Japan defender Yuto Nagatomo made his eagerly anticipated debut at the San Siro in Inter Milan's 5-3 win over 10-man AS Roma on Sunday, while teenage striker Ryo Miyaichi also got his first taste of action for Feyenoord in a 1-1 draw away to Michihiro Yasuda's Vitesse Arnhem.
Nagatomo, who joined Inter on loan from Cesena for the rest of the season just before the close of the winter transfer window, showed off his trademark attacking runs and looked comfortable after coming on at left back for midfielder Wesley Sneijder with 15 minutes left.
"It was really exciting, just as I expected," Nagatomo said of his debut. "I was thinking I really, really want to be on the pitch from the first half and I kept hoping that the coach would pick up on that."
