Former Japan national team Keisuke Honda and J1’s Vissel Kobe, who appeared as a commentator on ABEMA’s broadcast program during the semi-final match between Argentina and Croatia of the World Cup (World Cup) Qatar tournament held on December 14, 2022. Former Japan national team Tomoaki Makino’s exchanges are getting a lot of attention.
Until now, the exchanges between Mr. Honda and Mr. Makino on the local ABEMA broadcast have often attracted attention on the Internet.
“I will not tolerate such cowardly behavior.”
The topic of the day was the exchange immediately after Argentina decided to advance to the final with a score of 3-0. Mr. Makino, who gave a commentary from the Japanese studio on this day, said, “Today, I think I was able to fully see the goodness of Argentina, but I think that Messi’s greatness was conveyed to us, but something was still missing. What I think about is that the commentary of (Shunpei) Terakawa, Mr. Honda, and myself may be unsatisfactory, and I feel lonely watching this match, but what do you think?” I revealed the loneliness of returning to Japan.
Anna Terakawa, who was in charge of the live commentary, said, “I’m lonely, isn’t it?” Furthermore, he sarcastically said, “Makino, after returning (to Japan), I heard that you were in great demand by the great media, and that you are appearing in various jobs.” I will not tolerate such cowardly methods. I am not such a convenient commentator.”
After hearing this, Anna Terakawa jokingly said, “When I was told that, I felt the same way,” and Mr. Makino of the studio laughed.
In response to this exchange, the internet commented, “Honda and Makino are laughing so hard lol”, “Honda-san was so tsundere to Makino-san that it was funny”, “Honda, Makino, and Anna Terakawa, the three of you, are really too funny lol” were gathering.
