  5. Anxious about his expiring contract

  6. Clashed with Yuki Yoshihara over training standards

    Minor
    Cause
    The disagreement started because they judged training effort very differently. It played out on the training ground in front of the rest of the squad.
    Outlook
    Likely to settle unless repeated within the next few weeks.

  7. Praised in a satisfied full-time talk

    Minor
    Cause
    The team had won, and the manager wanted to reinforce the standards. He handles pressure well, which helped the moment land.
    Outlook
    Trend is improving — relationship should keep strengthening.

  8. Signed a new contract

    Moderate
    Cause
    He committed to the project on terms both sides could live with.

  9. Unsettled by the squad wage hierarchy

    Moderate
    Cause
    The squad's wage hierarchy is the underlying issue. The gap to the squad's top earners has become a daily reminder.
    Outlook
    Contract request risk increased.
