[Question-and-answer session]
(How did you feel when you heard about the partnership between the Reds and Frankfurt?)
Makoto Hasebe
“In Japan, Urawa Reds Reds is the club that raised me, and it has a very big presence. I think it's very important to form a partnership, what kind of action you can take from there, and what you can produce as a result. I think that various teams have formed partnerships with Japanese clubs, and I would be happy if this partnership could produce visible results and be of mutual benefit. We will do our best to do so.”

(What would you like to do?)
Makoto Hasebe
“First of all, I think it would be good if there were exchanges not only among the top teams, but also among players of the training age group. I feel that the rate of growth from the age of 18 onwards is much higher in overseas countries.In that sense, Japan has many such talents, and how to develop them into athletes who are active on the world stage in the future. I think Frankfurt can cooperate.I think that the development age is one big theme.”

(What do you want to work on with the partnership?)
Shusaku Nishikawa
“I think there will be a lot to gain from this partnership, but I would be happy if we could go to Germany and play a match. I believe that this partnership has hidden potential, and by playing in a different environment, there are many benefits for both players and coaches. I think, so I would like to expect such things in the future.”

(How would you like to introduce the city of Urawa and the Reds to everyone in Germany?)
Makoto Hasebe
“The first thing that came to my mind was fans and supporters. Reds fans and supporters are passionate, and that is one thing. Besides that, not only in Urawa, but in Japan, there are delicious things. I've lived in Urawa for 6 years, and it's a wonderful place, so I'd like to continue with that."

(Have you eaten anything delicious since you came back? Or what would you like to eat?)
Makoto Hasebe
"Everything. Urawa has eel, and there are other things. Urawa doesn't have the image of sushi, but it seems that there are delicious restaurants. What I miss the most in Germany is Japanese food."

Shusaku Nishikawa
"I would like to recommend sushi. I would like to say eel, but I would like the Frankfurt players to eat sushi with Mr. Hasebe's treat."
