SATO Sota (Nissho Gakuen Junior High School)
I worked on the last day’s s training today and tried to implementing what I learned in the training. I did my best to take up the things needed to improve including “look up and see the opponent player”, “decide what I should do next”. I am aware of my shortcomings of the quality of pass, a lack of voice in defending, I am determined to improve these points and make progress.
FUJIMOTO Kanya (Tokyo Verdy Junior Youth)
I learned many things in this Azerbaijan Trip, including training and game in this trip, the way to prepare on the pitch and off the pitch, the manner in the hotel and taking a meal. Bringing back the experience I had, I am going to make them my habit.
YAMAHARA Reon (JFA Academy Fukushima U-15)
Following the training in the morning, I watched the Caspian Cup 2014 final game “Iran vs Turkey”. Both teams were high-spirited and playing overwhelming game. I had an impression that they were much focused on the ball and fighting harder on the ball as compared with us. As I watched the documentary TV program and today’s game, I realized it is the heart or my attitude that really counts in the game. I am going to work on training when I go back to the team with my determination of “absolutely win the match”.
