Takeji Yamanaka

As an unstoppable force in midfield, he combines immense power with a sprint speed that leaves opponents helpless, even if his timing on sliding tackles occasionally misses the mark. He is so cocky that he demands to retie the laces of a randomly selected teammate before kickoff, a ritual that leaves the squad simultaneously annoyed and amused. Despite some clumsiness with ground tackles, he remains a defensive wall who refuses to lose a single aerial duel.
