[U-18] Germany Expedition Day 6

Today is also sunny in Germany.
After breakfast, we spent a brief time and then visited the Ruprecht Karl University of Heidelberg, founded in 1386 and the oldest university in Germany.
There are as many as 56 Nobel Prize winners from this university.
I had lunch at the cafeteria on campus and listened to a presentation about the university and a discussion about sports management.


The opponent for the last match of the Germany expedition will be FSV Offenbach from the U19 BUNDESLIGA2 division.
I felt the culture of enjoying soccer for people of all ages and genders, as I was watched by a large number of spectators, enjoyed kicking the ball on the same pitch as the players warming up before the match, and watched the performance of the opposing club.

When the game kicks off, the opponent will move the ball at a low position and aim for the back of the Tokyo defense with long balls.
As a result, it is difficult to put pressure on the ball and grasp the rhythm.
Tokyo has several chances to score with a jump to the back of Hara, but cannot score.
◈At the 21st minute, the DF line was breached and we conceded the first goal.
After that, they started to move the ball carefully using the opponent's gap, and in the 39th minute, the ball was received between the DF lines and the final build-up was made by the DF, with Hara swinging his right foot and scoring a goal.
Proceed to the second half as it is.
 

After changing the members, in the second half, we moved the ball quickly and inserted effective vertical passes to push the opponent into a corner.
◈At the 60th minute, Kobayashi received a pass from Yoshida and successfully scored a left-footed shot to make a comeback.
However, at the 65th minute, we were caught up to the same score from a corner kick near the goal.
Immediately after, Yokoyama, who had escaped behind the defense from Sakaguchi's long ball, scored again to take the lead.
In the 77th minute, Okanote calmly scored a goal from a diagonal run after receiving a pass from Yoshida, making it 4-2.
Tokyo, who continued to actively attack, showed a fighting spirit until the end, but the score remained unchanged and the game ended 4-2.
Won the last match of the Germany expedition.


This Germany expedition ended with 3 wins and 2 losses.
Players who were able to have many new experiences and sensations.
I hope you will fight with a high awareness without forgetting this, so that you can make use of it in the Premier League, which will start next weekend.
