Hiroki Abe, a young Japanese already at the top
He is 18 years old and already plays with great players. Hiroki Abe, a young Japanese attacker, plays for Kashima Antlers, finalist of the last Club World Cup against Real Madrid. If the Spanish side had a 4-2 victory against Asians in December 2016, these ones only lost during overtime. After arriving in the Kashima's group last February, Hiroki Abe will now play the Toulon Tournament with Japan. The left-winger, who already had the chance to play with best Asian players on a daily basis, will be able to meet the world's elite. A big chance for such a young player.
With 1m71 and 65kgs, Hiroki Abe embodies the archetype of the typical Asian player. Even if his physical capacities are not fantastic, the attacker was able to show his talent. Indeed, the very young player has already competed in two championship games. He also participated in the new campaign of Asian Champions League, playing more than half an hour in this continental competition. An experience that few players of his age have known. Hiroki Abe has a great advantage over the others participants of the tournament.
