[U-18] Abu Dhabi Expedition Day 4

On the fourth day of the Abu Dhabi expedition, training will be conducted from 10 AM.
The practice venue is Banyas Academy.



The training ground adjacent to the stadium has a wonderful environment with seven natural grass pitches, but on the other side of the single road, a desert stretched for several kilometers.

Today, we had a focused practice in refreshing weather, and we also worked on a running session at the end.

Practice will be held before the practice match starting at 5:30 PM!
The opponent on this day is the players of the Banyas Academy, who usually practice at this venue.




From the start, the opponent had a good pace, and it became a very engaging development in the battle for control over transitions and ball contests.
Tokyo's Oya, who started on this day, cuts in from the right side to score the opening goal.
Next, Anri Takahashi scored an additional point with a well-aimed shot.
After that, we conceded a goal from a penalty kick, and the first half ends here.

The second half will start a little later as halftime coincided with the time for worship and prayer.
It was a sight unique to the UAE.

As the second half began, the opponent's momentum increased, but our defense did not allow them to create any clear chances.
After that, Sakurai and Kawaguchi scored a goal with a play that stole the ball from good defense in the front line, making it 4-1.
We conceded a goal due to our mistake, but in the end, Tanimura pushed in the loose ball, and we finished the match 5-2.


We won, but our energy and play accuracy dropped in the final stages, so I want to overcome that challenge in the remaining two days!
