Today, the third day of the Abu Dhabi expedition, we will have practice at Al Jazira Academy.

The facilities here, like yesterday, have multiple natural grass fields installed, and the training environment was excellent!
There is still a little fatigue from the second day of the friendly match, but we practiced diligently from this morning.

During the free time in the afternoon, we conducted individual interviews with each player to clarify the future challenges towards their respective goals.

We use our time outside of practice not only for rest, but also for our own benefit.
We will have training from 5:00 PM in the afternoon and then prepare for the 6:00 PM kickoff match.

Today's opponent is the academy team of Al-Jazeera, which belongs to the AG League that I watched yesterday. They are players of the same generation.

The match is progressing at FC Tokyo's pace from the beginning, but they conceded the first goal from a set piece.
In the midst of struggling to create shooting opportunities, Okazaki scores an equalizer goal from a corner kick!
Return the game to the starting point.

Entering the second half, the game becomes a back and forth battle, but Okazaki scores again and succeeds in a comeback with a score of 2-1.
We wanted to turn the game around and tighten our focus, but we conceded a goal right after. It's 2-2.

The match ended in a draw as we were unable to convert several scoring opportunities that we created.

The substitute members also shouted from the bench, making it a very intense game, so we wanted to win.
I want to thoroughly review today's game and overcome the challenges in tomorrow's practice.

Players clean not only their own bench but also the area around the opponent's bench after the match.

Today is the end of the third day, and I think the players are starting to feel fatigued. But from here, we will raise our gear one more level and continue to improve ourselves.
