Vissel Kobe are set to wrap up a weather-interrupted preseason tour to southern California on Tuesday, which the J. League club hopes will jump-start its campaign for a title.
The star-studded club embarked on the tour on Jan. 24 and will return home after its final two scheduled matches were called off due to major storms.
Vissel are aiming for the top of the table after finishing last season in 10th despite adding Spanish icon Andres Iniesta to a roster already including former Germany star Lukas Podolski.
