The 54-year-old Japanese football star Chira Miura has played just one minute in the J-League this season, and now he plays for Yokohama FC in the bottom of the list, but even so, Miura still has no plans to retire.
Miura Chira said in an interview on the 4th that if the team can win the two games on the 16th and 23rd, the road ahead will be wider, and he still wants to go all out.
Miura was once the number one striker in Asian football, but now that he is 54 years old, his persistence is often seen as more symbolic than practical. With only one minute left this season, Miura already had a hard time associating the game. Despite this, Miura said that in the remaining seven games of the season, I will do my best to stand on the court more than one game. Miura said that when the team lost, he did not want to stay on the couch at home for a moment, but wanted to stay on the court.
Regarding my own whereabouts, Miura Chira said that I would always stick to it myself, and as long as there was a club that accepted me, I wanted to stand on the pitch all the time. Miura Said That He Still Wants to Score, and now he values not the record of the oldest player or the player who scored the oldest goal, but the goal, as a player who has been sprinting towards the finish line, he still has a goal, so he will work hard every day.
Chira Miura was born in 1967, and in January this year, Yokohama FC officially announced a one-year extension of his contract. Chira Miura was the Asian Footballer of the Year in 1993 and was the first Player of the Year in Japan to receive the Asian Footballer of the Year honour. Chira Miura was a representative player of Japanese football when it began to take off in 1992, and his cooperation with Ramos and Kitazawa Hiroshi once swept Asia. The national football players who were contemporaneous with Miura Chiryo included Fan Zhiyi, who was born in 1969, Ou Chuliang, who was born in 1968, and Gao Hongbo, who was born in 1966.
Yokohama FC has not only Chiryo Miura, 54, but also midfielder Shunsuke Nakamura, 43, both of whom expressed a strong sense of crisis when talking about the current situation of the team. Nakamura said that in a severe period, if you don't struggle, you can get nothing, and everyone is still fighting, which is good. There are a lot of things that can't be done, but it would be nice to be able to push forward a little bit.
