Unveiling the Artistry of Wataru Endo: Dive into His Exclusive Performance Breakdowns

Wataru Endo, a football enthusiast through and through, has left an indelible mark with his one-of-a-kind approach to the beautiful game. The Japanese international took the football world by surprise when he joined Liverpool during the latter stages of the summer transfer window, securing a £17 million move from Stuttgart. This transfer came after Liverpool’s pursuits of Moise Caicedo and Romeo Lavia fell through.

Endo donned the No.3 shirt, previously worn by Fabinho, and has already made three appearances for the Reds. While his most recent appearance was a cameo in the 3-0 victory against Aston Villa, what truly sets Endo apart is his personal video diary, aptly named ‘Pick Up Match.’ In this unique vlog, Endo opens up about his on-field performances with a refreshing level of candor and insight.

Endo delves into the nitty-gritty of tactics and techniques, offering viewers an in-depth analysis of his game. The latest episode even sees him discussing his first three outings with Liverpool. On his website, Endo reflects, “I think soccer is about finding the best solution. The opponent, their system, their abilities, their characteristics, their conditions…while taking these into account, we have to choose which one to win. This is the fun of soccer. That’s the real thrill of it. I want to find more optimal solutions; I want to hear more about them. That’s what this content project is all about.”

In addition to his video blog, Endo has authored a book titled ‘Duel.’ This literary endeavor follows in the footsteps of his compatriot Kauro Mitoma, who gained recognition for his well-publicized thesis on dribbling during his university days. Endo’s commitment to the sport is further underscored by his four-year contract with Liverpool, making him the second Japanese player to represent the Anfield club.

Remarkably, Endo had been on Jurgen Klopp’s radar for quite some time, with the Liverpool manager being impressed by him during a friendly match three years ago. Klopp even sought information about Endo’s age from Takumi Minamino, who jokingly advised his fellow countryman to deceive Klopp by claiming he was 23 years old. Despite his actual age of 27 at the time, Klopp remained undeterred, describing Endo’s signing as “a really good one.”

Wataru Endo’s unique blend of talent, dedication, and transparency has made him a standout figure in the world of football, and his ‘Pick Up Match’ vlog is just one testament to his unwavering commitment to the sport he loves.
