After Wu Lei finished the September match of the national football round of 12, he posted photos of most of Japan's players returning to Europe at the airport back to Spain, which is the real gap between Chinese and Japanese football. Japan's young players are all aiming to stay in the ocean to rise the ball, and the veterans who stay in the west will return to the J League at the end of their careers to pass on their experience and experience in the west to young players.
The latest news from the Japanese media "Nikkan Sports" is that the 34-year-old Japanese international Nagatomo Yu will return to the J-League and join the old club Tokyo FC.
Yudo Nagatomo joined Tokyo FC directly from Meiji University in 2008 and started his career; in January 2011, he joined serie A team Cesena from Tokyo FC for a transfer fee of 1.6 million euros, starting his personal career in Foreign Countries; in the summer window of 2011, he joined Serie A giants Inter from Cesena for a transfer fee of 4.5 million euros, playing for 8 seasons and playing a total of 170 official matches for the Nerazzurri.
Yudo Nagatomo joined Turkish Super Galata in the summer window of 2018 for a transfer fee of 2.5 million euros, joined Marseille as a free agent in the summer window of 2020, and resumed his free body in the summer window of 2021. Nagatomo originally planned to stay in the Ocean, but considering his age and next year's Qatar World Cup, he chose the idea of returning to Japan to play in the J-League, and finally decided to return to his old club Tokyo FC.
Yuto Nagatomo, 34, is also Japan's main left-back and has played very well against the national football team. The most powerful Japanese football today is the system of staying in the west, the club is willing to release people, young players are willing to go out, which has created a Japanese national team dominated by foreign players. Nowadays, the physical confrontation of Japanese players is already above the national football team, coupled with excellent foot technology, it is indeed the existence of "hanging" the national football team. The success of Japanese football tells Chinese football that staying in the west is the only way out.
