Japan National University is on the rise again
Endo Wataru is on alert again. It is news that Liverpool has begun recruiting "Sungsung, born in 2004" after Martin Subimendi's recruitment was thwarted.
"Liverpool missed Subimendi, who decided to stay at his hometown club Real Sociedad, but there is a player close by who is likely to have no adjustment problems with the transfer to Anfield. It is Adam Worton of Crystal Palace."
Endo recently went back and forth between heaven and hell. This is because Liverpool's new head coach Arne Slot wanted to recruit the sixth type of midfielder.
Endo was highly trusted by Jürgen Klopp. Endo helped promote Stuttgart, who was a second-division player in the 2019-20 season, and was reborn as a defensive midfielder representing the league by playing as a "captain" until the 2022-23 season. In the 2022-23 season, Klopp found a replacement to fill the gaps between Jordan Henderson and Fabinho, and recruited Endo at the end of the transfer window. With Klopp's high confidence, Endo played in many games. He played as a defensive midfielder and solidified his defensive line through consistent plays. In the end, he established himself as a main midfielder by scoring one goal in 29 games.
However, a problem arose. The departure of "Teacher" Klopp. The new coach, Slot, rejected all inquiries for Endo and expressed his intention to hire him. Meanwhile, he changed his position. "Liverpool rejected Endo's offer to recruit him this summer. It was because of the tough market conditions at that location. Liverpool is currently seeking to recruit a defensive midfielder position," the report said. Slot wanted to recruit a new Type 6 midfielder.
Sociedad's "luxury" Subimendi has emerged as a strong candidate. Born in 1999, Spanish national Subimendi showed excellent talent in protecting defense based on stable defense. Since his debut in Sociedad in 2019, he has been a regular player and won the title as the Spanish national team in the UEFA Euro 2024. The slot manager strongly wanted Subimendi, which shook Endo's position. Endo was in a difficult situation because he refused all offers from teams that wanted Endo to recruit at the beginning of the transfer market.
The situation turned around again. Subimendi decided to stay in Sociedad. "Riverpool's target Subimendi has decided to stay in Sociedad after refusing to transfer to Anfield. It was expected that Subimendi would leave Sociedad. However, Sociedad wanted to keep Subimendi and offered him a new contract at a higher salary," said Sky Sports, a British media outlet, on Sunday.
Endo was sighing with relief. However, the slot manager still wants to recruit the No. 6 midfielder. The target is Wharton from Palace. Born in 2004, Wharton is an English defensive midfielder. He is good at playing passes based on accurate kicks and is good at blocking opponents' balls with high level of soccer intelligence. He is considered the next Michael Carrick and is considered the next defensive midfielder in England.
He is only a promising player, but it is certainly a crisis for Endo. First of all, Worton is an English national, and the home groan is applied. In addition, the reason why the slot manager wants to recruit the sixth midfielder is that he needs to supply high-quality passes from the back to complete the "slot ball." The British "cut offside" said, "Worton is expected to have a big career due to his calmness and ability to handle the ball, and he can perfectly fit Liverpool's role as a deep-lying playmaker."
In the end, Endo is in a situation where it has to continue its non-stop competition. Endo has a contract with Liverpool until 2027. If he does not receive a transfer offer, he will have to risk everything to survive in the bloody competition. Endo's future is still at stake. 토토사이트 순위
