Thank you for watching! It’s “Sakaneta!!” ⚽️ ​The 26 members of Japan’s national team for the North and Central America World Cup were announced, and the game got off to a rocky start with coach Moriyasu crying at a press conference. While the absolute aces, Kaoru Mitoma and Takumi Minamino, were unfortunately not selected due to injuries, the coach decided to select the captain, Wataru Endo, who is undergoing rehabilitation, and Yuto Nagatomo, who is a mental pillar. Furthermore, Ko Itakura and Takehiro Tomiyasu, who are the absolute key players in defense, have returned safely, completing a lineup that can overcome adversity. The selected members are as follows.[GK]Yuki Hayakawa (Kashima) Keisuke Osako (Hiroshima) Ayane Suzuki (Parma)[DF]Yuto Nagatomo (FC Tokyo) Shogo Taniguchi (Sint-Truiden) Akira Itakura (Ajax) Tsuyoshi Watanabe (Feyenoord) Takehiro Tomiyasu (Ajax) Hiroki Ito (Bayern Munich) Ayumu Seko (Le Havre) Yuse Sugawara (Bremen) Junnosuke Suzuki (Copenhagen)[MF/FW]Wataru Endo (Liverpool) Junya Ito (Genk) Daichi Kamata (Crystal Palace) Koki Ogawa (NEC Nijmegen) Daenen Maeda (Celtic) Ritsu Doan (Frankfurt) Kiyo Ueda (Feyenoord) Ao Tanaka (Leeds) Kaishu Sano (Mainz) Keito Nakamura (Stad Reims) Takefusa Kubo (Real Sociedad) Yuito Suzuki (Freiburg) Kento Shiogai (Wolfsburg) Keisuke Goto (Sint-Truiden) How they overcome the biggest crisis of losing their main players with the leadership of experienced veterans and a firm adherence to world standards will determine their long-awaited goal of moving beyond the top eight and winning the championship. The departure of Mitoma and Minamino is too painful, but with the leadership of Endo and Nagatomo and the ironclad presence of Itakura and Tomiyasu, do you think you can compete evenly with strong teams such as the Netherlands? Please let us know in the comments section what you think is the ideal starting lineup for this tournament! #Japan National Team #Wataru Endo #Yuto Nagatomo #World Cup #Sakaneta!! *This channel reports news and provides criticism within the scope of quotations.
