I went sightseeing in Lance since this morning!
I visited the Notre-Dame Cathedral located in the city of Reims.
The players were inspired by exploring the architecture of the building and the structures inside the cathedral!
After that, we explored the city of Reims in groups. We also took on the challenge of returning to the hotel by ourselves.
We calculate backwards from the meeting time and take action while communicating with each other. We have started to see changes in the players little by little, and they are beginning to think for themselves and take action, which makes us feel their growth!
In the afternoon, we finally moved to the tournament headquarters, SANS, and held a training match.
The opponent is the local club team GRAND SENONAIS. We played a match under the same regulations as the tournament, consisting of two 20-minute halves as a test match leading up to the main event.
From the start, we will take control. Various breakdowns can be seen in the attacking part that has been built up, and although there are many attempts to shoot, we are unable to convert any decisive chances, resulting in only one goal in the first half.
In the second half, just like the first half, we maintained control and increased our actions towards the goal, resulting in 5 goals.
Various ideas for breaking through have emerged, and the players have developed a good image for the tournament. I am very excited for the tournament starting tomorrow.

After the match, we had dinner at the dining venue provided by the tournament headquarters. Being able to have a balanced meal right after the match is a wonderful environment for the players.
And, a big surprise!!!
Today, we presented a birthday cake to player Hirai Yumestai, who is celebrating his birthday! It was a very happy time, celebrated by the tournament staff and other participating teams, and he was very pleased as well.
I would like to do my best in the tournament starting tomorrow, without forgetting my gratitude to those who welcomed us like this.
