(VIDEO) Why did Endo choose to wear number 3 in Liverpool?

Wataru Endo, the Japanese midfielder, who comes from shining at VfB Stuttgart in the Bundesliga, made the great leap of his career and became the new reinforcement of the 'reds', who needed to add a new face in the central area. The Asian player is already under the orders of Jürgen Klopp.

After the frustrated signings of Moisés Caicedo and Roméo Lavia, who preferred to go to Chelsea, Liverpool saw other options for the midfield and this day (18/08) made official the arrival of Wataru Endo as a reinforcement at Anfield Road. The Japanese midfielder took the big step of his career and signed for the English giants, after the Reds paid 19 million euros to VfB Stuttgart for his services.

After a long career in football, where he spent time in his native country, the Belgian league and Germany, the midfielder, who played in the World Cup with the Japanese, consolidated his position in Stuttgart, with good seasons in the Bundesliga that now allows him to sign a contract with the Merseyside team until 2027. Endo will wear the number 3 shirt and has already been put under the orders of Jurgen Klopp, who is working ahead of the second Premier League matchday, where Liverpool will be looking for their first win on 19/08 when they host Bournemouth.

<strong>Chose number 3</strong>

During his first interview, Endo explained that the number 3 is a number he likes and that is why he decided to accept it, besides the fact that it is the number left vacant by the Brazilian Fabinho who left for Al Ittihad in Saudi Arabia. Endo is expected to be that player who occupies the number 6 in midfield.
