The Eintracht management heaps praise on "Kaiser Hasi", who according to the sporting director "is suited to comparisons with Franz Beckenbauer", "recognizes dangerous situations and nips them in the bed, has perfect anticipation which confers the advantage of being one step ahead of the opponent, and builds up the game." The club wants Hasebe to "play for us for a long time, and then perhaps join the coaching staff".
With this Eintracht stint, I think we can call him a master. He won't be remembered as much as he actually deserves in future times.
You are so rgiht. For me he is the japanese abroad player of the year. But for a player that has a anonymous role has he does most people does not recognize him. I also think people forget that he has already won Bundesliga, with Wolfsburg. 08-09.
Played the whole match in a 0:3 rout in Leverkusen. Like against Leipzig before they didn't manage to control the opponent's attacks. Still third atm as everyone else lost as well. Hoffenheim and/or Köln can still pass tomorrow.
All(!) direct opponents lost their matches this weekend so Eintracht is still ahead of the pack on 3rd.
Missed a penalty today... incredible stuff. The PK was pretty bad and was saved, he could score on the rebound with open goal but hit the crossbar!
Hasebe played his 235th match in Bundesliga yesterday and broke Yasuhiko Okudera's (1977-1986) record for career appearances by a Japanese player in the league.

It cost him 6 stiches on the shin after he saved his team from goal after Mueller's shot and hit the post. But 'It's nothing serious' acoording to him. Good news.
Hm, bad news. He was out since that match clashing with his knee against the post and went to surgery in Tokyo a couple days ago. He'll miss the remaining season and it's expected he'll be able to join the preparations for the next season in summer.

Frankfurt beat Borussia Mönchengladbach yesterday in DFB pokal to reach the final. There they will face Dortmund or Bayern M. They play tonight.
Season stats: Started 23 (if he weren't injured out of 39 possible) matches, subbed in 2 times, scored and assisted one time each, 3 yellow cards and played 2.152 minutes.
Kamada is almost official - was mentioned today as still having to perform medical checks on Eintracht's website. Please post news here when it's official.
