Takehiro Tomiyasu

Tomiyasu is the defender I always wanted on my team and never expected to see on a highlight reel. Right back, left back, centre back: he moves between all three without ever looking like he is improvising, and defending well from three different angles is much harder than it sounds. At 188 cm he could win by force, but he would rather read the pass before it is played. Fukuoka to Belgium, Italy and England, then Ajax, with a long stretch in Japan's national team along the way. Injuries interrupted him more often than his ability ever deserved. I have a lasting soft spot for the quietly competent player nobody needs to discuss.
