[U-18] Germany Expedition Day 3

3rd day of Germany expedition.

Today, daylight saving time has started in Germany, so the time has moved forward by one hour. We started our walk while it was still dark.

This day is a training match with Hannover 96 U19.
Currently, Hannover is ranked 6th in the U19 Bundesliga North.

The match, which was approached by a 2-hour bus ride, started with Tokyo taking the lead early on.
Haga quickly passes the free kick he got near the PA to Terayama, who runs in and scores a goal.

Tokyo, who is on a roll, continues to put pressure on the opponent with coordinated pressing from the front line, but they are unable to score additional points despite opportunities from Imamura and Yokota.

After replacing players, the second half started and they managed to survive the pinch at the beginning. In the 55th minute, Amano passed to Yokota who broke through the DF and passed one defender to score.
Expanding the lead by 2 points, the team continued to press from the front line and the entire DF line worked hard without losing concentration, and decorated the first game of the Germany expedition with a 2-0 victory.

After the match, we had a late lunch at Hannover 96's restaurant and took a walk around the city of Hannover.

We experienced history such as buildings from 500 years ago and churches that survived world wars, and then returned to our accommodation.
