Toda, now a sports analyst, shared his thoughts on Takai's abilities. "Kota Takai is a talented young player who has quickly risen through the ranks at Kawasaki Frontale. At 20 years old, he has already gained significant experience as a professional footballer," he said.

Takai's physical attributes make him a strong candidate for a centre-back position. He is 190 centimetres tall, right-footed, but also comfortable using his left foot. He excels at carrying the ball, dribbling, and passing, showcasing his versatility on the field. Takai can also play as a left centre-back and is skilled in the air.

Toda believes Takai has the potential to become a top-level centre-back. He will learn from experienced players like Cristian Romero and gain valuable insights from Tottenham's coach, Thomas Frank. Toda is confident that with time and experience, Takai will adapt and improve, unlocking his full potential.
