2011/12 Tomoaki Makino @ 1. FC Köln (GER) Thread [R]

Re: Tomoaki Makino's Thread [R]

I really hope he gets to play more under the new coach Solbakken. I hope he likes Makino

 

Re: Tomoaki Makino's Thread [R]

also depends on Makino himself ... he has to show everything in pre-season to get in the starting lineup, surely important, especially as a defensive player

really hope the best for him, maybe wasnt that good that he almost never played with back4 line before he came to Germany?

 

Re: Tomoaki Makino's Thread [R]

Well, he "promised" grab a regular spot next season, we'll see... I'm rooting for him

 

Re: Tomoaki Makino's Thread [R]

He said that in an interview recently?

 

Re: Tomoaki Makino's Thread [R]

yea surely he said to reporters but what else should he say? he has to aim for the regular spot, no matter what

 

Re: Tomoaki Makino's Thread [R]

Yeah true.

Didn't he say he was aiming for 2014 and being the captain there?

 

Re: Tomoaki Makino's Thread [R]

yeah he also said that ... but so far, he noticed himself he isnt that confident as it looked before, lets see for the upcoming season

many had high hopes in Makino for the future, surely i wont give up on him yet

 

Re: Tomoaki Makino's Thread [R]

No absolutely not

Someone who reads German will tell us better hopefully. But if google translate is worth its salt, it's suggesting Makino is impressing for the position of right back and is on course to be a starter.

 

Re: Tomoaki Makino's Thread [R]

Sounds good.

 

Re: Tomoaki Makino's Thread [R]

No, it's just about how Makino is doing in general currently. Solbakken asked the players in which position they see themselves and Makino said right back.
Major part of the article is about Koeln's training camp on Langeoog in the North Sea where there are no cars (Makino prefers the city). Ah well he drinks coffee with No.2 goalie Varvodic... He explains the training plan to the new Albanian player Odise Roshi in broken English and is an integrative figure in the team. He is the fun guy but has also a sensible side (tries not to think too much about the disaster in Japan). "But on the pitch he does not joke."

There is no outlook on if he will be a starter. Pre-season camp has just started and we will know more after the first test matches.

 

Re: Tomoaki Makino's Thread [R]

In this article is said that every player of 1.FC Köln should discribe his wishes to the new season.So every player said,that he will be a starter next season,include Makino.

Makino said that his favorite Position for Köln would be a right centerback and that he hopes that he can impresse.That is all so far,but i read some story's about the training-camps from fans etc. and they were not unimpressed from Tomoaki,they said that he looked good.

 

Re: Tomoaki Makino's Thread [R]

First!

 

Re: Tomoaki Makino's Thread [R]

just right back, he didnt say center ... these are 2 different positions

 

Re: Tomoaki Makino's Thread [R]

@ sc-f hehe =)

Sorry sometimes i mixed center back and right/leftback in english ;D

 

Re: Tomoaki Makino's Thread [R]

i really hope he can grab a spot in the starting eleven for next season ... this pre-season is important for Makino

 

Re: Tomoaki Makino's Thread [R]

Yes. So he prefers playing right back? Not centre? Or libero, didn't he even play midfielder at Sanfreece?

Koeln fielded a young side including players who usually don't see 1st team action and lost against 2nd division FSV Frankfurt 0-3...

 

Re: Tomoaki Makino's Thread [R]

my impression for now is he wont be a starter also for this season ... its just not enough, they had their first serious tests and he was used at sub again, made some mistakes i heard, couldnt impress

even the season hasnt started yet but i have a bad feeling about this all

 

Re: Tomoaki Makino's Thread [R]

Okey

 

Re: Tomoaki Makino's Thread [R]

One of the CB spots at FC Koln is held by another Asian, Youssef Mohammed who is a Lebanon international.

Such a pity Makino can't get time. I heard he's training with the B-team almost exclusively. Did he make the squad to play Arsenal?

 

Re: Tomoaki Makino's Thread [R]

Damn this is bad.

 

Re: Tomoaki Makino's Thread [R]

Makino came in with only 3 minutes remaining according to Arsenal's official website:

Re: Tomoaki Makino's Thread [R]
