Entering the 5th day of the France expedition.
Take a walk in a slightly different place than usual to check the condition.
Eat a good breakfast and prepare well.

The first match of the second day of the qualifying league is against Genk from Belgium.
The players are all facing the same direction, and they have high motivation both as individuals and as a team. Their condition is also improving, and they want to have a good fight.

Fukagawa applies coordinated pressing from the front line to increase the time spent in the opponent's court by stealing the ball from there.
In the midst of that, Iwano receives a foul in front of the penalty area and earns a direct free kick. Imano then directly shakes the net and scores the opening goal.

We approached the second half by replacing players and continued to play aggressively both in attack and defense, resulting in a 1-0 victory.
It became a victory that we won together.

I had some free time until the second match, so I watched other matches of the same age group.

Receive good stimulation and further enhance motivation.
The opponent of the second match is Gangan.
The game started as we gained our first victory and felt the momentum of the team coming together.
However, we were unfortunately conceded an early goal by the opponent.
Afterwards, both teams created chances but failed to score, and the first half ended with a score of 0-1.
In the second half, which was approached with a player substitution, they equalized with Hirano's goal and continued to create chances afterwards.

However, if we cannot decide this, we will allow a winning goal in the final moments and lose 1-2.
Tomorrow we will fight in the ranking determination match.

I want the team to come together as one and challenge to win all the remaining matches.
