The national team is calling? Kaoru Sanji was voted the best of the game by the fans with a very high number of votes

Japanese midfielder Kaoru Mitsuru of St. Gilos of Belgium scored his first league goal and scored a hat-trick in the team's home match against Seleine. With the home side trailing by two goals in the first half and one person being sent off, he came off the bench in the second half and, with his excellent dribbling and scoring ability, became a hero to the victory and won the best player award selected by the fans.

Just 45 minutes was enough for the three to score three goals. Receiving a pass from the left in the 55th minute of the game with his team trailing by two goals, he scored his first goal in the far corner of the goal with his right foot in the penalty area. In the 76th minute of the match after the score came to 2-2, he received a second goal from his teammates in the penalty area, and the third goal that best reflected the characteristics of the three-fold ball had to be achieved.

From the counter-attack, he received a teammate's point near the half and began to press forward with the dribbling he was good at. He slashed diagonally from the left to the right side of the penalty area and hit the ball with his right foot into the back corner of the goal while falling to the ground.

The reverse was won, and the fans in the stands were also excited, and they did not stop cheering after the game, and the three poles also jumped excitedly to celebrate the victory with the fans. On the official website of the Belgian League, he was voted the best player of the game by the fans with a very high vote rate of 88%.

The five league games so far have not started, and Saint-Giros coach Mazull said the three were still in a period of adaptation to Belgian football and language. Matsu also coached Junya Ito, who was also a Japanese player, when he was in Genk: "Mitsuru is a great player, and his ability has helped the team a lot. (including Jun Ito) Their Japanese players never complained and always maintained a positive attitude. Mitsuru did not complain about dissatisfaction when he did not get the opportunity to play, and always actively waited for the opportunity to come. ”

There is no doubt that after such a good performance, Mitsuru's chances of playing as a starter in the future will definitely increase. If he can continue to score in the Belgian league, he will also be happy for the Premier League side Brighton, who owns three floggings, and it is also great news for the Japanese national team, which is currently weak.

Regarding the case of Japanese players playing hat-tricks in Europe's major top leagues, Shunsuke Nakamura had previously played for the Celtics once in 2006 and 2009. Naoya Kogen, who played for Frankfurt in the Bundesliga in 2006, also had one. This was followed by Shinji Kagawa in 2013 for Manchester United, Yoshiki Muto in Mainz in 2015, Takumi Minamino in Salzburg, Austria in 2017, Yuta Toyokawa in Auburn, Belgium in 2018, Takuma Asano in Partisan Belgrade in 2020 and Henmo Furuhashi at Celtic this year, all of whom have hat-tricks in European top leagues.
