Happy Birthday, Makoto Hasebe! You're like fine wine—getting better with age and still bossing the midfield since your debut for Urawa Red Diamonds back in 2002. Who knew that when you first stepped onto the pitch internationally for Japan in 2006, you'd become a timeless legend? Clearly you've discovered football's fountain of youth!From captaining Japan at multiple World Cups to leading Eintracht Frankfurt to Europa League glory as their ageless defensive anchor—you've done it all. May this birthday bring fewer yellow cards and more cake slices; after all these years defending goals, it's time someone defended yours!
