Breakfast is buffet style, with players, guardians, and the general public participating in the tournament all eating together in the restaurant. Breakfast hours are set, and the restaurant opens at 7:15 AM.
The T-shirt displayed in the hotel lobby is a commemorative tournament T-shirt. Surprisingly, the T-shirt features a photo of Kumazawa, a Kashima JY player who participated in the tournament two years ago. We were able to get it as a souvenir for him. He'll probably be surprised.
Additionally, the tournament headquarters was selling photos taken during the tournament to guardians.
In the morning, the players headed to the hotel's match venue to watch the quarter-final matches, watching AC Milan vs. AS Roma in the first match and Cagliari vs. Juventus in the second match.
AC Milan overwhelmingly defeated AS Roma 4-0. The individual skill level was high, and their team tactics were also at an advanced level. In contrast, AS Roma's defensive midfielder showed high technical skills and a strong understanding of tactics.
Cagliari, who lost yesterday, played against Juventus. This match ended in a 0-0 draw, leading to a penalty shootout where Juventus won 2-4. Cagliari's thorough tactics and hard work, along with Juventus's high individual techniques, were very informative.
In the meeting held afterward, the players shared their impressions from yesterday's match against Cagliari and the matches they watched.
After returning from watching the matches, we had lunch at 1:00 PM.
In the afternoon, since we couldn't arrange a friendly match, we used the hotel's pool for recovery and stretching to relax our bodies. They seemed to relax a bit, but being in the water for about 20 minutes was apparently cold.
We held a general meeting at 3:30 PM.
We provided some free time until dinner, instructing everyone to use their time responsibly.
Dinner was at 7:30 PM, and lights out was at 10:30 PM.
