Some players are starting to feel a little tired, but overall they greeted the morning with a good expression.
Each person relaxed in the morning in preparation for the evening game.
During lunch, the players received words of encouragement from Mr. Hu, who is accompanying us on this expedition, saying, "The performance of the Japanese team is fantastic. We will definitely win today. Do your best."
And the opponent for the third group stage match was Wolfsburg.
Overwhelmed by Wolfsburg's high technique and speed, they conceded three goals in the first half.
Despite that, the players fought without giving up and scored a goal in the 35th minute of the second half through Kazuyoshi Miyata, reducing the deficit to one point.
However, they conceded another goal and lost 1-4.
As a result, we finished third in the group stage and will enter the lower tournament.
Players who faced high-level opponents head-on and experienced the world level firsthand.
With this experience in mind, we will face Shandong Luneng, who finished fourth in Group B, tomorrow.
