-Day 4-

The day starts with a walk at 8:00 in the morning. We celebrated with everyone as it is the birthday of Takumi MATSUNO and Kaito TAKAHASHI.

In the morning, it was free time and the players rested at the hotel. They took the opportunity to recover from long distance travel and fatigue from yesterday's game, in preparation for the afternoon match.

We conducted a 35-minute x 2 training match with Sparta Rotterdam U-14 from 15:30.

[First Half]
The game started off poorly, with a goal conceded in just 3 minutes due to a mistake. However, the team woke up after the goal and in the 6th minute, Sosuke TAKANO scored a header from Souma UEDA's corner kick, making the score 1-1. After that, Yuki YONEKAWA created chances for the team, but they were unable to score and the first half ended.

【2nd Half】
The second half started off with a quick pace, with two goals being scored in the first minute and 19 minutes, making the score 1-3. In the 22nd minute, player Shota Kitabayashi made a powerful breakthrough and scored a spectacular goal, bringing the total score to 2-3 and closing the gap to just one point. Then, player Sakutaro Kawada, who had been repeatedly breaking through the opponent's defense since the first half, scored two goals in the 30th and 35th minutes, turning the score around to 4-3 and securing the win. Although they were once down by two points, they never gave up and fought until the end.

After the match, we took a commemorative photo with the players of Sparta Rotterdam U-14.

Tomorrow will be the final training match before the tournament. The opponent will be Feyenoord U-14.We will work hard to achieve victory and prepare for the tournament in good shape.
