In this video, we dive deep into the emotional and tactical brilliance behind Hajime Moriyasu’s decision to include Yuto Nagatomo in Japan’s 2026 World Cup squad. As he steps onto the global stage for a record-breaking fifth consecutive time, we explore why this “last-minute” veteran presence is exactly what the Samurai Blue needs to push past the Round of 16.
We analyze his incredible career path—from his early days at FC Tokyo to becoming Asia’s elite wing-back at Inter Milan and his heroic defensive displays against footballing giants like Spain (where he famously held his own in the heat of the 2022 World Cup). We discuss how his leadership, fighting spirit, and tactical experience provide the stability this young, talented Japanese roster craves. Is this the tournament where Japan finally goes all the way?
