Waiting for Take Kubo

The December 4, 2021, around a quarter past eight in the afternoon and in the 91st minute of the match, a solo run by Take Kubo towards Jan Oblak’s goal resulted in Mallorca’s second goal, the one who gave the victory over the Balearic Islands at the Wanda Metropolitano Against all odds. The vermilion added three points of great value, if you take into account that in their league not all the traveling companions were going to win in the rojiblanco fiefdom.

Take Kubo, madridista of rights and Mallorcan loancelebrated it in style, although he never said anything like that celebration was for his particular miniderbiand it is that the japanese goes about his business whoever the opponent is. “If with the goal I have been able to help Madrid, even better”, he commented with a smile.

This is your second loan on the island and, although he pointed out very good things at the beginning of the season, seems to have entered a phase of lethargy. He scores little and decides less, but whenever he has the ball at his feet it seems that something is going to happen. He has a goal and a half (this medium had the collaboration of Unai Simón) and an injury that prevented him from playing eight matches.

The World Cup challenge

Asian time also awaits him (and Kang-in Lee) and who knows if he saves his best for the Qatar World Cup. In that case, Japan qualified for the appointment, to the Japanese the group in which Spain is, has corresponded to them, so while Majorcanism awaits him and Real Madrid is not known, the truth is that the next winter will be everyone’s rival.

His low moment of form offers a challenge: to score against Atleti again as he did in the first lap in that solo race that culminated in the one-on-one with Oblak; maybe that will put the batteries for help Mallorca to save itself and in the future we will see, if in Madrid, in Mallorca or in Japan and against Spain.
