Yuzawa is a younger player (probably recently promoted from youth/feeder affiliate club with only 2-3 years of pro experience ) . He has good creativity and goalkeeping vision but questionable consistency,
even the GK coach refer to him as a "Goalkeeper version of Natsuki".
I guess it's logical that the manager would favor a more consistent veteran (sano) and former national team player (Midorikawa).
I guess after a few more years he'll get better.
