Day 4 of the Sweden expedition.
Today, we have a training match with Varberg Bois U-18 team, which belongs to Varberg club in the Swedish second division, in the city of Varberg, about an hour away by bus from the accommodation.
The match will be played in a modified format of 3 sets (30 minutes - 20 minutes - 20 minutes).
Yesterday, like yesterday, we were able to advance the game advantageously against a physically strong opponent in the upper grade with possession attacks, but we couldn't score easily.
22 minutes, Yasuda sends a corner kick from the left to the center, and Furuya volleys it in to score the opening goal.
After that, there were more scenes where we were pushed back by the opponent's strength in the ball contest, but we persevered and did not allow any goals.
In the second set, Umehara.
In the third set, Takahashi, who joined from U-15 like Yasuda, scored an additional point, resulting in a 3-0 victory.
In the afternoon, the players spent their free time in Varberg's city center, visiting the tourist attraction of Varberg Castle and Fortress, shopping, and watching the 3rd place match of the World Cup at a public viewing in the city.
Tomorrow, we will move to Gothenburg, which will be the venue for the main tournament of the Gothia Cup, and prepare for the actual event.
