U-18 Germany Expedition Day 2.
Last night's arrival was late, so I woke up slowly at 8:00 in the morning. After breakfast, I took a leisurely walk for about an hour on the hotel grounds (the site of an old castle) while relaxing.
Although it is a bit chilly, the weather is clear and the air is refreshing. The players, who were able to fully soak up the sunlight, seem to have overcome jet lag.

After lunch, we took a bus and moved from the hotel to VVV Venlo's stadium in the neighboring country of the Netherlands, which took about 30 minutes. We borrowed the adjacent training ground for about an hour and sweated through activities such as running, passing the ball, and small games to prepare for tomorrow's match against Bayer Leverkusen.

Captain Takuya WATANABE's comment for tomorrow's match:
"Everyone is very excited because it's our first game in Germany. We want to show our strength!"
