TOULOUSE, France: Japan defender Gen Shoji has already endured a bruising experience against one global superstar in Cristiano Ronaldo but hopes that experience will work in his favour when he confronts another in the shape of French World Cup winner Kylian Mbappe on Sunday .
"To compare Ronaldo and Mbappe, I will have to have played both of them. I should have a better idea after the game but it will be complicated." To help him integrate in La Ville Rose , Toulouse have drafted in Japanese compatriot Toru Ota, who has played in the women's teams at Lyon and PSG. "I was very surprised by the quality of French football," added the 15-time capped international who was left heartbroken by Japan's World Cup elimination in a 3-2 last-16 loss to Belgium in Russia last summer after they had led 2-0.
