[Special feature on the Kirin Cup]Yuto Nagatomo looks back on the Kirin Cup 2008 debut match for the Japanese national team

Kirin Cup Soccer 2016 will be held for the first time in five years. We asked the players who were selected as members of the Japan national team to look back on their memories of the Kirin Cup. The first is Yuto Nagatomo. We asked Nagatomo, who made his Japan national team debut against the Kirin Cup Soccer 2008 vs Ivory Coast national team, about his feelings at the time. The KIRIN CUP SOCCER 2016 (6/3@Aichi, 6/7@Osaka) will feature the SAMURAI BLUE (Japan National Team), Bosnia and Herzegovina National Team, Bulgaria National Team, and Denmark National Team. http://www.jfa.jp/samuraiblue/kirincupsoccer_2016/ The “KIRIN CUP MUSEUM”, which traces the 38-year trajectory of the battle between the Japanese national team and the world, is now open to the public! http://kirincup-museum.jfa.jp/
