Takashi Inui (乾 貴士, Inui Takashi?, born June 2, 1988) is a Japanese football player who currently plays for the 2. Bundesliga team VfL Bochum.[1] He is a midfielder who controls attacks by sharp dribbles and through passes to fatal spots. He has a brilliant sense of attacking and scoring, often with unpredictable shots.
Club career
Inui was a member of the Japan U21. He was the All Japan High School Soccer Tournament Letterwinner in 2006 when his High School, Shiga Yasu HS, won the tournament.[2]
In 2007, Inui joined Yokohama F. Marinos of the J. League Division 1 and he made his debut as a professional against Yokohama F.C. in a league match on 10 March. However, he failed to find a regular spot at Marinos and then was loaned to second division side Cerezo Osaka in June 2008, earning himself a permanent move at the end of the season[3].
In July 2011, Inui made the jump to Europe, joining Germany's VfL Bochum.[4] He made his debut in the 2. Bundesliga, when he started in a 1-2 home defeat versus FC St. Pauli on 13 August 2011.
International career
Inui made his full international debut for Japan on January 20, 2009 in a 2011 AFC Asian Cup qualification against Yemen.[5]
