For Japanese winger Kaoru Mikasa, although the season is not over, it must have been a failure. Too many injuries have left him out of many games, and his role at Brighton has been far less than that of last season. While De Zerbi and his supporters were still encouraging and waiting for him, a new back problem forced him to stop again
The coach said helplessly at the press conference, ".Maybe this season, the opportunity to use Kaoru Mikasa has been lost
You know, this "new beginning" has only lasted for a month. He was still recuperating before the Asian Cup, and he did not announce his return until he returned to England. As we all know, the back injury is an old injury, although it is not as fatal as the knee and ligaments, but the potential restraining effect it can bring is still very strong, and many people have pinched the sweat for him.
Of course, when it comes to the Asian Cup, Kaoru Mikasa is naturally regretful and helpless. Before his comeback, the Japanese team stumbled and played poorly in the group stage; After his comeback, although the breakthrough is still sharp, the ability to create opportunities is still unmatched. However, the Blue Samurai fell at the door of the semifinals and failed to achieve the goal of "mentoring" with the Taiji Tiger. You must know that Kaoru Mikasa played with an injury, so when calculated, it is really not "worthwhile".
What's even more irritating is that whenever it comes to the "teacher" with Taiji Tiger, people will always say that it is the reunion of Jiu Yiying and Li Gangren, and they will also arrange the name of the Asian newcomer Wang on this very close and recognized little brother. Kaoru Mikasa is a little embarrassed, although he seems to have a chance compared to Sun Xingmin, but he is still unhappy when he is shocked by the latecomers. This corresponds to the regret that the author talked about at the beginning:
For Kaoru Mikasa, the injury must have been very disappointing; Even more disappointing is his age. This is only his second season in Europe, and if it's only a year, it doesn't hurt to spend a lot of time on his way to surprise; The key problem is that he was already 25 years old when he landed in Europe, and it is strange to hear that he suffered an "old injury" as a "freshman" at that age
De Zerbi knew what kind of disappointment and dissatisfaction this would bring to Kaoru Mikasa, so he tried his best to defend his ** when he spoke, saying a lot of kind words and encouraging compliments for him. However, the success and defeat of competitive sports, Kaoru Mikasa fell, and Kaoru Kaoru "Five" Kaoru will appear soon, and Kaoru "Nine" Kaoru must also be inflated in ambition. In this way, the pressure will inevitably be greater. Moreover, this season is a turning point for him, thinking of doing well in the Asian Cup, maintaining efficiency in the Premier League, and then moving to the giants. Now that I see it, the opportunities are all gone.
The data of 3 goals and 5 assists in 26 games is not too convincing, and even Guardiola, who recognizes him very much, is estimated to be difficult to convince the bosses to buy him. Continuing to stay at a club at Brighton's level is not a good option for the aged Kaoru Mikasa. Unless, to be as lucky as Trossard
Of course, for Kaoru Mikasa, who majored in football and has a university diploma, there is no need to be too pessimistic, after all, he is still at the age of retirement. However, Brighton's tomorrow may really not be up to him, if in the case of losing him, it is difficult for the team to qualify for next season's European competition, and De Zerbi leaves, then what the boss will think, what the new manager will arrange, I don't know at all.
