The market is also unusually active. We're seeing a lot of Japanese players who are playing in Europe
transfer to another club (professional sports)
There are many players who have gone to better teams and then there are many players who have gone out of Japan and traveled abroad. Some of the players who have left Japan have gone back to their roots and returned to the J-League. In addition to Japan, the Saudi Arabian League, the representative league of West Asia, has also recruited a large number of world-class players to the Gulf oil countries, increasing the league's strength and influence in a single summer. In any case, this kind of activity tells us that the attention of Japanese and even Asian soccer is at an all-time high.
Soon after the start of the season in the top five leagues, fans were flooded on the Asian Football Discussion Forum by the excellent performances of Japanese players, including Takuma Asano, Koh Endo, Kenshin Kubo, Junya Ito, Koukawa, and Hyung-Woo Furuhashi, who scored 13 goals in 11 major European tournaments. The good performance of the Japanese foreign players has continued after three weeks. Among these players, we found a "long time missing" player who scored in the
new season
So far in four league matches, he has scored three goals and three assists, already equal to the total number of goals and assists of last season. The Japanese player who has shown a high level of performance is the familiar Takumi Minamino!
Takumi Minamino has finally returned to his efficient self after his second season with Ligue 1 side Monaco. This article will take a look at his good performances, analyze and discuss what kind of changes he has made to revive himself.
Monaco, at the beginning of June after the end of the last season, will be

They lost to Eindhoven in the Dutch Eredivisie and then to Leverkusen in the UEFA Cup knockout stage. In addition to their ineffectiveness in Europe, they could have secured UEFA Cup or UEFA Europa League qualification in Ligue 1, but back-to-back losses in their final two matches resulted in ending the season in sixth place in the league, missing out on all of the European competition in the upcoming season, which was the main reason for Clemente's termination.
By July, Monaco tapped into the decision to sign Austrian coach Adi Hütter for three years to lead Monaco. The new coach has previous coaching experience in Austria, Switzerland and Germany. His personal coaching record is mainly in the Austrian Super League, Red Bull Salzburg, where he won the double (Austrian Super League + Austrian Cup) and the Swiss Super League. In Germany, Frankfurt did not have too many spectacular results, but he also helped the team reach the quarterfinals of the UEFA Cup in his first season, and then reached the quarterfinals of the German Cup in the following year.

Outside of the switch, Monaco's second top scorer, Swiss striker Blair Embolo, has been injury-prone in 2023, and recently suffered another injury shortly before the start of the season, leaving few options in the forward positions and giving our protagonist Takumi Minamino a seeming glimpse of opportunity.

He is very much looking forward to working with him. Why is the addition of new manager Adi Hütter in the spotlight? The main reason is that he has a long history with Japanese players. First of all, Takumi Minamino's success in joining Red Bull Salzburg was a result of Schüttel's success in the tournament.

Although he didn't coach Minamino for much time, his guidance allowed Minamino to slowly lay down his own strengths and style of play, which led to a later battle with the
