Takehiro Tomiyasu Playing Style And Strength

Tomiyasu Takehiro is a very capable and calm defender who is known to be physically powerful, tactically smart, and flexible on any part of the backline. Regardless of whether as a central defence or on the flank, Tomiyasu provides defenders with his solid talents of tackling, positional play, and posing of air duels.
He is very cool under pressure and he is able to make important clearances and interceptions, thus usually defusing dangerous situations. His radar is good, can be accurate in possession and has a good range to his passing, sometimes helping to create chances of attack out of the back. His power to alternately use the short and long passes provides his game with a certain degree of versatility.
Although he continues performing well in defending, Tomiyasu may not play much in the attacking zone, and his ability to dribble through challenges is only decent in high areas. Frequent injury has on occasions interrupted his rhythm also, and maintained form has proved a challenge though his obvious talent and work rate will clearly continue.
