Eibar already enjoys Takashi Inui

Takashi Inui, Japanese, 27, will have to learn to say "Cuidad de Valencia" in Spanish. He will always remember this ground for being the stage of his debut in Spain. First call with Eibar and Mendilibar put the player in the starting lineup. With the number 8 at the back, Takashi Inui has become the eighth Japanese footballer to play in Liga BBVA.

The left wing was his territory, where he joined all the attacking moves. In half an hour three chances with the same trademark: right foot cross to the far post, well protected by Rubén. His teammates were looking for him and the Japanese was available anytime. It was not enough with the debut, he also wanted to score.

In the second half he could not get the goal, but gave an assist. Stole a ball, dribbled and passed to Borja Bastón who only had to push the ball into the net. Borja scored, but Inui, who could not hide his happiness, got the hugs and the congratulations.

In all, Inui was 71 minutes on the field. Mendilibar replaced him for Ekiza and Takashi could receive the first applause from the fans. A new Japanese has come to Liga BBVA and made it for staying.
