They demonstrated their skills
In Asian soil, they usually carry out fun challenges with the most well-known athletes. On one occasion, they already called Lionel Messi and Neymar to contest programs to test their accuracy. Now it has been the turn of three players who will represent Japan in Russia 2018, they faced off against a hundred children in a match.
Yosuke Ideguchi, Hotaru Yamaguchi, and Hiroshi Kiyotake faced a tremendous challenge by facing a hundred children in an exhibition match. The three stars have a good chance of representing their country in Russia 2018, they have been part of the qualifying process and only an injury can remove them from the final list.
Yosuke Ideguchi, Hotaru Yamaguchi and Hiroshi Kiyotake faced off against this hundred schoolchildren who were distributed in all positions (30 defenders, 30 midfielders, 30 forwards, and 10 goalkeepers), in a match that was even broadcast on open television to a large part of the Asian population.
As expected, the desperation to take the ball caused the children to run senselessly on the field, falling for every feint that the players attempted to escape the pressure.
