Yesterday was Kubo Kenei's 24th birthday. According to Japanese media "Japan Sports", Kubo Kenyo was interviewed during the training interval yesterday, and during the interview he expressed his desire to win the Golden Globe Award through his World Cup performance.

Interview with Kazuo Kubo, taking Modric, who won the Golden Globe Award in 2018 as an example, talked about the bonus of the World Cup performance on the Golden Globe Award: "Players who usually win the Golden Globe Award are the best players among the clubs with outstanding results over the whole season, such as winning the Champions League championship and other clubs. However, 2026 is the World Cup year, the standards will be different. Japanese players may be selected through the performance in the World Cup. This four-year event may change the selection criteria. I personally am concerned about This is expected. If you don’t even dare to think about it, the goal will never be achieved. Since you have set a goal, you will strive for it with your own efforts. "

Speaking of the team's many players who are the same year or even young as him, Kubo Kenyo said: "If they feel timid when competing with me, it will be difficult to gain a foothold in the national team."

"In the next game, winning first is the prerequisite, and I will also try to enjoy the fun of football in it."
