Football Tribe’s Asia XI – October 2017

DF: Matej Jonjic (Cerezo Osaka)

The Croatian has adjusted well to the J1 League in his first season, missing just 30 minutes of play thus far for rapidly-surging Cerezo. Matic’s strength on the back line not only helped the team earn full points from three league fixtures as they hunt for an ACL spot, but also contributed to a memorable Osaka Derby win over crosstown rivals Gamba in the Levain Cup, helping the Yanmar Stadium residents reach their first cup final.
