Ayumu Seko, a 20-year-old defender from Cerezo Osaka, was selected for the "Best Young Player Award" given to the youngest players in the J-League soccer season this season.
Seko is 20 years old from Osaka prefecture.
With an unbeatable physique and speed of 1 meter and 83 centimeters, he played in 27 games as a center back at Cerezo, about twice as much as last season.
Cerezo, who worked on defensive tactics this season, finished in 4th place with the second fewest goals in the league, partly due to Seko's success.
Seko met online and said, "I'm very honored. I was honestly happy when I was selected because it was the award I was aiming for. I made a mistake in one game because the schedule was overcrowded due to the influence of the new coronavirus this season. However, I was glad that I was able to correct my mistakes immediately after the next match in about two days. I was able to judge the situation and grew up. "
