First Match
0-5● Willem Ⅱ (Netherlands)
The weather changed suddenly, and the match was played in heavy rain.
We conceded an early goal from a free kick. Our defensive issues, which were a challenge, did not improve, and we were unable to gain momentum throughout the match.

Second Match
● 0-4 Arsenal
The match was played in even heavier rain. In the first half, we conceded a goal after losing possession from our own throw-in.
We created several chances but couldn't convert them, and the players started showing signs of fatigue. It was another disappointing loss.

Third Match
● 0-0 (2 PK 4) Manchester City
This was our second encounter with Manchester City, following yesterday's match. We went into the final match with determination, aiming for our first win and revenge for yesterday.
Neither team could convert their decisive chances, leading to a penalty shootout. It was a very frustrating loss, especially since we had a chance to win.
On the second day, all players participated in all six matches, and the team fought together as one.

Manager Hashino told the children, "It's difficult to only try your best in this tournament. To make use of this experience, your future efforts and mindset are crucial."
