2012/15 Takashi Inui @ Eintracht Frankfurt (GER/EL)

Some assists only bear the name without the meaning but this one was really formidable. Slalom in the defense and the easy and right pass at the right moment.

 

Assist from FK.

 

don't think it was an assist. Manninger saved it & Aigner scored from rebound

 

Second assist !

 

Another assist, now for Nelson Valdez who just has his comeback from a longer injury.

 

Inui: "The 3rd goal was by design. Aigner always makes great runs off the ball, but I kept on missing the opportunity to pick him out in the first half. I finally found him and he finished well. As for the 4th goal, it wasn't so much an assist as a great goal by Valdez. The coach told me to move into the middle of the pitch and receive the ball, but I had trouble making good plays. I made many errors as well and need to improve. I wasn't physically sharp and felt sluggish. It wasn't a good match for me individually."

That tweet sounds so odd. The article is quoting coach Schaaf as liking the progress Inui is making, him having a good season and that people are just too critical of him for no apparent reasons. Also quoting director of sports Hübner that while Inui's contract is ending this summer it appears to include an option to extend it. The tweet's quote is referring to all involved parties having a common understanding of how and when to proceed with the supposed contract extension.

 

The kicker article is quite odd too.

 

Schaaf quit his job as the board of directors apparently were inquiring about Leverkusen's Sascha Lewandowski taking over next season, behind his and manager Bruchhagen's back. Bruchhagen, credited for preventing Eintracht's bankruptcy several times and fully supporting Schaaf, appears to be on his way out as well. It seems the club is very eager to step down into the managerial mess the likes of HSV and Schalke are perfecting.

 

Sad. Adios offensive football at Eintracht.

 

Took me by surprise as well, but it appears that both Schaaf and Bruchhagen were routinely confronted with bashing in the local yellow press. While that's not really unusual, it's already known for some time that Bruchhagen will leave (likely retire) after his current contract runs out next year, so club officials not involved in the actual planning of sports appeared to want to take the chance at doing something they know nothing about. Schaaf, used to working in a calm environment, obviously was fed up by the constant public criticism combined with that backhanded politicking and quit.

General (nationwide, not local which I don't follow) response so far is that Eintracht is completely bonkers.

 

Maybe Hannover will hire him.

 

Asisst today and subbed out arround 63 when Frankfurt was leading 2-0.

Anyone noticed that Armin Veh was saying that Inui is incredible strong in pre season. He is on top form and he think that Inui is a monster of player. Sounds very optimistic and I like it.

Never get the point why he was leaving out in the second season under Veh`s first decade cause after Takashis first great season he was solid the first game in the second season and scored + assisted in the cup game against Bochum and in the Europa League game against Macabi Tel Aviv ( When I remember right, from this point it was Inuis 6-7 games as a startet in a row and he looks sharp) and then ?? Bench and the season was over for him. Veh means the need more defensiv agility and Inui don`t have this but the reality was after this, the coach made some changes and this starts the relegation Battle. Clearly misterious.

 

Yes I know this , also that his performences dropping a bit but his attitude and so on was a following problem after getting out of the team.

I mean, Inui was not bad that`s the point. When you look his ratings in the first 6-7 games, he was as good as first season,maybe a little bit worse. At least he was solid in compare to others.The last 2 games of him, the Cup came which he scored + assisted and the Europa League game where he also scored and after this you get out of the team ? A bit harsh I think and it`s not, that Inui is the absolutely super star at Frankfurt where the world is locking at and when you play a little bad you are out cause you carry the team. He is a good player in top form and in the second season it was not Inuis fault that Frankfurt get more and more crappier which middle of season. He was one of the best players in the first games, one of the only who showed constitency and that`s the reason why I found it mysterious. There was much more players who you should drop. I swear , Inui doesn`t get so bad in this season, if Coach Veh let him play regulary as a starter. He is no super sub or something, he needs the trust (that`s maybe his weakest point after some finishing =D )

The other things I can`t talk about cause I think Veh is not the best guy (but not the worst) and nobody knows what real happens intern at Frankfurt. The point is, that Veh talk in the first year about Inui that he is one of the best players he ever seen and in the second season after Frankfurt struggle a bit you are out after scored 2 goals in 2 games and you are out ?
Last season, was a very solid season. He was one of the influcene offensive players, not in scoring but in assisting. With beeter defence he would even more shine.

With a Takashi Inui you get every season round about 10 or more scorer points, from a midlefielder. That`s not bad.
