Kaishu Sano

Okay, here's a guy I have a real soft spot for. Kaishu Sano grew up in Tsuyama, a quiet corner of Okayama, and somehow ended up grinding it out in the Bundesliga over in Germany, which still feels a little surreal to me. He's a defensive midfielder, and not the flashy kind that pops up on highlight reels nuking shots into the top corner. No, his whole thing is the dirty work: hounding ball-carriers, sticking to them like a shadow, never letting the play breathe. Watching his engine run for ninety minutes legitimately tires me out. He's the unsung type who makes a team tick, and honestly those are the players I find myself rooting for hardest. Quietly indispensable, and I love that.
