[Japan National Soccer Team]Newly married Ritsu Doan vows to do his best. Senior Nagatomo, who has four children, congratulates him, saying, “You should have contacted me sooner!”

The Japanese national team, aiming to participate in the 2026 World Cup, held a public practice in Chiba City on the 3rd (Mon). When asked by reporters what he was glad about after getting married, Doan Ritsu (25, SC Freiburg/Germany), a member of the Japanese national soccer team, who announced his marriage on the 2nd, smiled and said, “I’d like to enjoy being seen as a married group of players who were left behind (from marriage).” The newlywed Doan contacted his senior, Nagatomo Yuto (37, FC Tokyo), who has four children, on the day of the marriage announcement, but was congratulated by Nagatomo, who said, “You should have contacted me sooner!” “I think I will have more burdens and responsibilities, and I believe that making my dreams come true will make my family happy. I haven’t been able to win the World Cup or the Asian Cup, so I want to make sure I’m making the right adjustments to achieve that,” he commented. With the Japanese flag and his family now on his shoulders, Doan has vowed to do even better. ＜Sports Real Live～SPORTS Real＆Live～＞ Based on the concept of “a program that conveys the ‘real’ hidden in athletes and their matches and allows you to experience the ‘live’ of sports”, we deliver baseball, soccer, Olympic events and more from a unique perspective! ■TV Tokyo series Every Monday to Thursday 11:55pm / Friday 11:58pm / Saturday 10:30pm / Sunday 10:54pm ■BS TV Tokyo Every Saturday 1am / Sunday 1:35am Program website: https://www.tv-tokyo.co.jp/realive/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/TVTOKYO_sports/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/reallive_tvtokyo/ ▼Please subscribe to our channel▼ https://www.youtube.com/tvtokyo_sports #soccer #RitsuDoan #JapanNationalTeam #RealLive #TVTokyo #Sports #SPORTS #TVTokyo #FOOTBALL
