My Take
Defenders rarely get the poems, so let me write one. Tsuyoshi Watanabe, born in Saitama in February 1997, is a 184 cm centre back who took the university route through Chuo before turning professional. No teenage-prodigy fanfare, just steady accumulation, and somewhere along the way that patience carried him to Feyenoord in the Eredivisie and into the Japan national team. What I like about players like him is that their best work is invisible: the interception that kills a counter before it exists, the header nobody replays. Forwards collect the headlines, but somebody has to keep the house standing. I am happy to watch the man doing the unglamorous half of the job.
