The failure to qualify for the Olympic men's football final made Japanese rising star Kenei Kubo feel particularly frustrated, but the three or four finals were about to start, and he had to pack up as soon as possible and prepare for the last match. According to Spain's Marca newspaper, Kubo Kenying will return to Real Madrid next week, but due to the limitation of non-EU players, he will continue to rent out in the new season. Although Kubo Kenei's bullish market in the transfer market has attracted the attention of many La Liga teams, Japan's Yahoo Sports pointed out that Kubo Kenying still exposed many problems at the Tokyo Olympic Games, which will hinder his further development.
Kubo Kenei
Last season, Kubo joined Villarreal and Getafe on loan, and although he gained more playing time under Bordalas (then getafe manager), compared to his first season in La Liga (35 appearances in Mallorca, scoring 4 goals), Kubo's performance has a very obvious decline, and his growth rate has not reached Real Madrid's expectations.
After a lackluster season, Kubo returned home to prepare for the Tokyo Olympics. In the group stage, he scored in three consecutive games and his performance was amazing. But after entering the knockout stage, he fell into silence.
During his time at Villarreal, Kubo was coldly treated by coach Emery for his poor fitness and lack of defensive performance. The semi-final of the Olympic Games against the Spanish Olympic Games, his flaws are exposed to the majority of the countrymen.
Among them, Japan's "Yahoo Sports" pointed out that in the first half against Spain, Kubo Kenei was very active on the offensive end, but his contribution to the defensive end was limited, and he could not build the first defense line of the Japanese Olympic Games in the front court, compared with Don Anlu's higher defensive participation. As far as the requirements of modern football are concerned, players must maintain high intensity at both ends of the attack and defense, which requires Kubo Kenei to improve its pertinence.
Fortunately, Kubo kenei is still very young, he has a lot of time to polish himself, and the talent and potential he has shown are enough to allow him to stay in La Liga to continue his studies. It is reported that real sociedad and Mallorca have both issued invitations to Kubo Kenei, the former who has established a close relationship with Real Madrid through the transfer of Erdegao, and the latter is Kubo Kenying's first stop in La Liga, which can provide him with a core position.
After the Tokyo Olympics, Kubo Kenei will make a decision about his future, if he can grow fast enough to meet the requirements of Real Madrid, and Vinicius, who occupies a non-EU player quota, can get a Spanish passport as he wishes, then as soon as the 2022/23 season, Kubo Kenying will be able to officially wear the white shirt of his dreams.
