http://hochi.yomiuri.co.jp/soccer/world/news/20130521-OHT1T00105.htm Signed until 2017 Around one million was paid for his transfer fee. Article says an offer came from Frankfurt too, but he choose Hertha even if there was an EL chance, because here he will meet again his Augsburg coach, Jos Luhukay, who obviously knows him very well.
Good move, there were too many players ahead of him at Leverkusen. Hope he can stabilish himself as a starter now, he already showed he can handle the level of Bundesliga when he was at Augsburg.
I agree a great move for him and for JNT. Some players could take him as an example, that a step down can be a step up
3-2 now Hertha won a PK in 119th min. I can't believe I watched the entire match just to see Hosagai play for 8 mins. Crappy game.... Hertha's defense is really poor.
Watched a bit of the first half, Hosogai was playing really well. Herta was absolutely dominating btw. Let's see now that Inui is on edit: LOL another goal.
I lost the 3rd goal but for the 5th yeah, he was in the MF and made a good pass to a teammate who made the final assist.
Herta's coach praising Hosogai: Hosogai brachte vor allem Tempo und Witz in den Auftritt der Berliner. "Er war heute überragend", sagte Luhukay. Said he was excellent. =) http://www.tagesspiegel.de/sport/hertha-bsc/hertha-frankfurt-6-1-das-ist-die-spitze/8622394.html
