2014 Yuya Osako @ TSV 1860 München (GER) Thread [R]

Hain and Friend are rumored to be leaving. Nuemeyer is old and was only acquired for the amateur team. Vollmann is not a threat right now. Not pictured is Mike Ott. He's a young hopeful. Like Wood, Ott is half Asian (Philipino).

Just to show how much a danger Neumeyer is, they gave Osako his number.

 

Pictures of Osako...

I was reading up and noticed that about Neumeyer...what's the reasoning behind getting an old guy for the amateurs? I understand you might want an experienced veteran on the pitch to give the team some structure...but it could also block a younger player. Though if a "prospect" is too old for the U19/U21s but can't beat out a guy like that, that's another problem.

 

He's treated like the global star he is, I see. That won't diminish the disappointement but good to see.

 

I think he'll do well. 2. Bundesliga in good enough for him.

(Landon Donovan is great)

 

It seemed pretty dry. I did pick up that the club rated Osako's personality as a player who treats both teammates and staff with respect...and they asked him what he knew about Munich, and he answered that he didn't know anything lol. I think the questions were pretty generic in any case.

Also re: the risks of a transfer prior to the World Cup, he remarked that "I don't want to stop moving. I need to find an environment to keep on growing as a footballer."

Playing at Allianz Arena from now on.

 

Short answer is that we had many players from last year's amateur team move on to other teams or up to our pro team. A stop gap measure was to sign Neumeyer. You can have 3 over 23 players on your roster. Aygün is another older player on that roster.

Naopon is right...it was really dry. Nothing new that has not already been said here.

Belem is nice. It's a ground in Turkey so much warmer. More like Kashima.

 

Belem's on the mouth of Amazon river. Nice city. I'm guessing you meant Belek?

 

Freakn autocorrect on the iPad. Apple only missed it by 9100km.

 

According to bingtranslate we have some very happy Japanese fans leaving comments on fb about this.

 

There is another aspect about 1860 and no. 18. One of the most beloved non-German strikers was Paul Agostino who is still hailed "Fußballgott!" today. Scored the hope-bringing 1-2 at Leeds when 1860, yes that's true, played CL qualification. If 1860 was an MLB team the 18 would be a retired number. So, it's an honor to wear that number from a fan's pov.

 

Here are 50+ photos of his first training session below. When joining the club they usually put foreign nationals through a German study class. If you can pick up Japanese you can easily pick up German. I know Vallori, the captain, will do everything he can to make him feel welcome. He speaks a few languages and knows what it is like to play away from home. I have also heard that the Japanese community in Muenchen is planning a few events for Osako.

He seems like a shy character but got along with both Japanese and Brazilian teammates well enough. He should be fine.

 

Isn't he jet lagged ? Why is he training the next day?

 

I am really hoping to see Yuya Osako and Kakitani develop into top class strikers in Europe. They have the talent but do they have the mental strength ? We will find out in the next 2 years. Hopefully at least one of the two makes it big.

 

Naw. A little saki and a Benadryl and you can sleep in First Class pretty damn well. It's nicer than my first apartment.

 

It's good to get some exercise and sun to fix up your biological clock.
