Switching to Sports360, hopefully Kuryu Matsuki can find a new club in the winter. Really needs to get game time & his confidence back.
I wrote a couple years ago that he should go to the Bundesliga as his first European destination & I still stand by that.

Starting XI for JAPAN 🇯🇵 vs. Ghana 🇬🇭
- As reported, as close as possible to the line-up that started vs. Brazil
- Minamino with the captain's armband again 🫡
- As Moriyasu stated yesterday, Hayakawa is the main GK candidate at the moment

In a similar vein, I'm always surprised that the PGPL 🇮🇷 is only 16 teams (I know they reduced it from 18 a decade ago) and the K.League 🇰🇷 is only 12 teams (demographics aside...)
(I think #JLeague with 20 teams is too much, look at the fixture congestion in recent years...)

Yotaro Nakajima wins the "New Hero Award" for his performances in the Levain #JLeague Cup!
Hopefully he can recover back in time for the final 🤞
(I'll be writing up a scouting report on him in the next week or so 👀)

Then, a question on Wataru Endo's place on the team, whether he should start for Japan given his limited club minutes. My answer to this question changed significantly after this window vs. back in September 👀

Next, asked about switching to a Back 4 instead // finding Full Backs. Similar theme so I answered both at the same time.
