[U-15 Fukagawa] Day 2 of France Expedition

The morning of the second day has been canceled for a walk due to heavy rain, so we will wait until breakfast time.
After breakfast, we took a bus and traveled for one hour to Paris Saint-Germain's stadium.

After arriving, we had a conversation with Mr. Oguri, who has been attending to us, about the differences between overseas and Japan, as well as the importance of this tournament. After that, we had lunch at the restaurant next to the field.

After lunch, a meeting was held to prepare for the first training match of the expedition (30 minutes x 3 matches).

In the meeting, we confirmed the feeling of foreign players in this training match, checked set plays, and confirmed coordination.

During warm-up, we experienced intense squalls, providing us with valuable overseas experience from the second day onwards.

The first goal was conceded around the 15th minute, and Matsumoto scored a goal after 20 minutes, but immediately conceded a goal due to their own mistake, resulting in a score of 1-3.

Before the start of the second game, Coach Fujiyama explained once again to all the players the meaning of this expedition.
Tightening up and increasing aggressive play, but still 0-1.

The third goal came as both the players and the ball started moving from the kick-off, creating more opportunities to carry the ball towards the opponent's goal. Miyoshi scored the opening goal.
However, immediately after scoring a goal, we conceded a goal, and the score remained 1-1 despite improvements in performance.
The game ended with a total of 3 goals, with a score of 2-5.

In the pre-match meeting, we confirmed the following:
1. Understanding the characteristics of foreign players
2. Feeling how far we can compete
3. Feeling the weight of representing Japan and the emblem
This was a match where we strongly felt these three things.

We will have a training match with Montreal at the venue where the tournament will be held tomorrow.
