Wataru Endo on his injury: “I still remember that the cross came into the box and I just tried to clear it outside of the goal… I think I put my whole weight on my left foot and then it got injured. It was painful, of course! I was thinking [that] I couldn’t play anymore.

[I got up] because Robbo told me, ‘We have to defend this corner so if you can just try to do it and then after we defend the corner you go down again.’ I just tried to stand up but it was so painful… I just wanted to help the team even if I got injured. It was painful.

The doctor asked me if I could stand up and walk off the pitch but I said no and I was crying a little bit… I was not crying because it was painful, it was because our fans were singing my song and that means a lot to me.

I think it felt less painful because of that and I really appreciate it because I haven’t played a lot of games this season, but I always try to help the team even if I just play five minutes or 10 minutes, it doesn’t matter. But in that moment I could feel that our fans were still trying to support me and that meant a lot. [Also] I’ve got a lot of comments on social media after the injury. I really appreciate it. They take care of me. It helped me a lot to keep me motivated”
