2012/13 Takuma Abe @ VfR Aalen (GER) Thread [R]

Inui-esque way, prepare fireworks for the end of the season.

 

Good luck to Murakami ! from Aachen to Aalen, it's not everyday you see this.

 

I just got the last bit


Ich mag die...

I like ... something lol

 

translation of that video:

Welcome to Aalen. Are you happy to be here or still tired because of jetlag?
Abe: Im very happy at the moment. I dont have any problem with jetlag. Im looking forward to play for Aalen.

You played 30 minutes in Altach yesterday, after arrival + signing of contract. Coach Ralph Hasenhüttl said you had a decent/good match. What was your impression of the game?
Abe: I was not satisfied completely with my performance but players, coach and staff are very kind so I had no problem to fit in.

You can play many positions in offense. Which is most comfortable for you?
Abe: I played as a forward in Japan. But I can play as a winger or second top if the coach wants me to.

You could get to know your teammates. What do you think about the team?
Abe: Players are very kind and friendly. They come up to me and try to involve me. Im glad about that and that helps me to settle in here.

What were your thoughts when you knew you will be signed?
Abe: I was really happy. Now Im in Germany and Im looking forward what will happen. I will do my best!

Do they know about 2. Bundesliga in Japan? Significance of 2. Bundesliga in Japan
Abe: Many Japanese players already played in Germany, in 2. Bundesliga. Thats why people are interested in German football and also watch the games.

What are your goals here in Aalen? What do you aim for here?
Abe: I wanna play and score as much as possible so I can help the team and club.

Did you try Spätzle already? (popular food in south of Germany and Austria/Switzerland etc)
Abe: Yeah I had yesterday. Was very good. Oishikatta. Lecker...

He said "Ich mag die Ostalb". Ostalb is the area around Aalen in south of Germany.

 

Anyway, Aalen is new to 2. Bundesliga, having achieved promotion last year. And they're already 5th, 2 points from Kaiserslautern.. call me fool: i think he's gonna be a factor to reach promotion.

 

Fifteen goals would be a decent expectation.

 

dont be modest he shouldn't come back to Japan unless he nets 20 till the end of the season

 

No 30 goals is good enough.

 

Murakami will win the Gold Shoe

 

Yesterday 90' on the bench in his first game against Bochum.

 

It wasn't a good transfer since the beginning

 

Troll-lo-lo-lo

 

Abe was just subbed in against Hertha.

 

Starting against Aue. Hes kinda playing as a left attacking mid.

 

Should have closed down the cross that led to the goal. Also, this refree is completely crazy... should have been about 6 cards by now, but noones been carded yet... very very lenient

 

stopped watching after 60' becoz it was turning into drunk ballet on ice.... kinda regret it now

 

Abe just saved Aalen's ass scoring the equalizer in a 2-2 draw in minute 90. First goal in Germany!
