Unexpected…”Japanese winger, Brighton’s most important player”

Kaoru Mitoma is currently the brightest resource in Brighton and Hove Albion.

Brighton’s performance is impressive. At the beginning of the season, Brighton, who suffered an unprecedented situation when manager Graham Porter went to Chelsea, maintained their performance by reorganizing well under manager Roberto De Gerbi. While playing 17 matches in the English Premier League (EPL), they are in 8th place with 27 points. Depending on the results of future matches, it is Brighton that can climb up to 6th place.

In the center was Mitoma. Mitoma gained experience through Kawasaki Frontale (Japan) and Royal Union (Belgium). He played in the Brighton first team in earnest from this season 안전놀이터. In the early days, he played as a bench resource. He played as a top-notch joker with his quick feet and dribbling ability. He gradually became a starter. He rose to the forefront of the Brighton attack while raging against Chelsea and Arsenal.

With Mitoma, Brighton’s offensive destructive power was revived. He is very good at breaking through, so it was useful in counterattack situations, when holding the lead, and when cracking the opponent’s defense. Recently, even his scoring ability has been revived. He scored consecutive goals against Arsenal and Everton to reach 3 goals in the league. Looking at the score against Everton, Son Heung-min came to mind. Brighton fans are praising him for his crazy performance.

On the 7th (Korean time), soccer statistics media ‘WhoScored.com’ said, “Mitoma was involved in 4 goals in 5 games as a starter. The goal conversion rate is also very high at 30%, and the number of dribbles per 90 minutes is 2.2. This is in the EPL. He is the third player to have played in more than 10 games. Having a winger like this is a blessing to the team. It is to Mitoma’s credit that Brighton can manage without losing.”

He continued, “It’s not just the offense. The defense is also good. The number of tackles per game is 2.5. This is higher than Fabinho, Jorginho, and Declan Rice. It seems to be another reason for gaining trust from coach De Jervi. Few predicted before the season that he would solidify his position at Brighton, and now Mitoma has become the most important player for Brighton in the second half.”
