Japan national team announced starting XI of the friendly match v Tunisia. Kyogo and Hatate play from the start. It’s been a long time since Kyogo played at Vissel Kobe’s home stadium, and he expressed his enthusiasm at press conference as follows.

Kyogo: “Canada had high intensity, and their defence was organised. But now we are in good condition, so I want to play with confidence in today’s match. I used to play in Kobe for about three and a half years, so Kobe is like my hometown. After all, I’m grateful for being able to come back to this place as a player of the national team. I want to please all fans with my performance.”

Many fans looking forward to Kyogo’s performance are gathered at the stadium, and tickets are sold out. The match will start soon. In 4-2-3-1 system, Kyogo will play as striker and Hatate as LWG. I’m looking forward to Kyogo’s goal.
