Hasebe to Wolfsburg

Hum. Makoto Hasebe comes to Wolfsburg from the middle of this month. I'm glad a new Japanese player comes to Bundesliga, because...,




I can expect the Japanese TV broadcasting will probably try to air the games of Bundesliga on TV next season. Probably they will, perhaps, maybe..... ^^;

BTW, the wiki page of Hasebe in German is added.
I think it's my duty to add some info about Hasebe for German friends as like as I did when Ina came to Germany.

I put some info about Hasebe which are not in German wiki page but are in Japanese wiki page.
Here we go!
