Unfortunately, Yuma Suzuki did not score in the two-legged match and was substituted for injury in the 77th minute of the second leg.

However, the injury did not erase his performance, and after winning the AFC Champions League, Yuma Suzuki was named the best player in the AFC Champions League that year.

But the threat of the first division is a problem player

The AFC Champions League final became Suzuki Yuma's last match for Kashima, and after six months of recovering from injury, he officially moved to St. Turdon in the summer of 2019. After going to Belgium, he was placed in several positions, starting from the bench, trying out centre-forward, right winger, left winger, and scoring seven goals in 24 appearances throughout the season. What really made him bloom was the 2020-2021 season, Suzuki Yuma sat firmly in the main center position, scoring goals from the beginning of the season, playing a total of 17 goals in 34 league games, which is not only his most personal goal season, but also a rare glamorous performance of Japanese top scorers in the Europa League in recent years.

In October 2020, Japan plans to play two warm-up matches in the Netherlands against Cameroon and Côte d'Ivoire. Because of the epidemic, the list of Japanese team training at that time was all from the European League, and Yuma Suzuki, whose status soared after the start of the season, is very much looking forward to being selected for the big list. However, the so-called higher expectations, the greater the disappointment, and after the list was announced, Suzuki Yuma was not selected.

At that time, most fans were very supportive of Yuma Suzuki, believing that he would become the first choice of the Japanese team in the center position of Masamune after Ōtsuki. Mori Hoichi did not recruit him, which disappointed many fans, and naturally there were many posts on the Internet in support of him. Interestingly, it was found that Yuma Suzuki gave a tweet of thumbs-ups speculating that the reason for the player's failure to make the squad was a feud with the manager. A stone stirs up a thousand waves, which is tantamount to making one's dissatisfaction with the manager public.

In essence, a week before this incident, Yuma Suzuki posted a series of meaningful statements on his personal social media, and the words were very exciting- "You want to see Lao Tzu in a hurry, right?" You're a fart! "If you have the ability, don't call me!" ”。 Soon, the players removed the over-the-top remarks, but Suzuki liked it in a tweet asking if the target was Coach Moriho. This practice of no silver three hundred taels here makes the outside world more convinced that there must be a contradiction between him and the coach.

For the rest of the season, although Yuma Suzuki continued his excellent form, Moriboichi never gave him a chance. As a result, the early-established and talented former AFC Champions League MVP has not played a single game for Japan to this day. At the end of last season, Suzuki Yuma moved his mind on the transfer again, and there was a gap between him and The San Turden Club, which made him excluded from the big list for six consecutive rounds in the opening stage of the season, coupled with injuries, he played a total of 11 games in half a season, with only 2 goals scored. Knowing that he had no future in the team, he decided to return to his old club Kashima in the winter.

Returning debut was denounced

In the first round of the J-League, Kashima's away match against Gamba Osaka went through the 37th minute, and there was a dispute on the field. Yuma Suzuki was in a scramble with rival foreign defender Patrick, who was shown a red card by the referee on duty for a foul. After the game, the foreign defender was very aggrieved, but still publicly apologized to his teammates and fans, saying that the team lost the game because of his uncool behavior. But soon, fans found that before Patrick "fouled" Suzuki Yumo, the latter had an obvious sitting on the ground and pulling the opponent's thigh, and this action escaped the referee's eyes, coupled with Suzuki's exaggerated performance, which led to Patrick's red card.

After this incident, unlike the events of more than a year ago, public opinion no longer supported Yuma Suzuki, but criticized him, believing that his ball was too poor. Coupled with the past angry boss and various bad deeds of conflicts between the club, Suzuki Yuma's image in the eyes of fans has fallen to the bottom. Although he scored on his debut back to Kashima, it did not help to change people's perception of him.

Character determines destiny, and the 25-year-old Yuma Suzuki is in the ascendancy of his career, and it may be time to seriously think about his own problems.
