On this day, there will be a night game, and in the morning, there will be active rest.
After breakfast, everyone went to the local supermarket together and did some shopping, buying souvenirs each.
We have been building up our motivation towards the game from there.
Today's opponent is the local team Paderborn, which serves as their base. It will be a match against the team currently ranked 10th in the U-19 Bundesliga West.
From the start of the match, Terayama shows an aggressive attitude, taking the initiative to make a shot.
Yokota and Kane pull the ball out between the opponents, Haga and Kubo, the forwards, create a rhythm of attack by taking the space behind the side backs, but they fail to score a goal due to lack of awareness for shooting, and the first half ends without scoring.
At halftime, the players actively communicate with each other to boost morale for the second half.
In the second half, at the 48th minute, when the players were replaced, Imamura aimed directly at the FK from the center of the goal from 25m, and it beautifully crossed over the high wall and scored.
When we score the first goal in a good time zone, we will push the opponent's territory by pressing from the front line and quickly switching.
The additional point came at the 55th minute, when the pass from Tanida to Terayama found Imamura running into space.
Koremura calmly slots it into the bottom left corner for the second goal.
In the 67th minute, Tanida and Kubo created a scoring opportunity with two excellent vertical passes from Amano at the back, and Kubo slotted it into the bottom left corner to make it 3-0.
They continued to move the ball at a good pace and created chances from passes from the final line, while advancing time and ending the game.
Germany expedition second match also won.
I experienced playing against foreign players who were physically larger than the opponents from yesterday and had a longer reach, and they were able to steal balls that are not usually touched in Japan.
I want to carefully organize what I was able to do today and what I was not able to do, and build on this to face tomorrow's match.
