The national team and clubs are both sluggish. What happened to Messi in "Japan"?

Japanese international Kenyo Kubo has fallen into a trough in both the club and the national team recently, which has aroused widespread attention and concern from the outside world about his status.

's condition is sluggish and needs adjustments urgently. In the early morning of September 25, in the 6th round of La Liga, Real Sociedad defeated Mallorca 1-0 at home with a key goal of Oyasabal. However, the team's core member Kenyo Kubo failed to continue his previous brilliant performance. He fought on the court for 85 minutes, completed only one shot and created two scoring opportunities, but unfortunately he failed to provide assists and had a pass success rate of only 74%. Overall, his performance was dull.

So far this season, Kubo Kenyo only scored one goal against Valencia, and then fell into a goal drought in five consecutive games, including this game against Majorca. His offensive power has greatly reduced his role in the team. The performance of the national team is also disappointing, not only in the club, but also in the national team. In the friendly match against Mexico on September 7, he performed mediocrely, and the team finally drew 0-0. When facing Team USA three days later, he didn't even get a minute of playing time and completely became a bystander on the bench.

The gap between glorious past and reality

Looking back on the past few seasons, Kubo Kenei is undoubtedly one of the most dazzling offensive cores of Real Sociedad. Since the 2022/23 season, he has directly participated in 30 goals (22 goals and 8 assists) in 102 La Liga games, which is far beyond any teammates during the same period and has become an indispensable offensive engine for the team.

However, the current "silence" has made many fans feel anxious. Spanish media have reported that Kubo Kenyoshi was disappointed that the team missed the European game, and believed that he was ready for a higher level of competitive environment and was considering transfers. Despite this, he decided to stay at Real Sociedad after the summer transfer window closed.

How to quickly regain the inspiration and efficiency of the past is the biggest challenge facing Kubo Kenyo.
