The famous Japanese anime "Soccer Boy" is popular all over the world, and the football of the protagonist Big Empty Wing is my friend! It is also a classic line, the well-known French star Zidane, Argentina Messi have also publicly said that "Football Wing" has deeply influenced themselves, and its influence can be seen.
The big air wing is the protagonist of "Soccer Wing", the main position is the offensive midfield, coinciding with today's protagonist "Shinji Kagawa", whose author Yoichi Takahashi once said in an interview that Shinji Kagawa, who is also wearing the No. 10 jersey of the Japanese team, is like the big air wing in the manga, and the domineering Honda Keisuke is Hyuga Kojiro.
Shinji Kagawa has been a national team regular since childhood, and even scored the first goal of his national team career in 2008 at the age of 19, becoming the third youngest goal scorer in Japanese history and composing a prelude to his adult national team career.
He joined Sakura Osaka in the second division in 2006, becoming the first player in history to have not been exposed to professional team orthodoxy and signed with a professional team before graduating from high school, and also helped the team advance to the first division before leaving.
Shinji Kagawa also successfully transferred to the Bundesliga after spending more than 3 years with Sakura Osaka, and was poached by Premier League giants Manchester United in 2012, and the most enjoyable performance is definitely the hat-trick in the game, helping the team win 4-0, becoming the first Asian player in the history of the Premier League to score a hat-trick.
However, in recent years, Shinji Kagawa has also been affected by injuries, and last year's transfer period was short-sighted, mainly because he suffered a major injury to both legs and was out of the line for a long time, he was absent for as many as 237 days during his time in Germany from 2014 to 2019, and the two ankle injuries made him a substitute from a fixed starting player, although he was later loaned to Turkey.
In fact, last year, the old owner Osaka Sakura team also threw an olive branch to him, but was rejected by Shinji Kagawa, who still has a European dream, and the newly appointed sakura team coach Akio Koki has the grace of knowing him, when Kagawa joined the Osaka sakura team under his promotion, and recently there was also a message that the sakura team intended to buy out his contract, and the outside world is also quite concerned.
At present, Kagawa, which is like a phoenix with folded wings in Europe, will return to Japanese football after 11 years, and how the story of the live-action version of the big empty wing will be written, everyone is watching.
