Rion Ichihara
"Japan bid farewell to the Under-20 World Cup.
Rion Ichihara, for me, the best defender of the tournament.
Won 100% of his aerial duels up to the match against France.
Very well positioned, great at building play too.
Ichihara impressed Liverpool's scouts"

Looks really good. Rare to see a CB who takes penalties for his team; this tells you something.
That he's good at taking pens?
That he has a level of confience and technique above what’s expected of a defensive player. Kind of like Van Dijk used to take free-kicks for Celtic.
I think you're reading too much into it.
David Luiz took pens. I guess he was alright.
David Luiz was like a Van Dijk on speed (and sometimes mushrooms). Physically and technically he was dominant, it’s the stuff between the ears that was his undoing.
That first one was not a tap in either!
I'd like to also laugh at them spending 20 mil on Vladimos or whoever but then we spent 450 mil and we're shite so it doesn't feel quite as funny
He turned down a big move last summer to stay at AZ, can't remember where

Joshua Zirkzee's impact for Man Utd, Elliot Anderson's Luka Modric stats and Boubacar Kamara feature in the Debrief
In this weeks edition of the Debrief, Adam Bate looks at Joshua Zirkzees surprise second-half impact to help Manchester United beat Crystal Palace. Plus: Elliot Andersons Luka Modric numbers and Boubacar Kamara shows he can do it all...
Anderson's Modric-like numbers
This column usually picks out three individual performances that contributed to their team achieving positive results but Elliot Anderson's efforts demand a rethink. Nottingham Forest were beaten 2-0 at home to Brighton but his stats were noteworthy.
Anderson created six chances in the game and completed six dribbles. No other Premier League player managed either feat over the weekend. The only player to hit both numbers in the same game so far this season is Arsenal's Bukayo Saka in October.
Unlike Saka, Anderson's 13 ball recoveries were also a Premier League high in a game in which the midfielder had 107 touches. This remarkable combination of the ability to win the ball, run with it and create, is vanishingly rare even at the elite level of the game.
Perhaps the context will make that clear. The last central midfield player to create so many chances in a Premier League game, while also hitting these numbers, not to mention intercepting and displaying a range of pass too, was Luka Modric in 2011.
Fourteen years have passed since that performance for Tottenham against Blackpool. Another similarity is that Spurs failed to win that day too. Even so, Anderson's numbers show why the in-demand England international is seen as someone who can do everything.
