Kazuyoshi Miura, the oldest 53-year-old soccer player in the J-League, responded to an interview at a team camp in Wakayama Prefecture, saying, "Responding to expectations for record breaking such as the oldest appearance and the oldest goal I want to make an effort to be able to do it, "he said with enthusiasm for the new season.
53-year-old Miura renewed his contract with J1 Yokohama FC this month and is participating in the team's primary camp that began on the 20th in Kamitonda Town, Wakayama Prefecture.
On the 21st of the second day of the camp, Miura worked on a menu for strengthening physical fitness for about 3 hours in the morning and afternoon two-part practice.
Miura, who will be 54 years old next month, had a 10-day voluntary training in Okinawa before entering the camp, so he showed a sharp movement in the practice of turning the ball.
Miura, who was interviewed online after the practice, said, "I put my thoughts into my daily practice and games so that I can meet the expectations of the oldest participation and the record breaking of the oldest goal for the new season. I want to make good preparations and make an effort to start as many games as possible, "he said with enthusiasm.
