2018/19 Takuma Asano @ Hannover 96 (GER)

Loan ?

 

Loan for 1 season, with an option to buy.

 

They won 5-1 over Udinese!! Asano scored a goal.

 

he nearly scored in every friendly for Hannover, he is realy on fire.

I think in the last 6 friendlys Asano scored 5 goals and assisted 1, so 6 scorers.

 

Started and scored in Hannover's 2-0 win against Athletic Bilbao (friendly).

 

Finally playing closer to the goal?

 

Somethings has changed. Just hope he continues this when the league starts. He has been scoring against really good teams.

 

Goalform continues. just scored in the cup!

 

Relieved to hear that he's been scoring goals as of late, albeit for pre-season and cup matches.

 

Starts! Hara on the bench.

 

Subbed out after 75 min for Weydandt who subsequently scored.

 

Starts

 

Subbed out 46. Too bad he cant perform when the real show begins.

 

Another start for Asano:

Did he us up all his goaltally in the pre season?

 

Lost 1-3. Came on in the 65 th min. No goal.

 

Get the chance to start again.

 

Out after 15 minutes subbed by Haraguchi. Probably some muscle problems.

 

Hope its not that serious. After the great pre season all turned to shite really..

 

Starts tonight.

 

Played 70 min. Thought the team as a whole was much improved. An unnecessary penalty and two badly defended corners still ensured a 0-3 loss.

 

Why is Asano listed as "intern gesperrt" by Kicker.de? He's been that for quite a while and his last match was almost 2 months ago. Did he had a falling out with the club/manager?

 

He's loaned with a clause that forces the club to buy him after a specific amount of matches played. Due to the impending relegation the club's head Kind forces the coach to not play him anymore to save money. It's all a shameful mess at Hannover this season.

I don't know at this point.
Logic would say it'd be better of in 2. Bundesliga with a team that actually wants to play him as a forward. Otherwise, we're risking a Usami-dynamic.
