Although there were moments of struggle on the muddy ground, which was slippery due to the rain, Coach Yanagisawa continued to instruct the children for about four hours, calling out each child's name.
During a break in the clinic, there was a moment for a group photo with the Norte Junior Youth players. He cheered on the players, saying, "We'll be waiting for you on the top team!"
The traditional group photo and autograph session after the clinic were also very popular. Coach Yanagisawa happily posed for photos and signed autographs for about an hour, and the children's parents also joined in the photo session.
Also, on the 28th, C.R.O. Nakata participated in the Kashima Clinic. He joined the kindergarten, first-grade, and second-grade classes, chasing the ball with the children.
In the kindergarten class, a child who scored a goal was praised by C.R.O. Nakata and gave a slightly shy smile.
C.R.O. Nakata was as popular as ever at the autograph and photo sessions. There was a long line during the clinic break. C.R.O. Nakata, who responded to autographs and photos, looked each person in the eye and said, "Thank you."
