Ko Itakura, the young DF leader of the Japan national soccer team, who had been active in the international match the other day, held an event for elementary school students. Its name is “Ko creation project”. It is a project that was launched in December last year with the meaning of creating the future together. This event was the first of its kind. We interacted with 100 elementary school students in Yokohama City who were selected by lottery through soccer. A large number of spectators gathered at the venue, and itakura’s popularity was clearly shown, such as “Itakura player!” The biggest event of this time is the confrontation of “100 elementary school students vs Team Itakura”. Team Itakura was staffed by event staff and played a 10-minute half game against 100 elementary school students. Itakura scored the first goal in the early stages, but the elementary school students soon came back to tie the score at 1-1. After that, when Itakura got the ball, many elementary school students came to retrieve the ball at once, and Itakura was hesitant in front of the hard pressing of the elementary school students… “(The pressure of the press) is not comparable to the Spain match. There are people there, too.” It was at that point that the game began to stalemate, with many attempts to take shots, but they were bounced off each time. Shoot as it is when the elementary school team holds the ball! Itakura was sucked into the goal and collapsed onto the pitch. After the event, there was a section in which itakura sent signed balls and Nishikawa chair mattresses to elementary school students who played an active role. Itakura responded to the call and held an autograph session, which was not originally planned. It was a moment when I could catch a glimpse of Itakura’s personality. *There is no narration in this video. note that.
