves and raise our game to the next level.
