U-15 Musashi's 2nd year students are conducting a France expedition from April 3 (Mon) to April 12 (Wed).
Due to the impact of the novel coronavirus infection, overseas expeditions that could not be carried out will resume after a long time, and the players' expressions are also varied.
<April 3rd (Monday)>
Departing from Haneda Airport at 16:35, it takes about 5 hours to reach Hanoi, Vietnam.
Arrived at Charles de Gaulle Airport in Paris, France at 7:00 on April 4 (Tue) local time, after an additional 12 hours from there.
Apr 4 (Tue)
Met up with Mr. Oguri, who will be attending this trip in Paris. Received words of encouragement.
Sightseeing in Paris in the morning.
Took commemorative photos at the Louvre Museum, Eiffel Tower, Arc de Triomphe, etc. I was completely captivated by the buildings I saw for the first time.
Afterwards, also participated in the Paris Saint-Germain FC (PSG) home stadium tour.
Famous players seen at the World Cup are actually sitting on the bench and on the pitch, and the players are very excited.
Afternoon at PSG's training ground.
We had a 15-minute training match with PSG U-14's B team.
There were also long travels, and the players' movements seemed a bit heavy, but the game continued with a constant sense of tension, with speed, power, and small mistakes leading to conceding points.
I was able to have a very valuable experience from the first day of arrival.
We will continue to prepare for the TSF International Tournament starting on Friday (7th) through training matches from tomorrow onwards.
