Yuto Nagatomo is one of Japan’s most historic soccer players, but at 39 years old he did not expect the nomination for the World Cup in the United States, Mexico, and Canada.
To the full-back’s surprise, his name was indeed included on the list of players who will travel to represent their national team, prompting a surprising reaction.
Nagatomo began to cry with emotion, not only because of how unexpected the situation was, but also because he will break an important record for his country: he will be the first player to play in 5 World Cups with Japan, further enlarging his legend in Asian soccer.
