Academy Report

Since the hotel where we are staying is located at a slightly high altitude, it is covered in fog every morning.

After waking up, I took a walk and did some exercises before having breakfast.In the morning, we had a light training session for about an hour starting at 9 AM on the grounds right behind the hotel.After lunch, we held a pre-match meeting and then departed from the hotel. The team members for the match were announced at the venue.Our opponent on the second day of the tournament was Shenzhen Spring U12 from Shenzhen, Guangdong Province.

After that, we continued to press from the front, won the ball, and created chances, but gradually the opponent settled down, started to connect passes, and built up their rhythm.

The first half, which included a water break, ended with us leading 1-0.In the second half, the flow remained unchanged from the first half, and we continued to face difficult situations due to mistakes. However, the players who came in as substitutes pressed from the front, created situations where the opponent made mistakes, and expanded our chances.

Amidst this, in the 20th minute of the second half, Toyoshima calmly converted a penalty he earned himself, successfully extending our lead. Furthermore, in the 32nd minute of the second half, substitute Miura scored a brilliant dribble shot, sealing the victory.

The performance of the substitute players shone, leading us to two consecutive wins.Players who couldn't play in the match also trained and prepared for the days ahead.


We returned to the hotel, had dinner, and held a brief meeting, concluding the activities of the third day.
