[U-15 Fukagawa] 7th day of France expedition

Fukagawa has entered the ranking playoffs starting today.
Changed to a 16-minute half and, as it was the final day of the tournament, I switched my mindset and challenged again.

The first match is a match against Galatasaray, which includes Nagatomo, who was also a member of FC Tokyo.
The match started with many Galatasaray fans and supporters watching.
The match, in which both teams showed their emotions upfront, started with Imano scoring the opening goal.
Afterwards, the opponent continued to have the upper hand, but we maintained the lead until the second half.

As the situation continues where it is difficult to score additional points even in the second half, Makoto IMANO calmly scores a looping shot in a one-on-one situation with the goalkeeper and determines the outcome of the match with 5 minutes remaining.
The defense also held the opponent scoreless until the end, winning 2-0.

The opponent for the two matches is Odense.
Although it is an overseas team, the physical size of the players is not much different from the players of Fukagawa.
However, if our technique and movement are good, we will concede a goal in the first half if the opponent takes the initiative.
Fukagawa wanted to counterattack, but they were not given a chance to shoot and the game ended.
It was a game that felt the weight of one point.

Finishing this tournament in 18th place out of 25 teams.

At the awards ceremony, the team won the "Fair Play Award".

Furthermore, Makoto IMANO was chosen as the tournament's top scorer.

I have some time until my flight tomorrow, so I would like to explore French culture and history.
