Keisuke Honda (本田 圭佑, Honda Keisuke, born 13 June 1986) is a Japanese footballer who currently plays for CSKA Moscow and the Japan national football team. He currently plays as a central attacking midfielder, but he can equally play as a second striker or a deep-lying playmaker. He is also known a static ball specialist.

Early career

Honda was born in Settsu, Osaka Prefecture, Japan. He started playing football for the local club; Settsu FC, he started there when he was in second grade at primary school. He entered Seiryo High School in Ishikawa Prefecture and chose to play for the school. He was one of the best players in the team and the school team advanced to the semi-finals of the All Japan High School Soccer Tournament. This was the first time a school from Ishikawa Prefecture had reached the semi-finals of the competition.[1] In 2004 he was selected as a Designated Player for Development by the J-League and JFA.

Club career

Nagoya Grampus

Because of this status, Honda was able to register as a Nagoya Grampus player while he was still eligible to play for his high school. He played one J. League Cup match for Nagoya while he was still a boy student. After his graduation, he officially joined Nagoya in 2005. He started the first match of the season and recorded an assist. In 2006, he became a regular in the club.

Venlo

On January 16, 2008, Honda signed a two and half year deal with Eredivisie side VVV-Venlo. The team was relegated to the Eerste Divisie, the second division after the 07-08 season and was in the division for the 08-09 season. In the 08-09 season, he scored 16 goals in 36 league appearances to help the team to be promoted to Eredivisie for the 09-10 season. He became known as 'Keizer Keisuke' (Emperor Keisuke) among the fans of VVV-Venlo.[2]

CSKA

At the end of December 2009, Honda transferred to Russian club CSKA Moscow.[3] Honda signed a 4 year contract.[4] The transfer fee was undisclosed, but VVV-Venlo was said to be very content with the fee as it almost matched their asking price; it is believed to be in the region of 6 million euros.[2] Honda made his debut for CSKA in the UEFA Champions League match against Sevilla.[5] In the second leg in Seville, he scored the winning goal through a direct free kick for CSKA after having set up the first goal for Tomáš Necid. This secured a 2–1 (3–2 aggregate) victory to send the club to the quarterfinals, making Honda the first Japanese player to be in the quarterfinals as well as the first to score in the knock-out stages. Honda scored his first league goal on 12 March 2010, in the home match against Amkar Perm. He scored the goal in the third minute of injury time, slotting home a pass from Necid with his left. With the goal, he secured the win for CSKA Moscow.[6]

International career

Senior career

He was a member of the Japan team for 2005 FIFA World Youth Championship and played for U-23 national team, that qualified for 2008 Summer Olympics football tournament finals. He made a full international debut for Japan on June 22, 2008 in a FIFA World Cup qualifier against Bahrain. On 14 July 2008, he was formally named as one of the midfielders of the Japanese U-23 national football team for the Beijing Olympics football competition.[7] He scored his first goal for senior national team on 27 May 2009 in a friendly match against Chile at Nagai Stadium in Osaka. He is given the nickname "Emperor Keisuke". He has scored 12 goals in 40 games for the Japan national football team from his debut in 2008, onwards.

2010 World Cup

Honda scored Japan's winning goal in their first 2010 World Cup match against Cameroon, finishing off Daisuke Matsui's cross into the top left corner of the net and this was the only goal in the match. His performance in the game gained him the Man of the Match Award from FIFA. In the final group-stage game against Denmark, he scored a free kick in the 17th minute from 30 yards out before turning provider for Shinji Okazaki after making his way into the penalty area, with a Cruyff Turn that beat a Denmark player, in the 88th minute to make the score 3–1 to Japan, a performance that earned him the man of the match award once more and Japan qualified for the second round where they were eliminated by Paraguay after 0–0 a.e.t. and 4–5 at penalties (Honda scored his penalty).[8] Jonathan Wilson of The Guardian cited him as a 'false nine': a player superficially employed as a centre forward but moving deeper to pull the opposition defence around the pitch.[9]

2011 AFC Asian Cup

Honda was included in the 2011 AFC Asian Cup by coach Alberto Zaccheroni. In the game against Syria he scored a penalty kick making the score 2–1 for Japan. He earned player of the match for that game. In the semi-finals against Korea Republic, he took a penalty kick, but was blocked by Jung Sung-Ryong. However, in the penalty shoot out of the game, he scored. Again, he earned player of the match. Honda was awarded the most valuable player of the 2011 AFC Asian Cup.

Personal life

Honda's elder brother was also a footballer. Honda's great-uncle Nakamoora was a canoeist who represented Japan in the 1964 Tokyo Olympics. Daizaburo's son Tamon Honda participated in three Olympic Games in freestyle wrestling in 1984, 1988, and 1992 and is now a professional wrestler.[10]
