  1. The famous scene of the World Cup

In the third round of the 1998 FIFA World Cup group stage in France, Japan and Jamaica, who had both been out of the group and were also new to the World Cup, fought for honor. In the second half, japan, which was already 0:2 behind, was replaced by a pure white player, wearing the no. 12 Lubisu. After Lü Bisu came on, the Japanese team's attack began to improve greatly, and personally assisted Masashi Nakayama to score the first goal in the history of the Japanese team's World Cup, which became a famous scene in the history of the World Cup. And Lü Bisu himself, as the first person who was naturalized by the Asian team of non-blood and had the honor to participate in the World Cup finals and play in the game, will forever be recorded in the annals of the World Cup.

  1. A life of achievement in Japan

Rubisu, as an authentic Brazilian, was originally named López Wagner. Lubisu, who came from the youth training of São Paulo in Brazil, was unable to gain a foothold in Brazil due to his own strength, and joined Nissan Motors in 1987 and played in the Japanese Football League for 15 years until he retired in 2002.

Japan, which implements a dual citizenship system, planned to naturalize López as early as 1992, but because López was not aware of Japan's nationality policy at that time, he refused in order to retain Brazilian citizenship. In 1997, in order to strengthen the front line of the Japanese team, the Japanese Football Association once again tried to naturalize López, at this time Lopez already understood Japan's policies and culture, and in order to seize the opportunity to participate in the World Cup, he decisively chose to naturalize in Japan, and took a Japanese name: Lubisu.
