My Take
What I admire most about Takumi Minamino is the quiet persistence behind his journey. From Cerezo Osaka to Liverpool to Monaco, he never had the flashiest physique at 172cm, yet his sharp instincts inside the box make him a constant threat. Winning Rookie of the Year in his debut season hinted at greatness, and he has steadily lived up to it. For me, he embodies a certain Osaka grit, scrappy, humble, relentless. He often pops up with crucial goals for the national team, and that knack for the big moment is what keeps me firmly in his corner.
