-Day 4-

Yesterday's travel took about 7 hours in total, and the players seemed to be showing signs of fatigue, but they were energetically having breakfast and replenishing their energy for the match.

Results
〇9-5
[First Half] 2-2
[Second Half] 7-3

In this match, players who have shown growth during the expedition to Korea appeared. Many teams are fielding second-year junior high school students in this expedition. Among them, there was particularly noticeable growth in battles for the ball during defensive situations. However, there were also several instances where players were overtaken by speed and power, providing a learning opportunity on how to individually excel against faster players.

[Match 2]

[First Half] 0-3
[2nd Half] 0-0
[3rd] 4-0

In this match, we conceded 2 goals early in the first half against a second-year junior high school team. The coach said, "Let's challenge ourselves more. If we're going to lose like this, it's better to challenge a lot, fail, and lose, as that will help us grow." Perhaps feeling liberated by this, we boldly took on the challenge and ended up turning the game around.
Although there was fatigue, not a single player held back and played to the best of their ability.

The uniform exchange after the match was very lively. Despite feeling the language barrier, we did our best to communicate with gestures and body language.
The joy of being able to communicate with foreigners who do not use a common language, and the frustration felt when communication fails, seems to be a wall that they, who aspire to become professional soccer players in the future, must overcome.
I believe that they are daily stimulated by various environments where things like countries, temperatures, food, and languages differ, and that they have received new stimuli to their values.
