Output in context · Kashiwa Reysol finished 2nd of 20 · a title-challenging side
2.69 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 9 clean sheets across 21 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (2nd of 20) the side controls more games, so the defensive load is lighter — the value sits as much in composure and ball progression as in raw volume. Going forward he chipped in 3 goals and 4 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.38 goal involvements per 90, useful for a defensive midfielder.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 48.9% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
Outlook
With a Rating of 54.8, Nakagawa carries the 1st-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the J1 League (top 3%). Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.69 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
