Day 3 of the Germany Expedition for U-18

Third day of the Germany expedition.

Daylight saving time starts in Germany today, and since the clocks have moved forward by one hour, we begin with a walk in the still dim light.

This day is a training match against Hannover 96 U19.
Currently, Hannover is the 6th place team in the U19 Bundesliga North.

After a 2-hour bus ride, the match began with Tokyo scoring the first goal early on.
Haga quickly passed the free kick obtained near the PA to Terayama, who ran in and slotted it into the goal.

Tokyo, gaining momentum, continued to apply pressure on the opponent with coordinated pressing from the front line, and although Imamura and Yokota seized opportunities, they could not secure an additional goal.

In the second half, after substituting players, they overcame an early crisis. In the 55th minute, Amano passed to Yokota, who broke through behind the DF, evaded one defender, and scored a goal.
After extending the lead to two goals, they continued to press from the front, and the entire defense line maintained their focus and hard work, culminating in a 2-0 victory in the first match of the Germany expedition.

After the match, have a late lunch at Hannover 96's restaurant and stroll around the city of Hannover.

I experienced history through buildings from 500 years ago and churches that survived the world wars, and then returned to the accommodation.
