Endo Wataru talks with Kato Koji, “Which player on the national team has the strongest personality?” Kato bursts into laughter when he hears “Something like Kubo.” “He’s a smart player who can make his own opinions.” “I really like him.”

On the 20th, Japan national soccer team captain Wataru Endo attended the “dunhill SPECIAL TALK SESSION WITH WATARU ENDO” event held by Dunhill, the official supplier of the Japan national team’s suits, and participated in a talk event with Koji Kato. When Kato, who has served as a newscaster on soccer programs, asked about players with strong personalities on the national team, with the caveat “If you can’t say it, that’s fine,” Endo replied “Kubo and others,” causing Kato to burst out in laughter. Having spent his elementary school years in Spain (later returning to Japan in 2015 and going back to Spain as a professional player), Endo said that Kubo was raised in an environment where it was natural for him to express his opinions firmly, and highly praised him, saying that he was “a smart player who can make his point” and that he “really likes him.” *This video is based on official materials provided by the organizers. #Growing up in Spain #Captain’s Perspective #Daily Sports Video★Please subscribe to our channel→https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCSEuSqSFFghMCYGUXtQd0Sw
