Celtic Star Daizen Maeda Reveals Touching Gesture from Teammates During Club Brugge Clash
Celtic’s Japanese winger, Daizen Maeda, has disclosed a heartwarming moment of camaraderie among his teammates during their recent Champions League encounter with Club Brugge. Maeda, who has been in scintillating form this season, scoring ten goals and providing four assists, revealed that his teammates rallied around defender Cameron Carter-Vickers after his own goal against the Belgians.
Maeda told The Herald, “In the time I have been here, we have never had a huddle as we did after the goal. But we are disciplined and it showed how much we wanted to win the game. It was a good gesture in a difficult moment. What happened to him [Carter-Vickers] was not only his fault, it was a team thing and we will all take part of the responsibility. He has been a leader for this team and he will keep being so.”
The Japanese international’s comments offer a glimpse into the strong team spirit and sense of solidarity that exists within the Celtic squad. Maeda’s own performances have been a significant factor in Celtic’s impressive Champions League campaign, which has seen them secure notable victories over Slovan Bratislava and RB Leipzig.
With three goals in the tournament, Maeda has emerged as one of Celtic’s most potent threats in the Champions League. His goals against Slovan Bratislava, Borussia Dortmund, and Club Brugge have showcased his clinical finishing and ability to rise to the occasion on the biggest stage.
As Celtic continue their Champions League journey, Maeda’s form will be crucial in determining their prospects of progressing to the knockout stages. With his pace, skill, and finishing ability, the Japanese winger has become an indispensable component of Brendan Rodgers’ side.
