Players to Watch

Marcinho (Kawasaki Frontale)

This is the fourth season of the Brazilian in the Japanese top division. He has been an integral part of the Kawasaki side and has performed quite well in the last few seasons. Even though this season didn’t start as he would have liked, he still has the quality to deliver when his team needs him.

Despite having a short stature, the Brazilian is fast and strong. His core strength makes him stand out, as his hold-up play is really good. With his tricks, he is able to beat defenders to create opportunities for himself and his teammates.

Overall, he is a fine player who will be a threat to the away side in the upcoming fixture. He has played eight games this season in which he got two yellow cards.

Daiya Tono (Yokohama Marinos)

Tono played for Frontale a few seasons back and spent four years playing for them. But this is his first season with Yokohama, and it hasn’t started as he would like it to. As the club are struggling to get good results. Tono is one of the most underrated players in the J1 League.

He is a versatile player who can play on both wings and also as a striker. Tono is a good finisher inside the box. He doesn’t need many opportunities to score. He is capable of dribbling using both of their feet and can create a lot of problems for the opposition team.
