Intense Enjoyment Marks Eintracht's Debut Player's Performance Currently
Eintracht Frankfurt Welcomes New Signing Ritsu Doan with Humour
Ritsu Doan, the Japanese midfielder, joined Eintracht Frankfurt in a move that has been in the works for over a year. The press conference to announce his signing was filled with laughter and a positive atmosphere.
Doan's first contact with Eintracht was last season, but it was former national player Mario Götze who played a significant role in bringing him to the club. Götze wrote messages to Doan for two years, urging him to join Eintracht, often saying "I'm waiting for you."
The tone of these messages became harsher over time, according to Doan, but the press conference ran smoothly after his opening joke. Doan stood up and waved before the first question, saying "Thank you!" in English, which caused laughter among the attendees.
During the conference, Doan expressed the importance of Eintracht appearing confident in the Champions League. He finds it crucial to approach the game mentally strong, not as the challenger. Doan also mentioned that he prefers not to think about how the game could have gone differently.
One of Doan's most memorable moments with Eintracht was the game against SC Freiburg, where he scored a goal but Eintracht still won 3-1. Doan brought his Japanese private chef with him to Frankfurt to help him adjust to his new life.
Doan played with Götze in Eindhoven at some point, and it's expected that their friendship will continue to grow as they work together at Eintracht. Götze's messages to Doan should be friendlier now that Doan has signed with Eintracht.
