SKOR.id – Kapten Timnas Jepang, Wataru Endo, percaya diri bisa memberikan hasil terbaik untuk timnya saat menghadapi Timnas Indonesia pada lanjutan Grup C putaran ketiga Kualifikasi Piala Dunia 2026 zona Asia.

Seperti diketahui, musim ini Wataru Endo minim menit bermain di kompetisi Liga Inggris 2024-2025 bersama Liverpool FC. 

Tercatat, Wataru Endo baru memainkan lima pertandingan bersama Liverpool, dengan total 19 menit, di era kepelatihan Arne Slot.

Wataru Endo pun mengaku bahwa dirinya memang tidak menjadi pilihan utama Liverpool di Liga Inggris musim ini, 

Meski demikian, gelandang 31 tahun itu tetap melakukan tugasnya sebagai pemain profesional, berlatih serta menjaga kebugaran. 

Ia pun tidak masalah dengan kondisi tersebut dan tetap akan berupaya keras untuk bisa membawa Timnas Jepang meraih kemenangan atas Timnas Indonesia.

“Walau saya sekarang tidak bermain reguler di Liverpool, tetapi saya rasa tidak ada masalah karena saya sudah biasa bermain sebagai profesional,” kata Wataru Endo dalam sesi konfrensi pers menjelang pertandingan, Kamis (14/11/2024).

“Dan saya juga latihan, jadi kondisi saya juga cukup bagus. Sebagai kapten Timnas Jepang, saya percaya diri dan akan berjuang segenap tenaga. Besok, saya akan berjuang dengan semangat,” tambah mantan gelandang VfB Stuttgart itu. 

Pertandingan melawan Timnas Indonesia akan digelar di Stadion Utama Gelora Bung Karno (SUGBK), Jakarta, pada Jumat (15/11/2024) malam.

Wataru Endo enggan menganggap enteng Timnas Indonesia. Ia akan tetap menghargai pasukan Merah-Putih dan bakal menampilkan permainan terbaik.

“Besok kami akan main di kandang lawan, Indonesia sangat antusias terhadap sepak bola, dan sekarang di Indonesia banyak pemain dan suporter yang sangat menyambut kami,” ujar Wataru Endo.

“Saya merasa suasananya sangat hangat (welcoming). Besok kami akan menghadapi Indonesia sebagai musuh, jadi saya akan tetap menunjukkan respek dan memaksimalkan penampilan terbaik,” dia memungkasi. 

Timnas Jepang saat ini menempati peringkat pertama klasemen sementara Grup C putaran ketiga Kualifikasi Piala Dunia 2026 zona Asia dengan raihan 10 poin. 

Dari empat pertandingan, tim berjuluk Samurai Biru itu sukses memetik tiga kemenangan dan meraih satu hasil seri 

Adapun, hasil seri itu didapatkan ketika menjamu Australia pada partai terakhir mereka yang berakhir dengan skor 1-1.
