37-year-old Japanese player Makoto Hasebe: I was planning to retire this summer, but now I want to continue playing

Live Bar July 22 News 37-year-old Frankfurt midfielder Makoto Hasebe said in an interview with the team's official website that he still wants to continue his football career.

Makoto Hasebe said: "I feel that I am in good shape and the team is running very well overall. We have a new coach and all the players know this very well. The competition in the team is fierce, and I have to fight for the position. Although we only trained under the new coach Glasner for two and a half weeks, he was a very detail-oriented man, both offensively and defensively. I was impressed by his personality, which is important to me and I feel that he is very communicative. ”

Commenting on the young players in the team, Makoto Hasebe said: "It's crazy, these 16-year-old boys are like my children. Ackerman always warmed up behind me and watched how I trained. He sometimes watches what I'm going to do in the dressing room, so I'm going to be a role model for them on the pitch and in the dressing room. ”

Regarding his retirement plan, Makoto Hasebe said: "I want to continue to develop and compete for a position in the team. In fact, a year ago, I planned to retire this summer. But plans are always changing. I'm healthy now and I can keep playing as long as I feel good. ”
