The 5th day of the France expedition has started.

This morning, we ate a proper breakfast, cleaned up and tidied by ourselves,
and then moved to the match venue.

On the second day of the tournament, the final preliminary matches and placement matches will be held.

The final preliminary match was against MONACO. Both teams entered the game without a win the previous day, and each desperately aimed for victory. FC Tokyo scored the opening goal and gained momentum, but conceded consecutive goals near the end of the match, resulting in a come-from-behind loss.

After that, we played three placement matches. We lost the first match, but won the second match, achieving our long-awaited first victory in this tournament.
In the last match, we exchanged goals but ended up losing.

After all the matches were completed, overall it was a disappointing result, but as the games progressed, the children gradually got used to the environment here, and I believe each of them felt something through playing with overseas players.

After finishing our own match, we interacted with various teams and visitors, and watched other matches. Many people asked for photos and autographs, and they were very happy that we came from Tokyo.
Also, following last year, we received the International Award.

After all the matches were over, we had dinner at the venue, competed in the preliminary rounds, and visited the home where the Liverpool players, who won the tournament, were staying, allowing us to interact with them.
Liverpool players also called out "TOKYO," and although there was a language barrier for the children, they were able to communicate beyond that barrier, creating a great excitement.

After that, they returned to the lodging, and the children quickly fell into a deep sleep.

Time flies, and tomorrow will be the travel day for returning home.
I will enjoy the remaining time in France to the fullest.
