[U-18] Abu Dhabi Expedition Day 4

Training will be conducted from 10:00 on the 4th day of the Abu Dhabi expedition.
The practice venue is Baniyas Academy.



The practice field adjacent to the stadium is a wonderful environment with 7 natural grass fields, but on the other side of the road, there was a desert stretching for several kilometers.

Today, we conducted a focused practice in the refreshing weather and also worked on a running menu at the end.

Practice will be conducted before the practice match starting at 17:30!
The opponents for this day are the players from Banias Academy who usually practice at this venue.




The opponent had a good start from the beginning, and it became a very impressive development in terms of switching, ball control, and dominance in the contest.
Tokyo, Mitsuru OYA, who started on this day, cuts in from the right side to the center and scores the opening goal.
Next, Anri Takahashi scores with a precise shot to add another point.
Afterwards, we conceded one point through a penalty kick, and the first half ended here.

The second half will start after a short delay as it coincided with the time for worship and prayer during halftime.
It was a scene unique to the UAE.

As the second half began, the opponent's momentum increased, but our defense did not allow any scoring opportunities.
Afterwards, Sakurai and Kawaguchi scored goals by stealing the ball from the opponent's good defense, resulting in a 4-1 victory.
We conceded one goal from this mistake, but in the end, Tanimura pushed in a loose ball and we finished the game with a score of 5-2.


We won, but our physicality and precision in play dropped towards the end, so we want to overcome that challenge in the remaining 2 days!
