Germany Day 2
After one night since yesterday's travel day, today is training.
Many players woke up in the early morning due to jet lag, but I woke up at 7am and took a walk along the river next to the hotel.
It was a peaceful morning where I encountered a squirrel and felt the cleanliness of the air.
At the 9 o'clock training, we gradually acclimated our bodies and finished with an 8 vs 8 game on half court.
Led by Captain Terayama's full effort play, the other players also engaged in an intense battle, conscious of their usual ball control and switching, in preparation for tomorrow's training game.
Afterwards, we took a bus to watch the 14:00 kickoff match between Bundesliga DIV3 SC Preußen and Unterhaching.
It was a game where I could feel the basics, with supporters in the stands who cheered for good plays and sighed for mistakes, as well as the intensity of the ball and the hardworking players in a stadium that can hold up to 6,000 people, even though it was DIV3.
A perfect place to train not only soccer but also physical and mental aspects with a 5-game training game starting tomorrow.
I want to pursue soccer without giving up until the end.
