The school children were initially a bit nervous, surprised by the large physique, but when player Goto joined their circle and interacted with them, the children gradually started asking more questions, and he sincerely and carefully answered each one!

Especially when the topic turned to favorite foods and ramen, we excitedly debated, "I prefer soy sauce!" "No, it's miso!"

When giving an example or advice on kicking, the serious look on their face as they listened attentively was impressive.
 
Finally, we told the children, "Enjoy soccer and make friends!" and gave each of them a signature and a Guts Gear Amino Vital Drink Jelly provided by AJINOMOTO CO., INC.♪

Wataru GOTO also said, 'The children were really adorable! I was surprised at how good the Kindergarten and 1st and 2nd grade kids were!' He was energized by the school students!

In response to the question from a school student, 'What do you do to run faster?', Kosuke SHIRAI himself took action to give advice, and he also carefully and thoroughly taught how to defend, such as how to take the ball from the opponent!

There were children who listened to the advice with sparkling eyes and some who immediately stood up and started practicing!
 

Among the school students, there was a child who was a big fan of player Shirai, and there was even a moment when player Shirai asked back, "How do you know so much?"

Kosuke SHIRAI also gave his autograph and Guts Gear, and finally told the children, "Time is limited, so I want you to enjoy the present to the fullest and work hard at soccer!"

It was a valuable time to interact with the top team players♪
