Endo, the captain of the Japan national team, is nearing the end of his second season as a Liverpool player having arrived from VfB Stuttgart in 2023.
The midfielder sees similarities between his current home city and where he grew up. “When I go to the waterfront in Liverpool, it reminds me of the port in Yokohama, where I’m from,” he explained.
And how might Endo use any downtime with his teammates to show them local sights during the trip?
“Each player has different things they want to do in Japan. Some of them love anime, so I’d like to take them to an anime shop,” he said.
“Others enjoy Japanese food, especially sushi, so I think it would be great to take them to a sushi restaurant.”
