‘Look how far away Japan is’, he sang ‘Don’t step on me, I’m wearing flip flops.’ Gamba Osaka has announced a friendly against Real Sociedad next Thursday, July 25 (7:00 pm in Japan) at the Panasonic Suita Stadium in Suita, Osaka. They are framing it within the ‘Real Sociedad Japan Tour 2024’, which made its first milestone in the postseason friendly on May 29 against Tokyo Verdy. Gamba Osaka has been selling tickets for a month for this new ‘bolo’ which divides the realistic preseason in two and which, so far, has not been confirmed by the txuri urdin entity.
In fact, it is surprising that Gamba Osaka announced this friendly against a Real team that five days before the confrontation with Alavés in its preseason premiere and two days later, on the 27th at 5 pm, will receive Toulouse in Zubieta. These two ‘bowls’ were announced by Real, but not the one from Japan, which is what they don’t like at all. Imanol because it includes two full days of travel where you can’t train, a grass that certainly raises at least the unknown and an accumulated fatigue to avoid three weeks before the start of LaLiga. There is almost no material time to play on the 25th in Japan, travel back 10,300 kilometers by plane and play on the 27th against Toulouse.
