The U-18 American expedition (March 17th to March 18th) that started today has safely arrived in Dallas, USA. The total travel time was 19 hours, including transit, but the players immediately participated in pre-tournament training upon arrival.
Despite the time difference and the physical heaviness caused by a long flight, preparations have been made for the tournament starting tomorrow. I want to experience American food, climate, and the size of soccer facilities (FC Dallas has 17 soccer courts in its facility) while aiming for physical and mental growth along with the tournament. Tomorrow is the first match against PUMAS (Mexico). It will be an important game towards advancing to the qualifying league.
