Today, training will start at 9:30 AM at Shandong Luneng's academy facility.
It's quite a challenge just to get to the practice field, as there are 31 fields in total.
During this expedition, we are only staying at the Shandong Luneng Academy facility, but even on the 8th day, there are still many places that we do not know about.
Training ended with a light sweat due to fatigue from consecutive games.
To maintain awareness of the difference between the world and the goal, we practiced shooting a lot.
Some players play with kick targets and other things next to them while lunch time approaches after practice.
I had a solid training and maintained a good balance.
In the afternoon, we went out for the first time on our expedition and took a 30-minute bus ride to a shopping mall.
As soon as they arrive, the players are asked for autographs.
In shopping, there were players who bought various things, players who didn't buy anything, and players who came to China and enjoyed sightseeing, such as eating Osaka ramen.
A surprise cake was given to Asahi HAGA, whose birthday is on July 30th, and Masaki KOIZUMI, the coach whose birthday is on July 28th, during dinner time.
We all enjoyed it deliciously.
The final match of the tournament is finally tomorrow.
Can we end with a victory as a culmination of the challenges faced, the confidence gained, and the feelings experienced during the expedition?
We will fight tough again tomorrow with all our might.
