　The Second Coaching School
　The　Japanese　Football Association held their coaching school activities for a period of one month at　the training centre of Tokyo　University, at　Kemigawa　near Tokyo.　Thirty-eight participants, including some famous national players were present to acquire J. F. A.　coaching　licences.　The first coaching school, run on the same lines, had been held last summer.

　World Cup 1986

　Foreigners Playing in Japan　
　Yanmar Diesel F.C. of Osaka, winner of the Emperor's Cup last season has added a new foreign player to its team. This member, a Brazilian-born　Japanese, George Kobayashi, arrived in Japan in February and has been registered as a league　player for Yarimar for the 1971 season. He is the third foreign player to be registered in the Japanese League. The other two players recruited abroad, are also Brazilians playing for Yanmar and came to Japan in 1967 and in1968. One, Nelson　Yoshimura, the　first foreign　footballer　in Japan, was granted Japanese nationality at the end of last year and is now expected to become a member of　the　Japanese　National　team　for　the Munich Olympics in 1972.
　Another is Doribal Carlos Estebes, who was invited　to Japan as the first coloured footballer　to play for a　Japanese team in 1969. He is a popular figure in the team owing to his rich sense of humour and a style of play which seems unusual to the Japanese.
　George Kobayashi, the 'rookie' in the 1972 season, had previously been a team-mate of Yoshimura in his boyhood, when the pair was playing for a small club in a Japanese colony　in Sao Paulo, Brazil. Yoshimura recommended　Kobayashi, a　tall,　strongfull-back, to the Yanmar manager, as beingan asset to his team.
　The three　players are　employees of theYanmar　Diesel Manufacturing Company wuth Headquarters in Osaka and a plant in Brazil.　Originally they　had been working in Brazil, before being transferred to the Osaka Head Office, and, although it had been announced that　they　had　come to Japan for　business purposes, it　is obvious that their footballing abilities were the main reason for their change of location.
　Undoubtedly, the most popular of them is Yoshimtira, now a teenage idol owing to his good looks and brilliant footwork. Unknown as a footballer in Brazil, his excellent　ball-controll　and　dribbling　amazed apanese fans as soon as he joined the Japanese league at　the age　of　eighteen, four years ago.
　Last September, Nelson played for the All Japan Selection against Eusebio's Benfica of Lismon, visiting Japan at that time. “My childhood dream had come true”, he said.“If l had stayed　in Brazil, it　would have been impossible for me, even to meet and talk with Eusebio”.
