Playing football using a gum shield, are you sparring or fighting? It turns out it wasn’t just a style, there was a moment that made him change his habits. Wataru Endo started using gum protectors for the 2020–2021 season while still at VfB Stuttgart. In the rigors of the Bundesliga, head and elbow clashes are common. On the advice of his dentist, Jun Miyagawa, he was asked to protect his teeth and mouth before a fatal incident occurred. Since then, Gum Shield has stuck with him, even when he moved to Liverpool FC, and he continued to duel without hesitation.
