China Expedition (7/19)

I woke up a little after 6:00 AM for the 9:00 AM match and started the day with a walk and some exercises.

After breakfast, we held a meeting and then departed from the hotel.

Our opponent for the 4th match of the tournament was the Guangzhou Evergrande School selection team from the facility where we are staying.

In the 7th minute of the first half, Toyoshima capitalized on a spilled cross from the right by the goalkeeper, scoring the opening goal.

Furthermore, in the 15th minute of the first half, Sato scored an additional goal with a superb header from a right corner kick.

In the 17th minute of the first half, Niibori extended our lead further with a direct free kick from a tight angle.

Perhaps due to a slight relaxation after a three-goal lead, we conceded a goal from a counter-attack due to neglecting risk management in our positioning, ending the first half.

At halftime, we discussed the severity of a two-point difference in a game, risk management, and confirmed our defensive and offensive strategies for the second half.

We continued to dominate in the second half, and in the 12th minute, Kiuchi picked up a loose ball from a free kick and scored with a left-footed shot, securing the game.

Player substitutions were also effective, and in the 20th minute of the second half, Ito, who had been subbed in, scored with a header from Tonooka's left cross. Furthermore, in the 27th minute of the second half, Ito scored his second goal of the day with a splendid header from a corner kick.

Ultimately, we won the match 6-1.

We returned to the hotel and had lunch at 12:30 PM, followed by free time. Some players did homework, some wrote in their travel logs, and others kept soccer notebooks, each doing different things.

In the evening, despite the heat, everyone trained together. Players who had less playing time finished their practice with a possession game.
