On January 12, 65, after Chanathip Songkrasin made his debut with Kawasaki Frontale, the last two seasons of the J-League champion team. However, after the end of last season (J-League 2021), the new agency of “Messi J” released several key players of the team. One of them is Kaoru Mitoma, the attacking line number 18, which is the same shirt number Chanathip wore for Consadole Sapporo during his four-and-a-half year playing career.
Played 25 games (counting all trophies in all competitions), scoring 1 goal, 6 assists.
As for Kaoru Mitoma for the 2021 season.
Played 22 games (counting every cup in every competition), scoring 8 goals, 3 assists
The playing positions of the two are quite different because Chanathip will be playing the role of attacking midfielder for Sapporo while Mitoma will play as an offensive line along the line.
However, Chanathip Songkrasin’s shirt number is still a question of which number he will use. Because earlier, the 28-year-old shin still lingers on the matter. And just saying that it might be a round number or a number 18 is a possibility.
