[U-18] Germany Expedition Day 4

On this day, there is a night game, and in the morning there is an active rest.
After breakfast, everyone went to the local supermarket together and bought souvenirs.
We then worked to raise our spirits for the game.

Today's opponent is the local Paderborn, which is based in the area. It will be a match against the team currently ranked 10th in the U-19 Bundesliga West.

Shortly after the start of the match, Terayama shows an aggressive attitude by taking the ball and shooting.
Yokota and Kin draw out the ball between the opponents, creating a rhythm of attack with FW Yoshihaga and Kubo taking the back of the side back, but they are unable to score a goal due to lack of awareness for shooting and the first half ends.

During halftime, players actively communicate with each other to boost morale for the second half.

In the second half, at the 48th minute, when the players were replaced, Imamura aimed directly at the FK from the center of the goal from 25m, and it beautifully crossed over the high wall and scored.

If you score the first goal in a good time zone, it will be a development that pushes the opponent's territory with pressing from the front line and quick switching.
The additional point came at 55 minutes, when a pass from Tanihata to Terayama found Imamura running into space.
Koremu calmly slides this into the lower left corner for the second goal.
In the 67th minute, Tanigita and Kubo created a scoring opportunity with two beautiful vertical passes from Amano at the back, and Kubo finished it off by sliding it into the left corner, making it 3-0.
After that, they continued to move the ball at a good pace and created chances from passes from the final line, eventually leading to the end of the game.
Won the second victory in the German expedition.

I experienced playing against foreign players, who were physically larger than yesterday's opponents and were able to steal balls that would not have been touched in Japan due to their longer reach.
I want to organize what I was able to do today and what I couldn't do, and build on this to face tomorrow's game.
