"Coming to Johor Bahru and being able to play against teams like Brazil, Thailand, and Australia, which we rarely get to face in Japan, has been a valuable experience. Even though this was a friendly match, it was a meaningful game playing against a team different from those in Japan. We also managed to score many goals for the first time in a while. With this, all members of the expedition have now had a chance to play in a match."
After the match, we took a photo with the residents of Johor Bahru who came to support us again today.
