30 October 2022 Arsenal vs Nottingham Forest. Takehiro Tomiyasu started as a left-back. At the beginning of the day, Tomiyasu acted as a fake full-back and was seen receiving the ball near the center circle. He stands at the optimum point while watching the positioning of Thomas Partie and Martinelli. A large side change from a fixed position, a wide overlap from the outside. Inner wrap from high position. Switching between offense and defense, strong defense. He sometimes showed a scene of invading vitals and a highly accurate cross. Now, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is definitely the most intelligent player in Japan, or even top class in the world. * There is a mistake in the telop. (In the scene where the ball was stolen, it was Xhaka’s mistake, not Martinelli’s. Thank you for pointing that out.)
