Today, training starts at 9:30 AM at the Shandong Luneng Academy facility.
With 31 fields, it is quite a challenge to reach the practice area.
During this expedition, we are only at the Shandong Luneng Academy facilities, but even on the 8th day, there are still many places we do not know.

The training was light due to the fatigue from consecutive matches, and it ended with a light sweat.
To develop an awareness of the goal that feels the difference from the world, we practiced shooting a lot.
After practice, some players play with the kick target nearby before heading home as lunchtime approaches.

Had solid training and maintained a good balance.

In the afternoon, we went on our first outing for the expedition and went to a shopping mall 30 minutes away by bus.
As soon as they arrive, the players are asked for autographs.

In shopping, some players bought various items, some players bought nothing, and some players enjoyed sightseeing, such as eating Osaka ramen in China.

During dinner, a cake surprise for Asahi HAGA, whose birthday is on July 30, and coach Masaki KOIZUMI, whose birthday is on July 28.
Everyone enjoyed it deliciously.

Tomorrow is finally the final match of this tournament.
Can we end with a victory as a culmination of the challenges faced, the confidence gained, and the experiences felt during the expedition?
We will fight tough with all our strength tomorrow as well.
