Kenyo Kubo: It s safe to enter the World Cup with an overwhelming advantage. Yuuto Nagato played in the World Cup for 4. It s amazing

Recently, Japanese international Kenyo Kubo was interviewed by a Japanese radio program.

Regarding the 8th consecutive World Cup qualification for the Japanese team, Kubo Kenei said: "Although it is a bit boastful to say that, we successfully broke through with an overwhelming advantage this time, so we feel very relieved."

"We players were also very surprised. The player Nagato Yuto also said, 'This kind of thing (such a smooth qualifying) may not happen again in the future'. I think this is a (qualifying process) to reach this level (smooth). "

Speaking of Nagato Yuto, Kubo Kenei said: "I trained with Nagato Yuto when I was in elementary school, and was said, 'Let's play football in the national team together in the future'."

"I don't know if Yu Nagato still remembers it, but the party who was said will remember it. It is because of that sentence that I was selected for the national team at the age of 18. Without that sentence, my football career might not be as smooth as it is now."

Regarding Yu Nagato who participated in four consecutive World Cups, Kubo Kenei said: "I think this is extraordinary. After all, the dream of a football player is to participate in the World Cup. He can participate in four consecutive sessions and may be selected for the national team for the next World Cup. This is a very amazing thing. I don't know how to describe this greatness, but I really respect him very much."
