hey guys first post on here (finally found a board where i can talk about my fave japanese football players ) it sucks VVV went down cause i dont get to see Otsu anymore btw anyone know if he got selected for the japan squad this week???
He had a preconvocation by Zac but nothing more. I'm a Otsu fan too, hope we will see him in Eredivisie as soon as possible!
There's still a good possibility depending on the playing time he gets. At this stage of the Eerste Divisie season, Honda had just as many goals as Otsu does now
Maybe if he can get some goal-scoring form at VVV, he could at least get a spot coming on from the bench. Since the Confederations Cup, it's not like all JNT spots are guaranteed or anything right?
The CAM and Winger positions are the only positions that does not lack in depth. Honda, Kagawa, Kiyotake, Inui, Okazaki, Kakitani, and so on... It's going to be a huge task.
We do lack depth in CB and CF, but otherwise it's not about "depth", it's about who raises the overall quality. That said Otsu will surely take some time to get there.
Would be great if he does, but I doubt he would get there. He just hasn't impressed after the Olympics. I hope I am proven wrong about Otsu.
2 consecutive starts and 2 consecutive games with goals, and a winning one at that. Why on Earth did they bench him before?
Last time he was preconvocated. If he continues this way till november he will called up. Against Netherlands... He should not even move from where he lives

VVV now are second in Jupiler League after winning against FC Eindhoven today. Otsu didn't play due to injury.
