Liverpool midfielder Wataru Endo talks about ‘living his dream’ at the club
Wataru Endo expressed his excitement and satisfaction about being a part of the Liverpool squad, emphasizing that he is “living the dream.”
Endo had the opportunity to start for Liverpool in their recent clash against Leicester City, and he made a significant impact with a strong second-half performance as the Reds sought to overturn a one-goal deficit. Having joined earlier this summer from Stuttgart, Endo has made six appearances across all competitions for Jurgen Klopp’s men so far. Speaking to The Athletic [subscription required], here is what Endo had to say on transitioning into Liverpool:
“The system is different, the game is faster and my position here is a little bit higher than it was.”
“The manager doesn’t want me to just stay in front of the defenders. I have to go higher and try to get the ball all the time.”
“Here we have to win every game, but I don’t feel pressure as a result of that. I am humble, but I have the mentality that I’m here because they believe in me. It’s exciting to be a part of it. This is my dream and I’m enjoying it. We have done great so far.”
For Endo, being a part of Liverpool is the realization of a dream, and he is thoroughly enjoying the experience.
Endo’s early days at Liverpool haven’t been without challenges, and he has faced criticism from some quarters. However, the resilient midfielder has demonstrated mental strength in the face of adversity, remaining focused on adapting to Klopp’s system and contributing to the team’s success.
Endo’s journey at Liverpool certainly represents a significant opportunity for him to grow as a player and be a part of one of the world’s top football clubs. His willingness to adapt and learn in a new environment, combined with his determination to overcome challenges, certainly bodes well for his future at Liverpool.
As he continues to settle into Klopp’s system and gain more experience in English football, Endo could become an integral part of Liverpool’s midfield, further strengthening the team’s chances of achieving success in domestic and European competitions.
As Liverpool aim for success on multiple fronts, including the Premier League and other competitions, having players with Endo’s mindset can surely make a significant difference.
