My Take
There's something I genuinely respect about footballers who come up through the university route rather than the conveyor belt of youth academies — Hiroto Goya graduating from Kwansei Gakuin tells me he had options, and he still chose the pitch. Born in Kawanishi, Hyogo, he's proper Kansai through and through, and I always imagine players from that region carrying a certain stubborn resourcefulness with them. At 177 cm he's not towering over defenders, so you'd bet his game is built on reading the play, movement, and the kind of quiet technical work that doesn't show up in highlight reels. Capricorn energy is real — the grind, the patience, the slow build — and for a footballer that mindset matters more than any single flashy moment. The stuff that actually makes a career is the unglamorous hours nobody films, and I have nothing but respect for anyone who puts those in consistently.
