At yesterday's conference, Japan international player Endo Hang expressed his views on the current phenomenon of Japanese players choosing to play in the English Premier League. He not only affirmed the positive impact of this phenomenon on Japanese soccer, but also analyzed in depth the importance of overseas experience on the personal growth of players and the overall strength of the national team.
Hiromu Endo began by pointing out that Japanese players playing in England have been receiving higher and higher ratings in recent years, a phenomenon that not only reflects the improvement in the strength of Japanese players, but also the strong interest in Japanese soccer around the world. He revealed that even the staff of English Premier League giants Liverpool would take the initiative to ask him about other Japanese players, which does not mean that they have immediate plans to bring in reinforcements, but it is enough to prove that the popularity and recognition of Japanese players in the international football world is increasing.
Hiromu Endo further emphasized that not only the English Premier League, but more and more Japanese players are also choosing to join clubs in sub-divisions such as the English Football Championship (Championship). He believes that such choices have far-reaching significance for the development of Japanese soccer. By being able to train and play at a higher level overseas, young players are not only able to quickly improve their technical and tactical skills, but also better adapt to different soccer cultures and styles of play. This valuable overseas experience will have a positive impact on their future careers.
In addition, Mr. Endo mentioned the role of overseas experience in improving the strength of the national team. He pointed out that those players who have undergone training overseas and returned to the national team often bring more advanced soccer concepts and tactical ideas. At the same time, their improved strength overseas will also inject stronger competitiveness into the Japanese national team. Therefore, Endo Hang believes that the boom of Japanese players staying overseas is a win-win situation, which is conducive to the growth and development of individual players as well as the improvement of the overall level of Japanese soccer.
