Wataru Endo is Japan's captain and one of the most respected defensive midfielders in the Premier League, signed by Jürgen Klopp at Liverpool in 2023 as an emergency solution who quickly proved his worth. His reading of the game, tireless pressing, and ability to screen a back four without overcomplicating his role made him a reliable presence at Anfield. Previously a cornerstone of VfB Stuttgart's Bundesliga survival battles, Endo brings leadership forged in adversity. For Japan, he is the midfield spine — the player who allows more creative teammates to operate with freedom.
