U-18 starts their Germany expedition today (March 22nd to March 31st). In preparation for the "Emperor's Cup U-18 Football League 2015 Premier League EAST" starting on April 12th, which marks their return after 4 years, the team will not only focus on strengthening themselves, but also aim to improve their individual skills by experiencing top-level football in the world.
During this training period, we are scheduled to play against top teams in the Bundesliga Youth, such as Bayer Leverkusen, Borussia Dortmund, and Schalke 04. We want to fight with pride as FC Tokyo U-18 without any hesitation.
Today is the day of travel to Germany. We will depart from Narita Airport at 12:00 to Paris, and after a transit, we will arrive at Dusseldorf Airport after a flight of about 16 hours.

Arrived at the accommodation in the suburbs of North Rhine-Westphalia by bus at around 22:00 local time. It was a long journey of about 18 hours.
The players were unable to hide their fatigue, but they seemed satisfied with the beautiful accommodations and delicious meals.

I want to focus on recovering from jet lag and fatigue from the long trip by taking a walk in the morning, and then prepare for the first match of the upcoming away expedition against Bayer Leverkusen the day after tomorrow in the afternoon.
