＊ヨーロッパ遠征のリポートです。木村光佑選手はBarnet戦で良い働きをした事、アーセナルのベンゲル監督に話しかけられた事等。

Local English club Barnet was up first and we racked up a 1-0 win. Danny Gargan scored a great goal off of a driven Nico Colaluca corner kick, and we were in control throughout. The passing was crisp and movement off the ball was outstanding. The final pass or shot, which normally takes time to improve throughout the pre-season, was the only missing piece in a strong performance. Some of our young boys (John DiRaimondo and Kosuke Kimura) put in a good shift, while 2nd year pros Jordan Harvey and Colin Clark were particularly sharp.

British media were all over us during our stay, and our sidelines were pretty busy. However, some spectators were more conspicuous than others. When Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger and his entire staff watched not one, but both, of our friendly matches, it meant a great deal to all of us and provided extra motivation during our daily workouts on the pitch. Mr. Wenger was good enough to speak with several of our players (Bouna Coundoul in French and Kosuke Kimura in Japanese) and take an occasional picture. Both sets of staff maintained their distances during their colleagues' daily work out of mutual respect, but we had the chance to talk after our 2nd match. Mr. Wenger spoke with Fernando and was complimentary of our team and was impressed by the energy and work rate of the entire group.
