The necessity of similar playing styles and a footballing DNA has been a common theme throughout the SCOUT series, and the success story of Yokohama F Marinos in Japan, under the tutelage of Ange Postecoglou, is explored in greater detail.
However, the key role of the CFG network is demonstrated in Yokohama’s urgent search for a new centre-forward after a serious injury threatens to derail the Club’s J-League title tilt.
