Yui Hasegawa (長谷川 唯, Hasegawa Yui, born January 29, 1997) is a Japanese professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for Women's Super League club Manchester City and the Japan national team. Considered as one of the best defensive midfielders in the world,[3][4][5] she has the versatility to operate across the midfield in both offensive and defensive positions.

Born in Sendai, Miyagi Prefecture and brought up in Toda, Saitama,[6] Hasegawa played youth football with Tokyo Verdy Beleza before she began her career with the senior team in 2013. In 2021, Hasegawa joined AC Milan[7] before moving to West Ham United[8] at the end of 2020-21 Serie A season. She joined Manchester City in the summer of 2022 after spending one season with West Ham United.[9]

A full international since 2017, Hasegawa has represented Japan in the 2019 and 2023 FIFA World Cup, the 2020 and 2024 Olympics, as well as the 2018 and 2022 AFC Asian Cup. As of August 2024, she had scored 18 goals in 86 appearances for Japan.[10]

Early life

[edit]

Hasegawa was born in Sendai, Miyagi Prefecture on January 29, 1997.[11][12] She subsequently moved to Toda, Saitama with her family during her childhood. She attended high school at Meguro Nihon University Junior High and High School. She graduated from Nihon University in 2019.[13]

Hasegawa began playing football in kindergarten at the age of six under the influence of her older brothers, and initially played amongst boys before joining a girls' football club around the age of nine.[6] In 2009, aged 11, she was accepted into Menina, the nation's top youth academy of the club she would later play for, Tokyo Verdy Beleza. Over a four-year period from 2011 to 2014, she was a central figure behind Menina's successive titles at the JFA U-18 All Japan Youth Women's Football Tournaments.[14] While at the academy, she befriended and rose through the ranks with fellow players such as Risa Shimizu and Yuka Momiki, all of whom would go on play for the Japan national team together.[15]

Club career

[edit]

Tokyo Verdy Beleza

Having progressed through the youth set-up of Tokyo Verdy Beleza, Hasegawa was promoted to the senior team in 2013. She made her Nadeshiko League debut on March 23, 2013, as a sixteen-year-old, against FC Kibi IU Charme.[16] Despite her young age and relative inexperience in the first team, she quickly established herself as a regular starter in midfield, amongst other more accomplished senior teammates in the Japan national team at the time.

The 2015 season proved to be a breakout year for her in senior football. She scored her first league goal in the Nadeshiko League against Iga FC Kunoichi on September 23, 2015,[17] and played a key part in leading the team to win the championship that year, ending a five-year drought for the domestic title.[18] Hasegawa's time with the club coincided with one of the most successful periods for the club. During her eight seasons with Beleza, she won multiple trophies with Beleza; including five successive league titles, five Empress's Cup, three League Cup, and the inaugural AFC Women's Club Championship. She won the domestic triple crown twice with Beleza, having done so consecutively in the 2018 and 2019 season.

Hasegawa was first selected to the Nadeshiko League Best XI in the 2017 season. She would repeated that feat again in 2018, 2019, and 2020, until she left Japan to play overseas in 2021.[19]

At the age of 21, she reached the milestone of 100 league appearances for Beleza on May 3, 2018, in a scoreless draw against Nojima Stella Kanagawa.[20] In total, she made 217 appearances and scored 40 goals for the club .

AC Milan

[edit]

On January 29, 2021, it was announced that Hasegawa would join Serie A Femminile club AC Milan.[7] She netted a brace in her competitive debut for Milan in a 6–1 victory over Pink Bari on February 27, 2021, including one direct free-kick [21] She was also awarded Player of the Match in that game.[22] In half a season in Italy, Hasegawa helped AC Milan finish runner-up in the league to qualify for the UEFA Women's Champions League 1st round and reached the 2020-21 Coppa Italia final. In total, she featured in nine games and scored three goals for the club.[23]

West Ham United

[edit]

In August 2021, Hasegawa signed a two-year contract with English side West Ham United.[8] She scored her first goal for the club's first ever victory over Manchester City in the Women's Super League, assisting the first and scoring the second in their 2–0 win on October 3, 2021.[24] She scored again for West Ham in a 2–1 victory over Reading on April 24, 2022.[25] Both of these goals from Hasegawa won the WSL Goal of the Month awards, with the latter being nominated for the league's Goal of the Season as well.[26] In her first season with the Hammers, Hasegawa helped West Ham achieve sixth-place, their best ever finish in the league thus far, and reached the Women's FA Cup semi-finals.

Manchester City

[edit]

On September 8, 2022, Hasegawa signed a three-year deal with fellow Women's Super League side Manchester City.[27][9] Her arrival at the club coincided with a mass squad turnover, which saw the departure of several key players through transfers and retirements.[28] While at Manchester City, she began playing as a defensive midfielder under manager Gareth Taylor, filling the gap left behind by Keira Walsh following her departure to FC Barcelona.[29] Hasegawa quickly established herself as a key player in the starting line-up as she helped spark a 16-game unbeaten run in all competitions since joining the club.[30] She scored her first goal for the club in their 4–0 win against Leicester City on October 16, 2022.[31][32] A string of good performances in January 2023 saw her nominated for January's WSL Player of the Month award.[33] She would end her season playing the third most minutes in the league for Manchester City (1,783), only behind Khadija Shaw and Alex Greenwood. In a her first season with the club, Hasegawa helped Manchester City finish fourth in the league, as well as reaching the semi-finals of the FA Women's League Cup. She was named in the 2022/23 PFA WSL Team of the Year at the end of the season.[34] On September 7, she was nominated as one of 30 candidates for the Ballon d'Or Féminin.[35]

Hasegawa retained her place in the starting eleven in the 2023–24 season, playing in all but one game in all competition for Manchester City.[36] She played a crucial role in the team's season performance as they finished 2nd in the league, which includes a record breaking 13 successive win in the league.[37] She would score her only goal of the season in a 1–0 quarterfinals win over Tottenham Hotspur in the FA Women's League Cup.[38] On January 23, 2023, Hasegawa signed a contract extension that keeps her at Manchester City until 2027.[39] She was shortlisted for the 2023/24 PFA Player of the Year award and named in the 2023/24 PFA WSL Team of the Year at the end of the season for her season performance.[40][41] On September 4, 2024, she was nominated again as one of 30 candidates for the Ballon d'Or Féminin.[42]

International career

[edit]

Youth

[edit]

Hasegawa has been featured throughout all youth levels of the Japan national team set-up, since she was first called up to the U-17 national team in 2011 at the age of 14.

She began her international career as a 15-year-old at the 2012 FIFA U-17 Women's World Cup in Azerbaijan, where she started in two matches against Brazil in the group stage and Ghana in the quarter-final. Japan were knocked out in the 1–0 quarter-final defeat, and Hasegawa ended her first international tournament with 2 goals, from a brace against New Zealand.[43]

The following year, her development was accelerated yet again as she was called up to the U-20 national team to participate in the 2013 AFC U-19 Women's Championship despite still being 16.

As the U-20 squad had failed to qualify for the 2014 FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup that year, Hasegawa returned to her original age group to play in the 2014 FIFA U-17 Women's World Cup in Costa Rica. She started all six matches in Japan's remarkable run that saw them emerge as the champions.[44] A cornerstone of Japan's attack, she scored three goals against Paraguay, New Zealand and Mexico, as she went on to receive the individual honour of the adidas Silver Ball – the second best player of the tournament – behind teammate Hina Sugita who won the Golden Ball.[45]

Senior

[edit]

On March 1, 2017, Hasegawa won her first senior cap for the Japan women's national team when she made her debut as a half-time substitute against Spain at the 2017 Algarve Cup.[46] In the following match, she scored her first international goals at senior level, netting twice in Japan's 2–0 win over Iceland.[47][48]

She was also part of Japan's squad as they defended their Asian Cup title, during the 2018 AFC Women's Asian Cup in Jordan. She provided the assist[49] for Kumi Yokoyama's crucial winning goal that saw Japan lift the trophy, beating regional rivals Australia by a 1–0 scoreline for the second consecutive time.[50] In the same year, she won a gold medal at the 2018 Asian Games, where Japan emerged champions of yet another closely contested final, to win 1–0 over China.[51]

Hasegawa participated in her first World Cup competition at the 2019 FIFA Women's World Cup in France. She was part of a new generation of Nadeshiko stars, as the Japan senior team was in a period of transition, moving on from many of the players who featured in the squad that reached the previous World Cup final, and had lifted the historic title in 2011. Despite Japan's exit to the Netherlands in the Round of 16, Hasegawa's equaliser in that match was nominated for Goal of the Tournament.[52]

In July 2021, Hasegawa took part in the 2020 Summer Olympics held in her home country of Japan. She started in all four of Japan's matches and provided two assists as Japan was eliminated from the competition in the quarter-final, where they lost 3–1 to eventual silver medalists Sweden.[53]

On June 13, 2023, Hasegawa was included in the 23-player squad for the FIFA Women's World Cup 2023.[54] She played a pivotal role in Japan's performance in the tournament. She started in all but one game as they finished top of their group and reached the quarterfinals in the world cup.[55][56]

As of July 2024, she has played 86 games and scored 18 goals for Japan.[10]

Style of play

[edit]

Primarily a defensive midfielder, Hasegawa begun her career as an attacking midfielder in Japan. Early in her career, she most often operates as a wide midfielder on the left in a 4-3-3 formation while playing with Nippon TV Tokyo Verdy Beleza, although her versatility also allows her to occupy many positions in midfield.[57] Hasegawa is described as a player who possesses exceptional ability on the ball, whose electric feet, quick acceleration and low centre of gravity make her an adept dribbler and press resistant.[57] She also possesses a wide variety of passes in her arsenal when combined with her a great passing range and ball carrying capability, made her ranks among the best players in her positions in terms of ball progression.[57] She also possesses a keen sense of tactical awareness and sense of positioning which makes her great penetration threat with or without the ball.[58] Hasegawa is also an effective player on the defensive end where her intense counter pressing in the final third regularly helps her side to quickly regain possession through intercepting opposition play.[59]

Since joining Manchester City, Hasegawa has primarily operated in the defensive midfielder position with greater defensive duty compared to her previous roles.[60] In her first season in the new position, she consistently ranked high in the defensive metrics such as interception, ball won back in the middle third, and ball recoveries.[61] She also possessed a strong ability to kickstart the attacking sequence after winning back possession. She is similarly comfortable in playing through the opposition pressure as she ranked second in pass completion rate (88.6%) among players with 1,000+ passes attempted in the 2022–23 season.[62]
