Eintracht Frankfurt announced the extension of 39-year-old Japan captain Makoto Hasebe and the international midfielder is preparing to make history.

Because if he also plays in the team’s jersey for the 2023/24 season, he would be the oldest footballer in the club’s history to have played an official game for Eintracht.

Hasebe has been at the club for ten years, he is one of the team captains and in fact his contract has an option to extend it for another three years until 2027 in another capacity.

In fact, in honor of Hasebe, the Germans decided to announce the extension of the agreement and hold a press conference in Tokyo.

THE Freiburg had a chance to capitalize on Bayern’s slump at Leverkusen and return to the Bundesliga title race, but the Mainz shocked them to equalize in the 6th minute of stoppage time 1-1 for the 25th matchday.

The hosts were better, had great chances in the first half but couldn’t beat Mark Flecken. The visitors then leveled things out and Ritsu Doan gave them the lead in the 55th minute.

However, Bo Svensson’s men continued to threaten and finally found the solution in the closing stages of the game through Karim Onishiwo to go unbeaten for the sixth consecutive game.

THE Leverkusen sparked the battle at the top of the Bundesliga after the win 2-1 upset Bayern with a 25th matchday and kept Dortmund at the top of the table.

Bayern had their worst day of the season and it is telling that despite being in control of the game, they finished 1st with just one final. The hosts limited themselves to missed shots and in the 22nd minute Joshua Kimmich beat Lukas Hratetski to make it 1-0 with a shot from the penalty area and a counterattack.

Bayern’s image improved in the 2nd half when they had to wake up to Ezequiel Palacios. The Argentinian striker equalized with a penalty in the 55th minute while converting in the same way in the 73rd minute.

The two teams had four winning streaks in all competitions and one streak would be broken at the Bayarena. Bayern missed some good moments but the streak that would break should be theirs.
