1. FC Magdeburg: Tatsuya Ito wants to stay at FCM

On Sunday (1.30 p.m.) it counts in the east derby against Hansa Rostock! The 1. FC Magdeburg and whirlwind Tatsuya Ito (25) are ready for the hot duel, which has been completely sold out since last week.

“We trained really hard. From my point of view we are ready for this important game. We’re also really keen to play in front of our fans,” said the Japanese.

The Recipe for success against Hansa? Ito: “After the change of coach, one can only speculate what they will do. But our style remains the same, no matter which opponent comes. It is important that we concentrate on ourselves, on our passing game, our tackles, our intensive runs.”

After Baris Atik (28) extended his contract, Ito also made a clear commitment to FCM: “Yes, I would basically like to stay. And I would be happy to be able to play in the 2nd division with FCM next season.”
