[edit] Club Career
He is a no-nonsense physical player and was nicknamed the 'Japanese Blond Bomber' after his blond-dyed hair (the original blond bomber was legendary German striker Jürgen Klinsmann).
Takayuki Suzuki had not scored for 1790 minutes/46 games consecutive, until he scored a couple of goals in a 11/4/06 Serbian Cup game against Radnički Niš as Red Star rolled to an easy 5-0 road victory.
However, Suzuki's time in Serbia was a disappointment and his move back to J-League to join Yokohama F. Marinos was announced on January 19, 2007.[1]
On 28 March 2008 it was revealed that he signed an one-year contract with United States' club Portland Timbers (USL), joining on a free transfer.[2]
[edit] International Career
He played all four games at the 2002 World Cup, starting the first three and scoring in the 2-2 tie against Belgium.
[edit] Playing Style
Takayuki Suzuki's playing style is different compared to other forwards and strikers. He is well known for his defensive pressure on other defenders to force them to make mistakes.
