Video: Honda’s goal for Japan against Cote d’Ivoire

23

KEISUKE HONDA scored Japan’s first 2014 World Cup goal and the first goal in the match against Cote d’Ivoire last night but it wasn’t enough for Alberto Zaccheroni’s side to get the win. Honda netted in the 15′ minute with a powerful shot from inside the box. Gervinho and Wilfried Bony overturned the result and so Japan and Honda lost the game.

To all the honda hating fans that think he is not world class. Only if he had more playing time and a good role in Milan! hopefully inzagi will give him that

Honda is world class and he should definitely stay. however this game vs Core d’Ivoire he got tired early on and he wasnt that good and he also is very slow. I think he should play in life midfield and make passes like Pirlo used to to Balotelli or the wings.

He´s not very slow, although you´re right he isn´t a sprinter either. The thing about Honda is that he isn´t FAST, but he is QUICK: a quick thinker, quick passer, and has quick feet that can take him out of tight spots like he did in that goal. Basically, perfect as a number 10, where he doesn´t need to be the fastest player, especially with players like El Sha, Balo or even Menez ahead of him

u r right man……………Forza Honda…………..

That was a great goal. Honda is a 10 and only there he can make a difference for Milan

The way he has being performing so far really shows Seedorf was playing him out of position

Offliner

True Honda was playing out of position under Seedorf management. Hope Inzaghi will be put him on the right position.

Offliner

Astori want to go back to Milan. If dats true Milan can hunt him back and can release mexes and bonera without any pressure.

-Iturbe/Menez–Balotelli/Mandzukic–El Sharaawy/Balotelli

We get rid of Kaka, Robinho, Matri and even Pazzini also Mexes if he doesnt cut down his wages. Birsa also gets sold along with one of Essien or Muntari. With the money from this and the 25 Million Berlusconi wants to give we get Mandzukic, Iturbe, Astori and maybe Casemiro on loan and another midfielder. Dont forget we have Montolivo

godmilano

u forgot taarabt

bula

Anyone knows the situation on Rami?? And iturbe, wikipedia says his already a Milan player :)…any updates guys??

godmilano

milan willing to get rami and banega….by paying 10 mil euros……..but they expect 18 mil euros

Lumen.

bula,Who has been confirmed by Wikipedia as Milan player Rami or Iturbe?
I’m sure of Rami the deal will be completed on Wednesday or even today Tuesday,but i ‘ve not seen anything about Iturbe,reports says the alternatives are Cerci and Nani.

bula

Someone previously said that iturbe was listed as a Milan player on wikipedia, i checked it out and i swear it was true but i guess someone must have just edited the article it says Hellas Verona now :P anyway, hope rami deal comes through

Lumen.

Unfortunately,Galliani’s meeting with Valencia for Rami has been postponed,he will negotiate with Peter Lim.

Would love to see us bring in Ever Banega and Ochoa. Watching the Brazil vs Mexico right now and Ochoa is extremely good, and only 26.

Andrew

Anyone watching Brazil-Mexico? Ochoa, who I remember everyone blasting when he was linked with us a few months ago, had a great game…he’s a fantastic keeper and I would be happy for him to join us!

NeoCortex

His class is incontestable and since Ajaccio are relegated, he could even be quite a bargain -> win/win for both Galliani and fans ;)

Jibola

I saw him and am not surprised with his performance, he’s always a top goalkeeper who deserves better club. He solely stopped Brazil and that’s what Milan need.

Some peeps here amaze me when they talk so bad of players they don’t know especially for the fact that Ochoa is on free transfer, they are ready to crucify him but truth be said, few goalkeepers out there are better than OCHOA.

sola

I saw the brazil-mexico game and ochoa was “waow”

bula

Damn, i hope galliani doesn’t let him slip away and have we made any contact with Ochoa guys @jibola??

Jibola

Galliani made some concrete contact with Ochoa’s agent Jorge Berlenga before the end of the season and his agent confirmed it to the media. “I believe that he would prefer to continue his career in France, but he has also received an offer form Milan,”

But Milan turned their interest to an unproven goalkeeper at the highest level of the game. It hurts to see such opportunity slips. right age 28, rare reflex, fantastic reading of the ball and very good passer.

Milanista121

I’ll admit, I was one of his doubters, I had seen him, but I never saw that “top-top” quality in him, but he proved me wrong last night, great positioning and reflexes. His save on Neymar was out of the absolute top drawer.
