So advice from the old man confused him? Made him over think?

 

[EmperorBR]

Not necessarily overthinking. Ichijou is stepping out of his comfort zone, trying to be a bolder player so that he can become able to face the world stage. The problem is it tends to create mistakes at first, as he is not much used to dribbling since he came back. His skillset is more akin now to a central or attacking midfielder who controls the flow of the game.

Tomosaka's advice for him to play at his strenghs first is probably to use his game reading more effectively to combine with his needed aggressiveness. Maybe he will drop just a little to the Number 10 spot and start his dribbling from a little deeper position, linking with Tomosaka and maybe using one-twos with Mako as a pivot. We will probably see something kinda like Kaká's darting runs with the ball.

Exactly, I don't understand why is he still playing FW or ST. He could be really good, a bit like De Bruyne, at the midelfield. Or even like Zidane.

Aiko is so cute.
Thanks for the translation,

Responding to Alexvinssi: Because playing as a second striker is a incentive to make him work on his dribbling, as well as being more aggressive and bold. He has lots of potential, and the youth level is the perfect time to make adjustments to your game. Adding aggressive runs and dribbling into his playstyle will make him a even more dangerous player, much like Zico, who besides being a superb reader of the game, was also a extremely prolific goalscorer (he still is the greatest goalscorer in the history of Maracanã Stadium, even if he was a midfielder).
