The coming months will mark the future of Takefusa Kubo (18 years old). As AS may know, there is nothing decided yet and it all depends on what Modric does, the return of Odegaard, the assignments and the possible signings. The most logical option, against which the Japanese will fight, is that in the 2020-21 loan to a Primera team with a style that matches their conditions and, preferably, dispute European competition.
Last summer there was little room for maneuver in this regard. Kubo made the preseason with the first team and had some incursion with Castilla, but the quota of non-EU members left him with almost no options of remaining in the subsidiary since he had hardly had the option to debut in the League. That and the proposals of First clubs like Mallorca, Valladolid and Leganés They made him take a break by seeking an assignment to tan.
The Take in Mallorca is his private mili, living a football that I would have rarely known. Before the last classified, the Balearic Islands are condemned to fight to save themselves and, despite this, Kubo (3 goals and 3 assists) has taken its most competitive side: it occupies 9 places in attempted dribbles (74), 10 in fouls received (46), 18 in dribbles (34), 27 in entries won (16), 29 in passes with danger (20), 30 in intercepted passes (16), 31 in good centers (7) or 33 in auctions (28).
The records show a footballer who has not abandoned his bold style and is being applied in defensive work. With that baggage, at the moment, knocks on the door of Madrid, but Being an extra-community (needs ten years in a row in Spain to achieve nationality) complicates the mission. Convinced of its potential and that the final stretch of each season is the most influential The next market, especially having to visit the Bernabéu in April, does not even throw in the towel.
The Games, on the horizon
Another important issue to be resolved about Kubo is that of the Games. He is in the prelist and Japan awaits him in Tokyo 2020 because it is an icon in his country and there the tournament is seen as historic. Madrid and the coronavirus crisis will have the last word, but Take wants to be an Olympic and only Zidane's request would take away the idea. If the club requires you for the tour, a showcase for the Japanese to win its place, would not go to the Games. If it were given, at their destination they would have to accept the situation. But now, with the decisive section of the course ahead, the planning at the Bernabéu to be determined and the coronavirus issue, Kubo's future is in the air.
