Players to watch in 2012

FIFA.comが今年注目の若手選手をピックアップしています。その中に日本人選手が選ばれているので，ご紹介します。長友といい，酒井といい，日本人が世界で注目されることはとても喜ばしいことですね。

Hiroki Sakai
Defender, 21, Kashiwa Reysol
Voted J.League Rookie of the Year for 2011, this marauding right-back strengthened his burgeoning reputation with a string of superb showings in last month’s FIFA Club World Cup. Comparisons to Dani Alves may be premature, but international recognition and growing interest from abroad are inevitable and fully merited.
