Regarding Yuzuki Yamamoto's departure from the team https://www.verdy.co.jp/beleza/news/14691 We would like to inform you that Yamamoto Yuzuki will be leaving the team to prepare for a possible transfer overseas. Player comments will be announced once their transfer destination is decided.
Mynavi rookies: https://www.nikkansports.com/soccer/photonews/photonews_nsInc_202602100001629-0.html Shinoda (from Nittaidai), Tsuda, Iwaki, Kikuchi, Matsui (from Shohei high) I don't know about Iwaki, but the other four players have some distinctive strong points.
Uno Shirogaki is leaving Cerezo Osaka for an overseas club. #白垣うの 選手が海外クラブへの移籍を前提とした準備のため、チームを離脱することになりました。今後につきましては、現地でのメディカルチェックを経て正式契約を結ぶ予定となりますので、契約締結後に改めてお知らせいたします。#セレッソ大阪ヤンマーレディース#セレッソ大阪 pic.twitter.com/P0vmr8xuAF— セレッソ大阪ヤンマーレディース (@cerezo_ladies) February 11, 2026
Yamamoto in defence... I wonder if this means she will also switch to playing as a defender/defensive midfielder at her new club.
Hijikata? Really? I don't watch WSL, I don't care for it, but I was under the impression she barely played or had any impact. Edit Apparently injured at some point. Make sense. Ignore this.
Yui Narumiya has always been a favourite of mine, so I am happy she's given another chance (also she's part of a little contingent of WE League's players ). Risa Shimizu is back; I don't follow regularly FA-WSL either; does she play regularly? Is she back at her previous form? I am just reading the list while quite in a hurry: any relevant missing names?
I think she has yet to really prove herself, but I am not surprised she was chosen. For whatever reason people seem to really rate her. Maybe I am not a good judge of talent because I think Hamano is overrated. Only three players from the NWSL I thought they might have rolled the dice with Jun Endo, or maybe given Koyama a chance. Koyama has really improved over the last season.
If I have to complain about two things, it's to still have Yamamoto considered as a DF. I know FB/WB in the modern game are invited to push high up the pitch constantly, but it's not the same freedom as a winger you encourage to have 1v1s. Yamamoto is one of these rare Japanese players that can take on players and create a dangerous situation from nothing. Kinda like Jun Endo, since you mention her. This kind of ability can be precious to unsettle low blocks. Gonna be missed at Beleza in the AWCL. The second one is not to give another chance to Riko Yoshida. She was among the few players that showed encouraging performances in the E-1 Championship despite the unfavorable context this group was put in. I know her performance against Canada was iffy at best, but that it is enough to scratch her off for an Asian Cup is disappointing (especially considering other players had the chance to continuously put in bad performances with the NT). She could have settled in the group and gain some confidence in easier games during the group stage is a missed opportunity. Like you, I don't particularly see why Hijikata is so highly rated. I can't see what she can bring to this group that other FWs don't already bring, including their weaker points (low goalscoring impact in important games). Anyway, I was never really going to get satisfied by the group given my dislike of the manager, so having only two major complaints is a progress, I guess.
She's a regular starter, played 356 minutes in last 4 matches. No goals yet though. Regular starter since injury break, 262 minutes in last 3 matches. Interestingly, so is omitted Yuka Momiki with 360 minutes, 2 goals and assist in last 4 matches for Everton (and being one of the best players in last triumphant Nadeshiko's int'l tournament which was 2025 She Believes Cup).
When I'm looking at this roster packed up to the roof with world class midfielders, I feel both pride and fear how on earth Miharu is supposed to break through into this dream team.
Hijikata, Shimizu, Chiba ? I know Hijikata and Shimizu are playing regularly but do they have a real impact for their respective teams or back at their expected or previous forms? Chiba, does she play for Frankfurt ? It seems that she's more a sub than a regular in the starting 11. Considering their performances in the last few months, I would rather had Momiki, Yoshida and Koyama.
I think both Hijikata (1,65m) and Chiba (1,62m) were chosen because of their physical presence and experience playing against tall players on daily basis. Koyama (1,60m) has that experience, but she lacks height while Yoshida (1,65m) is the opposite. Narumiya over Momiki is more of a puzzling move. I guess Nielsen wants to show some love for WE League... but ultimatelly it makes little impact because the message under his tenure is already clear: one needs to leave Japan to get on the fastrack into NT. Shimizu is slowly starting to look like her former self, not a 100% of her top form yet, but she's getting better with each match.
Nadeshiko's MFs are really good, but I want different kinds of players, especially defencively strong ones like Endo Wataru or Sano Kaishu in Samurai Blue at least one, for example Yanase, Tsunoda or Watanabe Mai.

Momoko Tanikawa played whole fantastic match and scored nice goal for Bayern at Jena. Her highlights look like some FIFA cheat mode gameplay - every touch, decision and execution looks too perfect!
