[U-15 Musashi] 6th day of the Netherlands expedition

The international tournament "Marc-Olivier Fermar Easter International Tournament" will be held from today.

Fight in a tough schedule of 4 group stage matches, each lasting 15 minutes per half.

The first match is against Brazil's Laranja Mecanica.
Intense battles on the field, with neither side giving an inch in a back-and-forth exchange.
Unable to convert some chances into goals through Tawaratsumida's dribbling and Mariek's runs behind the defense, which have become the team's attacking style.

The opponent had some chances, such as a shot from a cross hitting the crossbar, but we maintained our concentration until the end and the game ended 0-0.

The second match is against PEC Zwolle from the Netherlands.
Opponent who aims to build from the defensive line using the traditional Dutch 4-3-3 system, we do not give space in the midfield centered around Baba and Tobari, and create chances from counterattacks.

In the second half, Tawaratsumida receives the ball stolen from the opponent, dribbles into the goal area, and takes a shot, but it hits the post and does not score.
The goal was far away until the end, and the second game also ended 0-0.

The third match is against AZ Alkmaar from the Netherlands.
On the second day of the expedition, we will also be playing against [opponent], making it a revenge match.
They create many opportunities to take the ball from the sea shells and Fujimoto's coordinated aggressive defense and create scenes to cross, but they are unable to score goals easily.
AZ had a player on the left side who was excellent in both height and speed, but Doi and Kamiyama responded well and did not allow the opponent to play as they wished.
This match also ended in a scoreless 0-0 draw without either team giving in.

The 4th Round is a match against RSC Anderlecht from Belgium.
Although the opponent has highly skilled players in terms of physical abilities, the Musashi players continue to run without taking a step back, aiming for victory.

However, in the 23rd minute, they took advantage of a momentary gap and conceded a goal as the opponent dribbled in from the left side to the center.
We aim for the goal without giving up until the end, but we lost 0-1.

Finished 4th in the group stage with 3 wins, 1 draw, and 1 loss, and on the second day, it became the league of the 4th and 5th place groups.
We will do our best to work even harder to "change" ourselves in the remaining 3 matches than we are now.
