The Japanese national soccer team, which will be playing in the World Cup North and Central America tournament starting on the 11th of next month, began a training camp in Chiba City on the 25th. On the first day, there were 12 players from the European group, including midfielder Ritsu Doan (Frankfurt) and forward Kiyo Ueda (Feyenoord), who had already completed their entire schedule with their clubs, and the domestic group, including defender Yuto Nagatomo (FC Tokyo), as well as defender Maya Yoshida (Los Angeles Galaxy), who was called up for one additional match on the 31st against Iceland (MUFG National). Yoshida, who returned to the national team for the first time in three and a half years since the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, worked through the menu for about an hour while sweating profusely. There are also scenes where he runs at the front with Nagatomo when running. The 37-year-old former captain said, “I’m not here as a guest. I want to convey as much of what I have to the team as possible so that I can increase the team’s chances of winning the World Cup by even one millimeter or 1%.” Sponichi Annex delivering the latest news https://www.sponichi.co.jp/ Sponichi Photo and Video Department’s X (old Twitter) https://x.com/Sponichi_Photo Sponichi Photo and Video Department’s Instagram https://www.instagram.com/sponichiphoto_official?igsh=MWVyZmZzcGpvNmsycA== Sponichi’s X (former Twitter) https://twitter.com/sponichiannex
