Happy New Year to all buddies!

...I'm going to update my blog more in 2009! ^^;

Anyway, I'm still alive. hehe*

Fly to am Main

noreply@blogger.com (elly) — Thu, 11 Sep 2008 19:11:00 +0000

11th Thursday: start to work from 14:00 to the next morning.
12th Frinday: finish my work at 7:00 morning, and go to Narita airport directly.
12th Friday evening: arrived at Frankfurt and watch the 4.Spieltag at the stadium.

28th Sunday evening: watch the 6.Spieltag only for the first half, and have a night flight to Tokyo.

Do you think how many games I can watch with my own eyes? ;)
I will be back to Germany to watch games if I get spare time during my business trip. (boss, allow me please!)

Evaluations of Marco at the 1 Spieltag

noreply@blogger.com (elly) — Sun, 24 Aug 2008 11:45:00 +0000

I think Marco did well to some extent. :)

by Kicker;
-----------------------
Nikolov (3)
P. Ochs (4), Russ (3,5), Bellaid (3,5), Spycher (4)
Chris (4), Inamoto (4,5)
Steinhöfer (4), Toski (4,5)
Liberopoulos (4), Amanatidis (3,5)
-----------------------

by Frunkfurter Rundschau;
-----------------------
Ganz okay
Marco Russ: Souverän und abgeklärt, hat sein Tief überwunden. Wenn sich der Gegner aber ein halbes Dutzend Mal durch die Mitte in Tornähe kombiniert, kann irgendwas in der Innenverteidigung nicht stimmen.

BL 1 Spieltag

noreply@blogger.com (elly) — Sun, 17 Aug 2008 10:15:00 +0000

I've been bloody busy for trouble at work for a few months. Everyday I came home after 0:00. I'm sure such working situation can't be in Germany.

Now Bundesliga is getting busy like me(?!) because the 0809 season has started! So I must catch up with the 1. Spieltag before the kick-off of the 2. Spieltag. haha! ...Well today(when I'm blogging this post) is the day of the 2. Spieltag...haha....

The first game of the BL 0809 Season took place at Commerzbank-Arena between Eintracht and Hertha BSC. The data of this game is as follows;
-------------------------
# Members List
Nikolov
Ochs, Russ, Bellaid, Spycher
Chris, Inamoto (61. Meier/77. Fink)
Steinhöfer (55. Fenin), Toski
Liberopoulos, Amanatidis

# Goal Getters
0:1 Raffael (43.), 0:2 Ebert (60.)
-------------------------

.........yes, SGE lost the game even though it was a home-game.........orz

Initially, I would explain the situation of Japanese TV bradcastings for watching Bundesliga.
One of pay-TVs "Fuji 739" shows us one game per week and a highlight of the week. They will provide us games of Wolfsburg mainly... so for example, I can watch SGE on TV at the 3.Spieltag because the opponent is Wolfsburg.
The other one of pay-TVs "Gaora" gives us "The Bayern TV magazine" and all of the game of FCB (but not a live).
I can watch both TV broadcastings, so it means, I probably can watch 4 SGE's games on Japanese TVs this year.

Ummmmm, I wish I lived in Germany.....orz

Let's see SGE buddies.

They were in some relax mood before the game. but I was so surprised at Marco's head.

That's just G.I.Joe like!

Is the style popular in Germany at this moment?
Well, cool. (... but I miss Marco's hair. ^^;)

During the game, Marco played well to some extent. Marco won some "Zweikaempfe" against Hertha guys.

However our FWs seemed to be in bad condition, so we lost the game with NULL-2 score.....orz

Ama shocked,

...and Nikos also shocked like a little boy.

Everybody in blue....

(T_T) me crying...

We expect SGE will win the next game against Koeln. Most of the other teams were settled draw, so we still have a chance to clime up as like as we did at the beginning of the last season.

GO, SGE!!

--- my monologue in Japanese ---

ま、負けた...初戦しかもホームで。orz
寝不足覚悟でネット観戦したのに...
マルコ・ルスちんのプレイ自体はまあよかったと思うのよ。
Zweikaempfe も勝ちまくってたし、何度か危機を脱するディフェンスも見せてたし。
でも・・・やっぱチームが勝って欲しかったよ～～～
いやよ、来期はツバイテ降格なんて・・・。（今からそんなこと言うなよ、不吉な！）

テレビ放送の主役も、長谷部にとられちゃったなあ・・・（しんみり）

次よ次、次は頑張ろうね、SGE戦士達よ!!
---------------------------------

Happy Birthday to Marco!!

noreply@blogger.com (elly) — Mon, 04 Aug 2008 14:23:00 +0000

Happy Birthday to Marco!
Wish your 23rd birthday will great for you and your family. :)

Marco in Pre-Session of 0809

noreply@blogger.com (elly) — Fri, 01 Aug 2008 10:10:00 +0000

I've been busy at work so I just put some pics of Marco during the practice period before the 0809 season started.

Bicycle

noreply@blogger.com (elly) — Tue, 08 Jul 2008 14:14:00 +0000

SGE boys enjoy riding a bicycle for training. I can also ride a bicycle, so please count me in! [me idiot]
So...,

Doesn't only the trainer have to wear a helmet?

in Zillertal

noreply@blogger.com (elly) — Mon, 07 Jul 2008 13:49:00 +0000

Now Bundeskanzlerin Merkel is in Japan for the G8 summit, and SGE buddies are in Zillertal for training. ...I wish SGE buddies followed Bundeskanzlerin Merkel and came in Japan. [me idiot!]

SGE buddies enjoy training.

Marco followed the ball smiling and frolicking as like as his puppy Nala. So cute*

We had no-SGE time for about 6 weeks. I've suffered from "Russ deficiency".
Such a photo is a good medicine for me. hehe. [me idiot]

Today's bonus shot; Tanztheater by Fink

--- my monologue in Japanese ---

楽しそうに練習してます、フランクフルト戦士たち。
Schneiderさん、もっとマルコ・ルスの写真撮ってプリーズ♪

SGE buddies are in Zell am Ziller for training camp from 6th to 13th July.

Then SGE boys will have a test match against WSG Swarovski Wattens on 12th.

Hope they have a good time there and prepare for the new season perfectly! :)

New Away's Uniform

noreply@blogger.com (elly) — Sun, 06 Jul 2008 09:36:00 +0000

I know there were some complicated situations to decide the design, but I like this new Trikot. :)
I think this is the coolest one! ...Especially when Marco wears it. hehe* ^^

Testspiel gegen Hochtaunusauswahl

noreply@blogger.com (elly) — Sun, 06 Jul 2008 04:12:00 +0000

Marco seemed to concentrate on defense.

One of the newcomer Steinhöfer worked hard and got his first goal in SGE. Congrats!

Oh, Funkel's lovely son Meier has come back. Does he get well completely? It's good he was able to play.

Well, I'm sure the best photo of Marco is the the one Stefan from Blog-G took. Danke Stefan!

SGE got a win in the first game of this season. We hope SGE will also win the first game of Bundesliga 0809 (and DrHammer and us hope SGE will win all games, of course. ^^)! Go SGE!!

--- my monologue in Japanese ----
フランクフルトがテストマッチを行いました。
0-11の完全勝利。（ま、テストマッチだけど・・・）
シーズン最初の試合がクリーンシートで勝利ってのは、こいつぁ夏から縁起がイイぜぃ！←江戸っ子風
マルコもフルで使われて、スタメン定着に向けてイイカンジ！^▽^
この調子でブンデス開幕戦も勝利でプリーズ！
頑張れアイントラハト！
---------------------------------

New CB has come!

noreply@blogger.com (elly) — Sat, 05 Jul 2008 04:20:00 +0000

We get a new defender, Habib Bellaid!

An article is here.

I hope Habib and Marco will be good CB partners. :)

I think Stefan from Blog-G took some nice photos than some other pro-photographers took.
This is my favorite one. :)
Habib looks very nice guy. He has tender smile which makes me think he has a nice personality.

Then, we can see Habib is cool as like as a super-model. Tall height and long legs!

I think Habib a bit looks like Hide Nakata who was a Japanese footballer. Don't you think so?

.....But I don't think Nakata has such a wonderful figure like Habib, though. ^^;

Anyway, I look forward to his performances in SGE. Ja-ja!

--- my monologue in Japanese ---

おフランスのU-21から、長身でメロウスマイルなCB、Habibくんが
アイントラハト・フランクフルトにやってきましたよん！
なんて発音するんだろう・・・ハビブくん？
私の中での勝手なニックネームはHabi（はびぃ）です。（笑
ま、そのうちドイツ人サポたちが付ける or 選手間での呼び方を知って使い出すでしょう。

マルコ・ルスと素敵なCBコンビになってくれることを希望～。
---------------------------------

Laktattest

noreply@blogger.com (elly) — Thu, 03 Jul 2008 13:37:00 +0000

SGE buddies took the "laktattest" on 3rd July.

I've heard Mertesacker said he didn't like a laktattest.
Is this test so hard or boring for players? However SGE buddies seems to be peaceful by some photos.
Example: Good smiles of Marco and Caio. Cute guys! ^^

How was Marco's score? :)

Oh, I wish I could be this plastic bottle! [me idiot!]

A bonus photo for you;

...Wow* White sexy(?) back of Marco.(^o^;)

Well, I have to take a medical examination(*1) on 15th. I should follow Marco and Co.'s bodies and should do sport...no, exercise. Ja, I don't have to be checked my lactic score but my weight.....Noooooo!(+o+;)

(*1)= Most of Japanese companies get their employees to take a health check every year. How about in Germany?

--- my monologue in Japanese ---

本日、乳酸値テストを受けたフランクフルト戦士たち。今年はマルコもバカンス太りしてないみたい。(^v^)
再来週、会社の健康診断で体重チェックを受けるワタクシ。日頃の激務ストレス＆徹夜勤務でつまみ食い太りしまくり。(-.-;)

マルコ・ルスちん、ぽんぽん白っ☆まあ、白人さんだしな～
私も色白のほうだけど、アジアンの色白とはまた違うよコケイジャンのは。

新入生たちも、故障中のみんなも、
早く皆一緒に練習GO!ってなるといいな♪

Get Strated!

noreply@blogger.com (elly) — Mon, 30 Jun 2008 03:35:00 +0000

SGE has got started for the new season! We've been waiting for this moment for a looooong time!

So...,
I know it was bad that I didn't update this blog since May. I couldn't do it because of my bloody busy work these days. I must update some posts about my trip to Germany in May, some games of SGE of Bundsliga 0708 and Euro 2008. Well, I'm going to write and upload them soon. hehe.

...Anyway, let's see how SGE boys are after the vacation..

Checking some photos on the Internet, SGE buddies looks well. Of course Marco also looks fine.

OHHH Marco! Loooong time no seeeeee! I'm so happy to see you again. :)

It's the same as the past situations, please check an edge of a photo carefully if you would like to find Marco. ^^;
Hey photographers, did you know Marco was selected the 2nd best player of the last season by SGE fans? Why don't you take Marcos photos more?

Marco enjoyed the first training so much and he was jumping with big smile.:D Cute*

I remember Marco did the same at the first training of the last season... What a cute it is*

# this is a photo taken the previous year.

Oh, there are new comers here.

Alexander Kruek (li.), Markus Steinhoefer
Welcome to SGE! :)

Wow, Proell attains enlightenment after his surgery?

He came here, so it means he has already got well.... Am I correct?

According to the SGE website, Vassi wasn't there... Oh my... orz

Anyway, I hope SGE buddies have a great season and also hope we enjoy SGE this new season.
In my additional hope, SGE will be placed for CL or UEFA Cup and Marco will be called up to join the Nationalmannschaft...! Go Marco!

--- my monologue in Japanese ---
Euro2008 の不満足感を引きずりつつも、
ついに練習再開、フランクフルト！待っていたわよこの日を、首をキリンにして！（笑
マルコ・ルスも元気そうでよかったわ。
今年の目標（by わたしの勝手で）は、
・UEFAカップに出る！
・マルコが代表に召集される！
Euro2008で、守備陣に新風が必要なことは世界中が判ったことだし、
ここはひとつ、同世代CBコンビ育成ということでいかがでしょう？ボランチでも使えてポリバレントよ♪
ヨギさん、頼みますよっ！
おっと、その前にフンケルさんにがんばってチームをレベルアップしてもらわんとね。

皆様、また今シーズンもヨロシクです～。＾＾
------------------------------

oh no...

noreply@blogger.com (elly) — Mon, 19 May 2008 09:11:00 +0000

I'll update soon. Sorry...
I'm still alive. ^^;

Evaluations of Marco at the 30 Spieltag

noreply@blogger.com (elly) — Wed, 30 Apr 2008 08:35:00 +0000

What do they say about the work by Russ?

--------
by Kicker;

Pröll (2,5)
P. Ochs (2,5), Russ (3,5), Galindo (3), Spycher (4,5)
Inamoto (3)
M. Fink (3,5), Köhler (3)
Weissenberger (4,5)
Fenin (4,5), Amanatidis (4,5)
--------

...well, ah so. 3.5..... (-_-;
That's quite normal evaluation.

BL 30 Spieltag

noreply@blogger.com (elly) — Wed, 30 Apr 2008 07:07:00 +0000

The opponent was honeybees Borussia Dortmund, and the game ended up 1-1 draw.
Umm, we wanted 3 punkt...!

Let's see the data of this game.
------------
# Members list;
Pröll
Ochs, Russ, Galindo, Spycher
Fink, Köhler, Inamoto, Weissenberger (69. Caio)
Fenin (82. Heller), Amanatidis

# Goal Getters;
1:0 Köhler (46.)
1:1 Blaszczykowski (51.)
------------

Actually I didn't have time to watch the game this weekend. I had been to countryside to show up at a wedding party of my cousin. I just only saw a digest movie of the 30 Spieltag at a glance after I came back to Tokyo. I've spent honeybee days lately.

That's why I don't know the detail of the game, but Russ seemed to play well. The LDW by Blog-G is Marco Russ! Yeah, applause!!
---------
KW 17/08
Marco Russ
Wegen Nala, seiner Entwicklung, seinen Toren und weil er es seit Wochen schon verdient hat
---------

I picked up some photos and put them here.

Ouch...!

Ouch again...!

Marco worked hard as a sky fighter.

Cute Russ and Galindo*

Recently Marco often acted like that and was taken by pro-camera. [e.g.]

All looked sad about their defeat...
I was also sad... orz

I'm not sure but I think Marco kicked a FK or PK during this game, is it my illusion?! I need to check full-match video.

Next SGE is going to play against Stuttgart on 3rd May, and I'm going to be there to watch ~~Russ~~ SGE's game. hehe! I'm going to watch the 32 Sspieltag in live and the 33 Spieltag on TV in Germany. ;)

I really hope SGE will win, hopefully all of the rest of the games this season! (and hope SGE will go to UEFA or UI cup!)

Cutest Nala!

noreply@blogger.com (elly) — Tue, 29 Apr 2008 21:25:00 +0000

I wish I could be this dog. [me idiot!]

Marco Russ got his first dog, named "Nala". Maybe the dog is "she", not "he"...
The article is here.

I like dogs and have wanted to have my own dog, but I can't because I've always lived in small apartments wherever I lived. I've moved to many parts in Japan because of my father's job, so I'm never be able to have any pet.

One of my dream is to take a dog for a walk. I saw many people who take a dog and walk on a street in Germany. I also saw 99% wineries in Australia have dogs who are friendly to visitors.

I would be happy if I had a chance to walk on a street with a dog in Germany. What a cool!

Marco will be a Jogi's Child?!

noreply@blogger.com (elly) — Thu, 24 Apr 2008 13:24:00 +0000

Hallo Jogi,
I'm sure Marco Russ is the one who you've looked for as a new CB in your team.

Yeah! I really hope I will see Marco wearing a uniform of the national team again!

This is young Marco of U-20. Super!

Not only Bild but also Frankfurter Rundschau and FNP mentioned that it will be possible for Russ to be called. So I think this story is not fiction...!
Go Russ, Go Russ!! d(^-^)/

Mobile Wallpaper

noreply@blogger.com (elly) — Thu, 24 Apr 2008 08:51:00 +0000

Stefan from Blog-G always takes lots of beautiful photos.

Stefan allowed me to use his photo of Marco as a wallpaper of my mobile phone. Danke, Stefan! :)

And, these posts made me happy***
Stefan
Albert C
DrHammer
(*^^*)
How nice such kind of small talks! Viva Internet!!

So then, I made a wallpaper as follows;

#The image size is adjust to the display of my mobile phone.

When it comes to a mobile phone, I got a latest one and I can enjoy some games with my handy as like as Wii by Nintendo. Can you imagine? We can play..., for example, Golf, PK as a GK, Bowling, Fishing, Boxing, Chemists check between two people by voice, lie detector, playing guitar and so on.
I'm not into computer games, but this function is a bit fun to kill the time.

Chat with Russ

noreply@blogger.com (elly) — Thu, 24 Apr 2008 07:27:00 +0000

ATTENTION! Marco Russ will chat with fans via the official SGE website on Wednesday 30th. :)
...WISH I COULD BE FLUENT IN GERMAN!!

Beauty Salon in FRA and TKY

noreply@blogger.com (elly) — Thu, 24 Apr 2008 07:26:00 +0000

SGE ties up with a beauty salon in am Main.

We can see the article here and here.

In FNP's article, there is a sentence like this;
---------------
„In internationalen Metropolen wie New York oder Tokio sind solche ganzheitlichen Concept-Stores längst etabliert und auf dem Beautysektor nicht mehr wegzudenken. Frankfurt ist nun auch bereit für diesen Schritt“, betont Ochs.
---------------

Ja, that's right, there are many total-beauty-salon in Tokyo.
~~... but I think we won't become so cool if we would take various treatments in gorgeous salons because we're small and plain Asian...~~

...Me?
I wish I could have time to go to such a salon, haha. I usually work until 9 or 10 PM as like as a typical Japanese office worker. ^^; It's all I go to a hair salon in a month. I think people who can go home at fixed time enjoy such a salon.

However, I can introduce a nice head-spa salon in central Tokyo to you if you're interested in. Please ask. ;)

Evaluations of Marco at the 29 Spieltag

noreply@blogger.com (elly) — Thu, 24 Apr 2008 07:23:00 +0000

I think Russ was not so bad.

M. Fink (3,5), Köhler (2,5)
Fenin (4,5), Weissenberger (4,5)
Amanatidis (4)
---------------------

....4.5 is too underestimate, don't you think so?!

---------------------
by Frankfurter Rundschau;

Gut dabei
Marco Russ: König der Lüfte. Wie viele Bälle er wohl aus dem Strafraum gewuchtet hat? Weit mehr als ein Dutzend. Sehr stellungssicher. Sehr abgeklärt. Ließ sich auch vom großen Namen Luca Toni nicht einschüchtern. Aber auch er konnte das 1:2 durch den Italiener nicht verhindern.
---------------------

Danke FR! :)

Well, we all see Toni is Super and is in good condition right now.
Maybe Marco mentioned about Zweikampf with Toni in this interview...??? ...I guess so. ^^;

*Ain't Rant About Frankfurt*
