Today, after a long flight yesterday, we have a minute-by-minute schedule.

After finishing breakfast, TR starts at 9:00.
Warm up the body with about 1 hour of practice in preparation for the afternoon practice match.
After that, we returned to the hotel once to prepare for the match, and then we were invited to a courtesy visit by the mayor of TRIFELSRUHE city.
We received welcoming words and a talk about the history of the city.

Afterwards, we headed straight to the restaurant and had lunch before taking a 3-hour bus ride to our opponent for today's match, Greuther Fürth.

The first match of the Germany expedition will be against Greuther Fürth, currently in 7th place in the U19 Bundesliga.

As soon as the match started, Yoshida applied pressure from the front line and after 5 minutes, he stole the ball in the front line and scored a goal in the left corner with a shot.
After that, we continued to move the ball smoothly without focusing on the opponent's goal, and even when the ball was taken away, we maintained a rhythm by quickly switching. However, we conceded a goal due to a mistake in the 15th minute and the score became level.
Furthermore, in the 18th minute, a vertical pass created a 1vs1 situation, but GK Takase quickly came out and made a diving save to prevent the goal.
Tokyo's Yoshida, Sugiyama, and others come close to scoring, but are blocked by the opponent's goalkeeper's excellent defense, and the first half ends in a 1-1 tie.

In the second half, after changing the members, in the 57th minute, Hara headed the ball from Kusumi's cross, but it was blocked by the GK.
Tokyo, who continue to attack, quickly connect a corner kick in the 65th minute. Hitoshi Shina's powerful shot is deflected by the right post, but Sotan Sakaguchi scores a goal in the left corner from the rebound, successfully taking the lead.
After that, despite creating dangerous situations from counters and mistakes, we managed to secure a 2-1 victory with Shinohara, Hasegawa's both CBs, and GK Ohmoto at the core, without conceding a goal.
 

After the match, we were kindly allowed to have a meal at the opponent club's clubhouse restaurant and then began our 3-hour journey back by bus.
 

We were able to start our first match in Germany with a victory, but we want to fix the issues we saw today and aim for further team building and individual improvement.
