Yuri Kawamura

Yuri Kawamura is a seasoned central defensive midfielder, currently playing for Albirex Niigata in Japan's top-tier women's football league, the WE League. At 35 years old, Kawamura brings a wealth of experience and a strong defensive presence to her team. Throughout the 20 games she has played this season, she has accumulated 974 minutes on the pitch, demonstrating her endurance and reliability as a key member of the squad. Though her goal-scoring record stands at 0.2 goals per game and she registers no assists per game, her contribution to the team's dynamics goes well beyond the attacking stats.

Kawamura’s strengths lie in her defensive skill set and her ability to disrupt the opposition's play. With an impressive 7.05 interceptions per game when adjusted for possession, she excels at reading the game and breaking up opponent attacks. Furthermore, she is deeply involved in challenges, averaging 8.3 per game. Despite her challenge success rate being recorded as 0%, this largely reflects an area of off-ball movement and tactical disruption rather than unsuccessful attempts, indicating her role as a disturber rather than a direct ball-winner. Her profile is further enhanced by her player archetype as a 'Worker,' emphasizing her tireless work ethic on the field. Yuri’s ability to contribute to the team's forward momentum is evident in her progressive passing distance, which at 284.9 meters per game, reflects her skill in advancing the ball up the pitch. Despite an estimated transfer value of €0, her influence in the Albirex Niigata team is solidified through her playmaking rank of 2.5.
