Kazuyoshi Miura (58) will continue his professional career this year.

Atletico Suzuka, a fourth-division Japanese Football League (JFL), announced on the 11th that they have agreed to extend Miura's loan period with Yokohama FC. Miura said through the club, "I want to make good use of my experiences so far and use the power of the fans to heighten the region."Thank you for the opportunity. I'll do my best to leave a result on the pitch."

The response from Japanese local fans is cold. When the news of Miura's renewal was reported to Japan's Yahoo News, 'Age doesn't matter if you have skills. However, comments such as "'Taeji Sun' and 'Excuse me as a professional player' continued to say that Kazu (named Miura) does not have that skill.




Whenever Miura stands on the pitch, the record for the oldest participation in Japanese soccer is being renewed. However, most of the appearances were substitutes at the close of the second half's extra time. As a result, there is a controversy over the record of the oldest player. Despite this, Miura is burning his will to live in the active life.

As fans see it, Miura is actually difficult to show competitiveness on the professional stage in terms of skills. It is true that it is difficult to compete with the 'son's team in all aspects, including skill and physical strength. From the team's point of view, the existence of such a player who occupies a place in the squad is never helpful in terms of power.

Despite this, why did Suzuka extend his lease with Miura.




The focus is on 'Silly'. After renting Miura from Yokohama FC in 2022, Suzuka enjoyed a huge crowd mobilization effect. Most of the JFL clubs set the record for the largest number of spectators in their home games against Suzuka. However, the number of Suzuka and JFL spectators was halved when Miura was loaned to Oliveiraense in Portugal's second division in 2023. It can be seen that the contract to extend the lease with Miura, who returned in June last year, is based on the calculation to enjoy the box office effect again.

Miura's last official goal was a penalty kick score in the final league match in 2022 when he played for Suzuka. There has been no scoring in two years.
