The team departed Kashima early in the morning on Monday, February 19th, for the match against Suwon Samsung, and arrived in Suwon in the afternoon. From the airport, they went directly to the sub-ground next to Suwon World Cup Stadium. After changing in the stadium, they proceeded with practice.
Training included ball passing, game-form drills, and shooting practice from crosses. Although there was some snow remaining around the stadium, the team was able to train without feeling too cold during practice.
