Shinsaku Watanabe

After making a miraculous recovery from a complex upper arm fracture, this Japanese winger has channelled that pain into unstoppable explosiveness and brilliant attacking intelligence. With his lightning-fast bursts and knife-sharp dribbling, he leaves defenses helpless, even though his total lack of defensive awareness can be frustratingly obvious. His icy focus on the pitch makes him a constant threat who refuses to back down when victory is within reach.
