Endo: Even if I only have 5 to 10 minutes of playing time at Liverpool, I want to do my best

May 22nd News In an exclusive interview with LeminoFootball, Endo shared his feelings about Liverpool's Premier League championship this season and his role in the team.

Former Urawa Red Diamond teammate Yosuke Kashiki made a special trip to the UK for this interview. Although Endo Katsu was a little shy during the interview, he still honestly shared his experiences and feelings.

After Klopp stepped down, new head coach Slott led Liverpool to win the Premier League championship again after five years. Endo became the fifth Japanese player to win the Premier League. He first expressed his joy for winning the championship: "I am very happy to be able to win the championship and participate in it personally. I have always hoped to stand on the court and feel the moment of winning the championship, and finally realized this wish."

Although Endo came on as a substitute most of the time in Liverpool's second season, he always put the interests of the team first. "Even if I only have 5 to 10 minutes of playing time, I want to contribute to the team. In order to win the championship, I have maintained this mentality throughout the season."

He believes that in the long season, it is not just the main players, but the performance of the substitutes is also crucial. "I'm called the 'Terminator', which made me realize the importance of maintaining a high level of performance and having a positive impact on the team whenever I play. When the opportunity comes, you have to grab it."

After a period of hard work, Endo believes that he has adapted to his role at Liverpool and is able to maintain a good mindset over the long season.

"No doubt, this is a year full of rewards. No matter where I am on the team, the best level is the most important thing, and that's what I learned."
