It has been revealed that Kento Nagao of the popular group " Naniwa Danshi " will be appearing as a special guest on "Champions League Digest!", currently airing on WOWOW. Nagao, who is a big fan of Real Madrid, will appear in the "Quarterfinals 1st Leg" on April 11th at 11pm. "The Arsenal vs. Real Madrid match is the one to watch the most. I'm glad I stayed until the time when I was supposed to appear on the show! I hope to liven up the show together with (MC) Yabu (Kota)!" he said enthusiastically.
WOWOW broadcasts the UEFA Champions League (CL), which decides the number one club in Europe, live and exclusively on Fridays during CL match weeks. It also broadcasts and streams Champions League Digest!, which introduces all the goals from all the matches. MC is Kota Yabu from Hey! Say! JUMP , and the lineup includes a star-studded commentator, a look back at notable matches, and special features.
Nagao will be appearing on the 11th broadcast, and in addition to providing commentary on all the goals scored in all the matches of the first leg of the Champions League quarterfinals that will be held that week, the show will also feature "players with great captaincy who lead their teams," which Nagao also cited as one of the highlights of the Champions League. The show will focus on the captains of the eight teams that made it to the quarterfinals. In addition, the show's first appearance with Yabu, who he says he watches soccer in his private life and keeps in contact with, is likely to be a hot topic.
◇ Comment from Mr. Nagao
I feel that there are only interesting matches when it comes to the quarterfinals! The match between Bayern and Inter, the top of each country's league, is also attracting attention, and the match between Paris Saint-Germain, who defeated Liverpool, who were considered the favorites to win and advanced to the top of the league phase, and Aston Villa, who have Watkins, Rashford and Asensio, who joined this winter, is also interesting!
But above all, Arsenal vs. Real Madrid is the most anticipated match. I'm glad that I was still in the program to appear! This match is simply an interesting one, but Real Madrid has never beaten Arsenal, and they haven't been able to get revenge since Henry scored a goal in the 2005-06 season, so I'm looking forward to seeing what happens this time!
Also, after the international match week in March, I'm really looking forward to seeing what members and formations each club will bring, so I hope to be able to liven up the program together with Yabu-san!
◇Comment from Yabu
Every time we meet, we talk about Madrid, so I hope we can create a friendly atmosphere in the studio! He's a real Madridista, so I'd like him to talk about it to his heart's content on the show. I'm looking forward to it!
