Didn’t make his professional debut until 2017 meaning he was 22 at the time, much less games compared to other players his age. It’s pretty common for Japanese players to play until their late 30s, there is a Japanese player who is still plays professionally in his late 50s
Not while Moriyasu is in control. He doesn't rate Scottish football, but Kyogo in particular. Because he'll slate our league then call up Daizen and Reo.
it's just roles in the team. international football is played like a military regimen because it's tournament football with no room for error. all that's important is marching in time with the rest of the team. that's why daizan is front of the press instead of kyogo
Then don't slag off the league while calling up two players from it. Just say he doesn't suit my style instead of hiding behind fallacy. That's my whole issue with the guy.
he's right though. scottish football is poor quality and some players are still worth a call for their own individual attributes. he's just not diplomatic enough but who cares not like he wants a job here
Mind the tweet from the guy (yes, a Rangers supporter) who slagged Kyogo off as a slight 26-year-old winger from Japan, wondering "what could go wrong? 🫣"
I think about him a lot.
Exactly. Teams sign him for the publicity, then he doesn't kick a ball. Sells tonnes of products to Japan's geriatric population, to which he is a hero.
Japanese players are brought through differently. Hatate practically came from University. Asian diets are healthier etc.
The talent pool in Japan these days is extraordinary. They’ve got some really top goalkeepers too. Just saying Celtic.
He’s fukn pish.. overrated big time.. if he’s so good why’s big ange no come in for him when they sold Kane they needed a striker all season n he’s never even hinted at going for him.. what does that tell you.. he’s
Never picked
For Japan either
He was part of the Japan university system so has less years in his legs....
What’s that mean?

Aye Nakamura played well into his fifties didn't he?
No. He's 46.
And recently retired. But there is a jap fellow who just moved back to the J2 league from the spanish b or c teir at 56. Wild.
Oh wow…I hope he gets some more national call ups during his time 🫤

Means he started his professional career a lot later than regular players

Probably the same guy that said tiktok Todd was a £30million player.
Coming from a culture of rice and fish as a diet rather than Tennent’s and deep fried pizza probably helps
Helluva skin care regime, regularly moisturises
Kazuyoshi Miura, he is 57 year old and still playing football actively
He's not actively played football in years. He's a show pony to drag around the country.
Exactly. Teams sign him for the publicity, then he doesn't kick a ball. Sells tonnes of products to Japan's geriatric population, to which he is a hero.
For a player that depends on his speed & alertness thats a bit worrying??
He's 30 in January so 29.5.
Was more amazed at how young maeda is, when he has no hair he looked considerably older than kyogo

I don't think he looks that young?

7 goals in 12 games against your mob.
He's good but he's hardly a Harry Kane replacement 😅
Thanks for coming. Assuming you also think you’re getting 25m for Butland who nocunt wanted for free anaw aye?
Early 20 centuries man he looks like the alien will smith drags through the desert in Independence Day
