The Japan national football team is currently competing in the FIFA World Cup North and Central America tournament. On the 20th, Kazu Miura participated in an event held at J-GREEN Sakai in Sakai-ku, Osaka, where he practiced soccer with about 50 elementary school students. Miura taught the children how to kick the ball, saying 'take your time' and 'don't rush, kick it when you're ready'. He also played a mini game with them, running into the space and shouting to call for the ball, and even scored a goal himself. At the end, Miura told the children, 'if you want to get better, practice the basics of stopping and kicking the ball every day'. Riku Kinko, a 6th grader, said 'I was happy to play with him, and I learned how to kick the ball'. His father, Hiroki Kinko, was even more excited, saying 'he's the one who inspired me to start playing soccer'. Miura said he enjoyed watching the Japan national team's game against the Netherlands. For the upcoming game against Tunisia, he sent a message of encouragement, saying 'believe in what you've done so far'. When asked about his score prediction, he said 'it's difficult, but the most important thing is to advance to the next league'.
