Japan national soccer team prepares for the first World Cup match; Wataru Endo returns to practice, young players' motivation shines

The North and Central American Soccer World Cup begins with the opening match between Mexico and South Africa on the 11th (4 a.m. on the 12th, Japan time).

On the 10th, the Japanese national team made preparations in Nashville, Tennessee, USA, in preparation for their first match against the Netherlands (5 a.m. on the 15th, Japan time).

Captain Wataru Endo (Liverpool), who was sidelined due to injury, returned to part of training. While there is a lot of talk about the veterans who liven up the team's atmosphere, there is a lot of talk about the young players who are fighting day in and day out to get results in the actual games.

"For the last two weeks, I've been working really hard to get better, rather than adjusting." The words of 21-year-old forward Kento Shiogai (Wolfsburg) were different from those of other players.
