"Tsubasa" Kagawa carries the burden of old JapanCompared to the Asian representatives, Japan is in a much 'breathless' group (Colombia, Senegal and Poland). Therefore, despite difficulties in terms of strength, the "land of the rising sun" football team is determined to go far, even surpassing the 1/8 round achievement in 2002, 2014. The responsibility for Kagawa has been even heavier, especially after the first World Cup was lackluster four years ago (playing three games, not scoring any goals).

At his peak, Kagawa was compared to the legendary character "Captain Tsubasa" (captain Tsubasa) - who helped the Japanese team win the World Cup... in comics. The tournament in Russia will be the last opportunity for the 29-year-old star to play the role of "Captain Tsubasa", taking the country's football out of the pages of stories and reaching the world.
