I think his dream of being the best striker in the world somehow got crushed and he found himself devastated and as many people have also theorised I think he faced lots of racism and was not allowed to shine because he is Japanese and they didn’t take him seriously. However he discover his talent as a midfielder and how no one could crush him in that position so his dream got once again hope but instead of striker as midfielder. I love sae so I’m really curious about his circumstances and looking forward to his arc
