When Wataru Endo first arrived in Europe to play for Belgian club Sint-Truiden in 2018, few of his new colleagues knew what to expect. He had not made it off the bench for Japan at that summer's World Cup. Nor was it so easy to communicate. Issame Charai was the assistant coach at Sint-Truiden. He remembers those early challenges. 'He was really shy and his English was not so good so it was difficult,' he tells Sky Sports.
'When I came into the dressing room, I was always telling the coach to put me in the same team as Wataru because then we would never lose. I love Wataru.' Gomez regards Endo as an 'example of how team sport should look' because of his attitude - someone who is 'always giving everything for the group' - and it is noticeable that his new team-mates and manager are already telling similar tales about the player.
