Tonight's Club World Cup final result surprised everyone. Japanese team Kashima Antlers, who represented an Asian team in the final for the first time, drew 2-2 with Real Madrid in regular time with Shibasaki's goal. Although in extra time, Real Madrid suddenly scored two goals in a row to win the game. But about the player Shibasaki, I believe many fans are full of curiosity about him.
Kashima Antlers celebrates the goal
Against Real Madrid, such an achievement is worth showing off for Asian players. And tonight's Club World Cup match, Shibasaki Did It. He first stopped the ball and then drew a shot into the net in front of the small penalty area to help the team equalize.

Born in 1992 in Aomori Prefecture, Tohoku, Japan, Shibasaki grew up playing at Aobechi SSS, an amateur football club in japan, and won the Aomori Prefectural Elementary School Football Championship in the sixth grade of elementary school, and was caught by Kuroda Tsuyoshi,——— the head coach of yamada High School, a famous football school in Aomori Prefecture. When he was in the third year of Yamada Junior High School, Shibasaki won the second place in the All Japan Junior High School Football Championship. In 2010, he won the second place in the 88th All Japan High School Football Championship and became famous throughout the country. At the annual Japan High School Soccer Championships, there are always players who are pre-booked by J-League teams to embark on the road to professional football. Shibasaki is also a member of the Japanese school football star-making project, and he signed the Japanese J-League giant Kashima Antlers that year.
Shibasaki-dake
On January 19, 2011, Shibasaki officially became a professional player and played in the J-League with Kashima Antlers. Soon, the 18-year-old Shibasaki and the former Japanese international Ogasawara Yuo formed the main midfield partner of Kashima Antlers, imagine that in China, a student who has just graduated from high school quickly became the main player in the Chinese Super League team and partnered with a big guy like "Zheng Zhi".
It makes sense that Shibasaki was able to get such an opportunity, he has excellent passing ability and field vision, and his foot skills are also very good. Shibasaki possesses the sensitive touch and intelligent mind that a modern player must possess, and he is able to use his excellent insight to see through the weaknesses of his opponents. All along, Shibasaki has been both an offensive organizer in midfield and a shooter waiting for an opportunity to attack the city, and he has also been praised as "Endo Yasuhito's successor".
Since becoming a key player in Kashima Antlers in 2011, Shibasaki has won five championship trophies for the team, and in 2012, Shibasaki was named MVP of the Japan League Cup and the Best Newcomer Award for the 2012 Season. This eye-catching performance makes people think that he will be the next generation of Japanese superstars, and follow the footsteps of his predecessors to stay in the Bundesliga. However, Mount Shibasaki did not reach the heights expected.
In the Japanese national team, Shibasaki did not develop smoothly. He was selected for the national first team for the first time in February 2012 at the Kirin Cup Invitational Tournament, and on September 9, 2014, against Venezuela, Shibasaki scored his first national team goal. In 2015, the Japanese men's football team Bosnia and Herzegovina coach Halahodjic abandoned the five dynasties elder Hohito Endo in order to train Shibasaki, and awarded the No. 7 jersey that originally belonged to Endo Hohito to the 24-year-old Shibasaki. However, the weight of Halahodjic did not make Shibasaki soar. In 2016, Shibasaki had been sidelined from the national team due to state problems, and the former campus player's career reached a bottleneck.
From the attention of everyone at the time of his debut to the later lack of access to the national team, the development of Shibasaki was not a smooth road. But at this year's Club World Cup, the former campus player used a wonderful performance to tell the world that the former "Japan's first high school student" is back. This player, who is known as the "master of Japan's future midfield", deserves the attention of the Chinese Super League team!
