Our morning training session was unexpectedly changed to a visit with the Mayor of Olbia. The first qualifying league match against Ferrini Cagliari is at 7:00 PM.
Despite the travel, the players looked energetic and enjoyed breakfast. After breakfast, we visited the San Teodoro City Hall in Olbia, which hosts this tournament. There, Mayor Alberto said, "I want this to be a tournament you'll remember for the rest of your lives," and Massimo, the president of the sports association, shed tears as he welcomed us, saying, "It was my dream to invite an Asian team to Sardinia. Thank you for coming such a long way."
