[골닷컴] Reporter Man-Sung Han = Real Madrid’s newcomer Takefusa Kubo (19), who transferred to Getafe this winter on loan, expressed his determination that it was a requirement to meet his expectations.
Kubo drew attention when he transferred to Real from FC Tokyo in 2019. Prior to this, he grew up through the Barcelona Youth Academy as a child, but returned to the Japanese stage after being judged that he violated the FIFA rules for recruiting minor players at the time. However, many European clubs who have recognized Kubo’s potential since the past steadily observed him, and he transferred to Real two years ago after making his professional debut in Japan.

Real last season signed Kubo on loan to Spain’s La Liga sub-team Mallorca. Kubo served as Mallorca’s main class right flank midfielder. Real then transferred him on loan to the top team Villarreal ahead of this season. Real hoped that Kubo would grow by exerting competitiveness in Villareal, which is evaluated one step higher than Mallorca in its objective strategy. However, Kubo was seldom able to take the lead in Villarreal in the first half of this season. Eventually, Real and Kubo agreed to give Villareal a large portion of the rent owed, and to transfer him to Getafe in the first half of this month. After that, Kubo recently took a chance to start two consecutive games at Getafe.
On the 28th (Korean time), on the official website of Getafe, Kubo said, “(Repaying for Real’s trust) is a requirement, not a sense of responsibility.” He said, “The faith that Real has shown me must be rewarded with results and content of the game. I have a duty to respond. As a player, it is positive to be recognized and exposed to the media as a player. “It’s getting used to training facilities, stadiums, and people.”

Kubo said, “It stands out because the atmosphere in the dressing room is very bright,” and “We are a team that talks a lot. Sometimes there are too many conversations, but I like this atmosphere. Les Allenya are players who need time to adjust, but the open atmosphere of the team and the welcoming situation are very helpful.”
Meanwhile, Getafe is in 13th place in La Liga with 6 wins, 5 draws and 8 losses as of this season.
