No, you're misreading the panel. Katou doesn't make contact with Kazama at all--he literally intercepts the ball and kicks it into Kazama, as hard as he can, so it bounces out of bounds and gives possession to Ryozan.
@Cynic The other CB, Seto, has been playing really well and has been named a few times. The goalkeeper, Gou, has also played unreasonably well. No. 6 Nakamoto came in as the LB and has bombed forward a bunch too. Don't remember the names of the forwards but if you have such a strong backline, an amazing mid and a marauding full back, then who needs forwards anyway
