Today, let's rank the best lineup from "Captain Tsubasa" in the Asian region.
Goalkeeper: Genzo Wakabayashi (Japan)
Genzo Wakabayashi is not only the strongest goalkeeper in Asia but also one of the best in the world. He possesses exceptional goalkeeping skills, excellent physical fitness, and even remarkable leadership abilities. When healthy, he is almost invincible. During his time with Hamburg, he was able to withstand the relentless attacks from Schneider, Shao Jun Guang, and Levin, known as the "Bayern Munich Trio." Perhaps the only thing that could hinder him is injury.
Defenders:
Right Back - Kojiro Hyuga (Japan): A versatile player and the defensive leader of the Japanese team. He first appeared in the elementary school chapter with the evaluation of "talent surpassing Tsubasa," then switched to playing as a defender during the World Youth Championship stage, and became a midfielder during the Olympic team period. He performed outstandingly against the Netherlands in the Olympics, once again earning the name "genius."
Center Back - Mark Lenders (Saudi Arabia): He is regarded as a free man surpassing Kojiro Hyuga and is one of the few defenders with significant character development in the series. He has been selected for the starting lineup of the World All-Star Football Team.
Center Back - Yoichi Takahashi (Japan): The biggest controversy for this position is between Thailand's Banpakok and China's Wu Junren.
Banpakok caused Japan a lot of trouble in the qualifiers, but he faced a weakened Japanese team at the time. After Kojiro Hyuga came on the field, Banpakok had no power to fight back, indicating average defensive capabilities.
Wu Junren of China is steady and had some bright moments against Japan, but in this lineup, we already have two strong defenders in Ovial and Kojiro Hyuga. We need to strengthen aerial defense, so I lean towards the tall and strong Yoichi Takahashi.
Yoichi Takahashi is known as the "giant defender." He is incredibly powerful, and his massive physique can exert great pressure on opponents. He often uses his physical advantage to block shots and has excellent aerial defense capabilities. In junior high school, he almost defeated "King" Tsubasa Ozora.
Left Back - Makoto Soda (Japan): Tsubasa Ozora's opponent in middle school, known as the "razor killer," his signature move is the razor shot. He has stable defense and can quickly launch attacks from the backfield. His unexpected "razor shots" and "razor passes" often contribute to victories, making him the ideal choice for a full-back.
Midfielders:
Defensive Midfielder - Shao Jun Guang (China): An all-around player who is the first to explicitly score from outside the box against Genzo Wakabayashi. He caused significant trouble for Tsubasa Ozora and others during the Asian qualifiers of the World Youth Championship. After transferring to Bayern Munich, he continued to perform impressively. In the match against Genzo Wakabayashi's Hamburg team, he passed the decisive ball in the final moments, assisting Schneider to turn defeat into victory.
Attacking Midfielder - Tsubasa Ozora (Japan): A six-sided warrior with no blind spots, possessing extraordinary mental strength. He can quickly incorporate others' signature moves into his own arsenal. Except for his first match against Minghe, he has remained undefeated since the manga's serialization began. (In short: King needs no explanation.)
Left Midfielder - Taro Misaki (Japan): Exceptional technical skills and high soccer IQ, with dribbling and passing abilities. He is Tsubasa Ozora's strongest support and one of the earliest Japanese youths to challenge Europe.
Right Midfielder - Kenichi Mizunuma (Japan): An tireless midfield engine who made a heroic entrance during the Asian qualifiers of the World Youth Championship. Aside from being slightly short, he has no significant weaknesses and is an all-purpose midfielder ready for action.
Forwards:
Right Forward - Kojiro Hyuga (Japan): Japan's top forward with tremendous shooting power and good heading skills. He can also serve as a focal point for offense. After going to Italy, he even trained his weaker left foot.
Left Forward - Cha Rintan (South Korea): Powerful physique capable of knocking opponents off their feet, with outstanding offensive abilities. He went to Europe to play football earlier than both Tsubasa Ozora and Kojiro Hyuga.
Of course, there are many other excellent players in "Captain Tsubasa," and everyone's understanding and choices for the "best lineup" may differ. The above is just my personal opinion.
