Takashi Inui
Takashi Inui attacks space from the left, drifting into half-spaces to feed late runs. He rose through Yasu High to stardom. Takashi Inui moved from European football to VfL Bochum, then secured a move to Eintracht Frankfurt. Inui then starred in La Liga with Eibar, scoring against Barcelona at Camp Nou. World Cup 2018 saw Inui score crucial goals for Japan against Senegal and Belgium. Back in Japan, Inui returned to Cerezo Osaka, then captained Shimizu S-Pulse to the 2024 J2 League title. As a left winger, Takashi Inui checks short then spins in behind and links play with one-touch layins. He presses high to force turnovers from the front and finishes moves by getting shots off quickly. The punchline is that Inui thrives when attacking the back post and finishing moves.
