Giovanni Clunie

What draws me to Giovanni Clunie is the quiet grit of his path. A Costa Rican forward born in Cartago who has plied his trade not in glamorous leagues but with Japanese provincial sides like ReinMeer Aomori and Zweigen Kanazawa, he embodies the journeyman striker who chases goals far from home. At 192 cm he is a genuine target man, and there is something deeply admirable about a player adapting to a foreign language and culture just to keep scoring. Costa Rica punches above its weight in football, and Clunie carries a slice of that national pride into every match he plays in Japan.
