50-year-old still plays, renews contract, surprises football world

For footballers in general, the peak is reached at 25-30 years of age, while then for them to begin falling and rare is those who have reached the age of 40 to be active again as footballers.

However, for Japanese Kazuyoshi Miura years are just numbers. On February 26th, it will be 51, but age does not matter to it and to the Yokohama FC team in the second category, which has renovated the contract for another season.

Kazuyoshi Miura ironically started his career in Brazil, not in his native country, and since then recorded titles and many goals.

His purchase by Genoa in Serina A became the first case that a club through sponsors immediately manages to earn large sums by buying a player without yet reactivating.

King Kazu, as baptized in Asia, has scored 55 goals with the Japanese national.
