Matheus Thuler capped a memorable weekend by lifting the Japanese title and being named Vissel Kobe’s best player for the league campaign.

The defender, formerly of Flamengo, received the club accolade after a vote involving team-mates and supporters.

"One of the most important moments of my career. We battled hard for the Japanese title. The dedication and daily work of this group were sensational. Everyone deserves it. Without any doubt, it crowned an impeccable season for Vissel Kobe."

He told GE.

"Individually, I also feel my year was very good. I thank my team-mates and the supporters who voted me the club’s best player in the championship. That support and trust are fundamental for me."

Thuler has been with Vissel Kobe since 2022 and in that time has won three domestic trophies. He has featured in 145 matches, scoring nine goals and providing three assists.

A Flamengo academy graduate, Thuler stepped up to the first team in 2017 and remained in the senior squad until 2021. He was part of the group that won both the Libertadores and the Brasileirão in 2019.
