Exclusive Interview with Makoto Hirata: The Midfield Maestro Reveals Secrets to Success

Interviewer: Makoto, thank you for taking the time to sit down with us. Let's start by discussing your current club, the Rotorua Savages. What drew you to this team?

Makoto Hirata: Well, I've always been drawn to clubs that prioritize team chemistry and culture. Rotorua Savages has a fantastic atmosphere, and that really appealed to me. It's important for me to feel like I'm part of something special when I step onto the pitch.

Interviewer: You've been in exceptional form recently, with one goal and two assists in just four matches. What do you attribute this success to?

Makoto Hirata: Thank you. I think my practice ethic has a lot to do with it. I've always been willing to do whatever it takes to improve as a footballer. And as I've gotten older, I've realized the importance of taking care of myself off the pitch as well. I've been making healthier choices and it's really paying off.

Interviewer: That's great to hear. Now, let's talk about your favorite club to play against, REV. What is it about that matchup that you enjoy so much?

Makoto Hirata: REV is always a tough opponent, which is exactly why I love playing against them. It's a challenge that pushes me to be at my best. Plus, the atmosphere is always electric when we face off against them.

Interviewer: And finally, can you share a random interesting fact about your life with our readers?

Makoto Hirata: Sure, I actually used to be quite unhealthy in terms of my diet when I was a young player. But as I've gotten older, I've started to take my health more seriously. I've been following a keto diet to help prolong my career, and I'm feeling better than ever.

Interviewer: That's fascinating. Thank you for sharing that with us, Makoto. We wish you all the best for the rest of the season with Rotorua Savages.

Makoto Hirata: Thank you, it's been a pleasure.
