Dortmund Japan: Kagawa - comeback in the head, home to the heart

With the proverbial accuracy, his Japanese countrymen are said Shinji Kagawa it takes sometimes not as accurate. Only 15 minutes, he had announced he would run only once. It is provided in its rehabilitation plan. But when the Japanese national team and crowd favorite from Borussia Dortmund on Monday for the first time then jogged on the grass courts of the club's training ground, he forgot the time.

"It was a great feeling," he said and did then surprised that there are in the end, become 26 minutes. "Well," was to translate his interpreter Jonpei Yamamiro and seemed a little embarrassed: "I have to restrain probably a little bit." But this is difficult Kagawa. He wants "as quickly as possible" to train again with the team and even play again soon wish he had said after his return from Japan a week ago.

Back in April he would make his comeback in the Bundesliga. A forecast between optimism and utopia: Finally had the 22-year-old, who was extremely successful in the first round, the seminal figure in the campaign of the leader, until 25 January For the second time in his career, breaking a metatarsal.

The season is over for him, BVB coach Jürgen Klopp had prophesied at the time. They would, except perhaps a few brief appearances in May, probably remain so. The severity of the injury and the history of the mid-field player should be sufficient to exercise extreme caution Kagawa Klopp in the case.

And actually, the suspect probably Kagawa itself, it would be right to rush into anything. The injury would have him "surprised" that his disappointment was huge, he described the first time after that semi-final at the Asian Cup, when he had even tried yet to play out, although he had already sensed that something "not right" was .

"This is probably one of the hurdles that you have to take in the athletes' lives. That just may grow, "he said, promising future" to hear more on his body "so that there is no third time. This is the rational level, where he meets his injury. But there is also the emotional level. And that is characterized by the disaster in his home.

"Japan is in great need," he had said when vorirge week - at his own request - was given a press conference. He asked the people in Germany, and Japan to support an impressive manner described how he himself had experienced the disaster. As on 11 March, the earth shook, he was sitting in a taxi, was driven from Yokohama to Tokyo.

But only in the days following it the true extent of the quake and the tsunami has become aware. He recalled his teenage years when he lived in the city of Sendai. The area is now at the center of the crisis region. "We are living through a difficult time and need the help of the whole world," he appealed.

He also reported on how the uncertainties had taken their toll on his fellow countrymen when the information about the extent of accidents in nuclear power plant in Fukushima Japan invaded only sparsely to the public. "I have often phoned my agent and with Thomas Kroth Jumpei Jamamori," he said.

This was for him have been helpful. Finally, Germany has been reported so openly about the dangers, as had been attempted in Japan yet, to disguise the true extent. Thanks to the information auis Germany but he had to react quickly and moved from Tokyo to Osaka in the south. There he continued his rehab on to say.
