- Day 1 and 2 -
Departed from Narita Airport and headed to Amsterdam (Netherlands) via Helsinki (Finland) on a night flight.
It was a 13-hour flight from Narita Airport to Helsinki Airport. After a 3-hour transit in Helsinki, we arrived at Amsterdam Airport in 2 hours. From the airport, we took a 1-hour bus ride to Rotterdam. It was a total of 19 hours of travel, but the players showed no signs of fatigue and had a light expression.
After arriving at the hotel, we will greet Mr. Tsuchiya and GIA-san, who will take care of us from now on, and then head to the ground after finishing our meal.
Today's training venue was held at none other than the home stadium of SBV Excelsior, a team belonging to the Eredivisie (Netherlands 1st division league).
After a light jog, we did a 4v1 and 4v2 ball possession drill. Finally, we played a game to prepare our condition.
Training matches will continue from tomorrow. We will make it a trip where we can grow significantly as a team and as individuals.
