I was interested in starting this topic, and I apologize for putting it in this forum, but the Asian section doesn't inspire a lot of confidence in me, as almost all the threads have zero replies.
Nowadays there's a lot of Japanese in the Belgian league. It's a good first step league for players looking to test themselves in Europe, and another player from their national squad has made his way over - Junya Ito to KRC Genk.
I was kind of surprised Daichi Kamada didn't earn a call up to their squad, as his strike rate for St. Truiden has been amazing. He's on loan from Eintracht Frankfurt.
Speaking of Frankfurt, Kicker rated Makoto Hasebe the best CB in the Bundesliga. He's so freaking underrated.
Gen Shoji, who partnered Maya Yoshida at the World Cup, didn't feature at the Asia Cup, as he was busy in France with his new club, Toulouse. Japan definitely had their issues defensively. Shoji may have been missed.
Son continued his vital goal scoring form for Spurs. Some are even putting him in the conversation of EPL Player of the Season.
Shinji Kagawa, once the poster boy of Japanese and Asian football in general, has fallen from grace tremendously. It's really sad honestly, what's happened to him since his move to Man United. Dortmund have frozen him out, and He's looking to secure a move to La Liga, but no club appears interested. So for now He's stuck in limbo. His last appearances for BVB were against third tier opposition for Dortmund's reserve side.
