	Kashima Antlers: Atsushi Yanagisawa
		One possible reason for Yanagisawa's reputation as a poor scorer is the fact that he seems to prefer passing the ball to taking the shot himself.
		Despite his reputation as a poor finisher, Yanagisawa's total goal tally, and even his percentages of goals per match and goals per shot, are numbers that most strikers in the J.League would be proud to have on their record.
		Yanagisawa got his first chance to play in Europe in July 2003, when Sampdoria picked him up from the Antlers on a one year loan.

	Football \| No15: Atsushi Yanagisawa, Japan
		Yanagisawa's authority in the air blows away the stereotypical image of the small Japanese footballer, but that doesn't mean he's not a handful on the deck as well.
		Atsushi can put them away clinically with both feet, and his passing and link-up play is second to none.
		Not that Yanagisawa feels too flattered; the current Japanese sports writers' Footballer of the Year has decided to stay put at his club, Kashima Antlers, to "raise the standard of the J League".

		Hidetoshi Nakata, Shunsuke Nakamura and Hiroshi Nanami all failed to pull up any trees while playing in Serie A. Today only Messina’s Atsushi Yanagisawa remains and is hoping to show the island side that its faith in the Japanese international is not misplaced.

		Sadly, Yanagisawa failed to make much of an impression at the Marassi yet Messina obviously saw something in him and offered him a two-year deal.

		Atsushi Yanagisawa gave the Japanese an early lead before playmaker Zinha’s exquisite equaliser, with Jose Fonseca bagging the second half winner to put Ricardo Lavolpe’s side temporarily top of Group B before Thursday’s late match between Brazil and Greece.
		And the FC Tokyo player was soon instrumental in putting Japan ahead when in the 12th minute he burst down the right flank, crossing to the waiting Yanagisawa who deftly flicked the ball with his backheel past keeper Oswaldo.
		Mexico levelled in the 39th minute when a high ball fell to Zinha outside the area and with the Japanese defence asleep the Brazil-born midfielder had what seemed an eternity before lobbing it into the top right hand corner well out of reach of Kawaguchi’s grasping hands.
