Announcement of Isa SAKAMOTO as the winner of the April "Young Player of the Month" award in the 2024 Meiji Yasuda J1 League
We are pleased to announce that Issai Sakamoto has been selected as the April winner of the Meiji Yasuda J.LEAGUE Young Player of the Month Award, which is given to a player under the age of 21 who has made an impressive performance in the Meiji Isa SAKAMOTO J.LEAGUE each month and is expected to achieve even greater success in the future.
<Reasons for selection>
Committee member Masakuni Yamamoto: "He's a smart player with the ability to get away from his marker, the ability to act as a third player, the ability to see ahead, and a high level of awareness of what's behind the DF line. He has a good sense for soccer and can read the ball ahead. He's also good at one-touch shots."
Committee member Satoshi Hojo: "Once he won a place in the starting lineup, he went on a rampage in three consecutive games. His keen nose for reading where the ball was going, and his calmness and technique in easily shooting the ball into the net were on full display."
Special Committee Member Karina Maruyama: "Three goals this month. When she has the ball, she has a good attitude of attacking aggressively, and that is translating into results."
<Comment from Isa SAKAMOTO>
"I am really happy to have been selected as the Young Player of the Month for April. I was able to play in many games in April, and I especially remember my goal against Urawa Reds at Saitama Stadium. So many supporters came to Urawa and I was happy to score the winning goal in front of everyone. I believe I was able to receive this award not only through my own efforts, but also thanks to all the supporters who cheer me on. I would appreciate your continued support. I am very happy to receive this award, but I am not satisfied with it and will continue to work hard so that I can receive another award like this in the future."
