In the opening round of the German Bundesliga, forward Machino Shooto (25), who joined Borussia MG, played in the 38th minute of the second half in his home match against Hamburger SV. He could have missed due to a muscular problem, but he was on the bench. The match was tied 0-0.
Machino made his new debut on a packed home filled with an audience of approximately 54,000 people. Even though he was not in perfect condition, he vigorously aimed for the goal, breaking behind the final line and pulling out passes from his teammates. At the end of the game, he was a good long throw and started the opportunity.
Last season, Kiel, who was promoted to the first division, scored 11 goals. He stepped up to mid-sized Borussia MG with a transfer fee of 10 million euros (approximately 1.7 billion yen). He is in his second season in the first division of Germany. This season, its true value will be tested.
