Takefusa Kubo (20 years) is still a footballer about whom the Madrid has high hopes. The sports management does not lose track, in this case in Majorca, and they continue their evolution match by match. The decision that he returned to the island was made so that he would play there for as many minutes as possible, and this is what is happening. He has already 370 minutes of play and has started four of the five league games that we have been in. A great success considering, in addition, that the results are being favorable. Those of Lewis Garcia Square They have two wins, two draws and one loss, a very positive balance for a newly promoted.
This Wednesday, Kubo is coming home. Mallorca will visit Madrid at 22:00 (Movistar LaLiga) with the intention of delivering the big blow at the leader's home. It will be a special day for Take, that if everything goes according to plan, will play his first minutes at the Santiago Bernabéu. Before the pandemic he played against Madrid, but as a local in Are Moix. Once he started, he has faced up to four more times against the whites, but whenever he has done it as a visitor it has been in Valdebebas. Wednesday will be the sixth time he has played against 'his' team since he was signed in August 2019 from the Tokyo FC.
The first time he did it was in October of that year. It was the only time they have achieved victory: 1-0 with a goal from Lake Junior. Kubo played 30 minutes. That same season, after confinement, he visited Valdebebas and completed the 90 ', although his team fell 2-0. The following course came out on loan to Villarreal, where he had little prominence. With the Submarine Yellow He played against Madrid (1-1), but was only on the field for a minute. That assignment did not go well and in January he changed team: he signed for the Getafe. As he had not finished the first round, he was able to face the whites on two more occasions. In Valdebebas they won 2-0 and played 35 minutes and in the Coliseum Alfonso Pérez they tied at zero and Take did not come off the bench.
Kubo is looking forward to his first visit to the Bernabéu. His idea and what he planned with Madrid was to stay at the club this season, but the problems obtaining the Spanish nationality of Vinicius and the lack of space in the squad have made it impossible. Nevertheless, hopes to have the opportunity to wear white in 2022-2023. Showing off at Wednesday's game may be the first step to achieving it.
