DBasia.news – The host of the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, the Japanese team in the men’s soccer sport maintains a chance to win the gold medal. Hajime Moriyasu’s Japan advanced to the knockout phase.
Japan go through group A as leaders above Mexico, France and South Africa with nine points from three wins: scoring one goal and conceding one. Japan won 1-0 over South Africa, 2-1 contra Mexico, and 4-0 against France.
One of Japan’s stars in the three matches was Takefusa Kubo. The 20-year-old is the only player to score in all of the Olympic group games. Currently La Masia Barcelona alumni play for Real Madrid.
Kubo is not only a tap for Japan’s goal at the Tokyo Olympics, but also the team’s attack manager with his vision of play and his technique when dribbling the ball. No doubt the nickname of the Japanese Lionel Messi was pinned to him.
Takefusa Kubo’s good performance with Japan is believed by Marca to cause ‘problems’ for Real Madrid. Carlo Ancelotti’s Los Blancos will face a dilemma ahead of the 2021-2022 season. The dilemma is using his service or being loaned to another club?
Chance to show off at Real Madrid
For three consecutive seasons Madrid loaned him to Mallorca, Villarreal and Getafe. Ahead of the new season Madrid must decide to loan him back or use his services, because it is impossible for Madrid to release this talent on a permanent sale.
Madrid is allegedly going to be more selective in seeing the needs of the team with Kubo, because in his current playing position plus his playing style, Madrid already has Marco Asensio, Rodrygo Goes, and Vinicius Junior.
It would be better for Madrid to loan him to another club to hone his skills and experience than to warm up on the bench.
Even so, Madrid must decide Kubo’s fate quickly, because there are rules for registering three non-European players in LaLiga. Vinicius, Rodrygo, Eder Militao, Gareth Bale and Kubo are the five players currently on the non-European count.
