I have to correct myself Inamoto and Takahara were the first 2 japanese on the pitch in the German-football-history i'm sorry for that
Nippon-Weeks in the Bundesliga http://www.bundesliga.de/de/liga/news/2007/index.php?f=73753.php&fla=2 All teammates like Ina alot and so do all Bundesliga-fans it's only in German but i think it will be out in english in a few days
Yesterday, Eintracht won again at home against Hamburger SV with 2:1 Midfielder Alex Meier scored both goals Ina played very well, with some good passes and showed his good skills He played the full 90 minutes. Now Frankfurt got 10 points out of 5 games (3-1-1) and is on 3rd place one point behind leader Bayern München. Frankfurt is the only team which won all games at home this season.
Ina at an interview with a german tv-station Ina signing some Eintracht-shirts pics from Ina's site: http://www.campo.jp/inamoto/
true, it could be his best european season its good that he got an another devensive mdfielder on his site to keep it clean in front of the devensive and dont have to do all the work alone.
http://www.kicker.de/fussball/bunde...icht/object/807603/saison/2007-08/naviindex/1 Pröll (2) - Mahdavikia (3), Russ (3,5), Kyrgiakos (3), Spycher (3) - Inamoto (2), M. Fink (3) - A. Streit (2,5), A. Meier (1), Weissenberger (2,5) - Thurk (4) Inamoto got a good rating from Kicker.
Thats very good. They are never this nice to Hertha players. Not sure Inamoto deserved a 2, more like a 3 to me, but still a good game from him.
wow, are germans really critical? its funny, i mean inamoto didn't get a shit rating when he was in the epl, i find that real funny
Kicker is very critical. Hertha won its first away game of the season, and yet it still gave 3 of our players a "5" rating (basically, they were shit). But usually, at least, they are critical, but fair. As in, they are critical to everyone. When someone gets a "1" they've played a special game (think Ribery and Diego in prime form)
So that's how the Kicker ratings work... No wonder I thought I saw Meier as the man of the match, and then receive a 1 rating.
just a 0-0 draw, but better than nothing Ina played full 90 minutes 11 points out of 6 games not so bad ^^
His first bad game IMO. His shooting was abysmal, distribution was pretty good though. I'd give him a 4,5.
i picked out some questions to Ina from a fan-chat with Ina on www.eintracht.de last saturday Could you imagine that you stay longer here in Franfurt? I'm here for the next two years and i like it here very much, so we will see what the future will bring. What do you think about Friedhelm Funkel (Coach)? He is a very good Coach, who understands to push up a team in bad times. Frankfurt had great luck with him. What is the different to play under Osim than Zico? Under Zico we looked at our team and opponent came second. Osim more concentrate on the opponent and thats the big different. Would you welcome if Eintracht would play some pre-season games in Japan? Of course, it would be great Eintracht would be more popular in Japan. Our players are unknown in my country but i would change than because our players are very good. ]What do you do in your free-time? Normaly i stay at home. I applied to my new flat some weeks ago, so i had alot of work to decorate it. I went to IKEA the last weeks very often and bought some new furniture. Team you like most? I don't have a favourite one. If i had to choose one it would be FC Barcelona because i like their way of football Which reasons were determining to go to Frankfurt? First the sports reasons, because the Bundesliga is very interessting. Takahara was a reason too. Do you brought your family to Germany? Im Single and alone in Germany. My parents and my sister live in Japan. Where you at "Junk Sports" in Japan? No, not yet. Got the Backnumber 20 a special meaning? No, i just wanted a high number Thats all More questions to Ina are here for all who understand german: http://www.eintracht.de/aktuell/22416/ Thanks to all Eintracht-Fans for the questions to Ina! Let's support him together sorry for my sometimes-bad-english ^^;
Eintracht lost 0:1 against Karlsruher SC Ina just played one half He seems a bit tired and played just one good cross to Taka for his chance. Now Eintracht is on 6th place
