[U-18] Germany Expedition Report Day 1

U-18 starts their Germany expedition today (from March 22nd to March 31st). In preparation for the "Emperor's Cup U-18 Soccer League 2015 Premier League EAST" opening on April 12th, which marks their return after 4 years, the team will not only focus on strengthening themselves but also aim to improve individually by experiencing world-class soccer firsthand.
During this training camp, we have scheduled matches against top teams in the Bundesliga Youth such as Bayer Leverkusen, Borussia Dortmund, and Schalke 04. We want to fight fair and square like FC Tokyo U-18 without any hesitation.
Today is the day of travel to Germany. We will board the flight to Paris departing from Narita Airport at 12:00, and after a transit, we will arrive at Dusseldorf Airport after approximately 16 hours of flight.

Furthermore, we arrived at the accommodation in the suburbs of North Rhine-Westphalia by bus before 22:00 local time. It was a journey of approximately 18 hours.
The players, who couldn't hide the signs of fatigue, were satisfied with the beautiful accommodations and delicious meals.

I want to spend tomorrow morning taking a walk or doing something to alleviate jet lag and recover from the long journey. In the afternoon, I want to focus on preparing for the first match of the upcoming expedition against Bayer Leverkusen, which will take place the day after tomorrow.
