Daizen Maeda speaks to Celtic TV about his recent form, making new history with the Hoops, and the hairstyle inspired by his daughter! ✂️ Daizen Maeda has become one of Celtic’s standout performers this season, delivering crucial goals domestically and in the UEFA Champions League. With his trademark relentless energy, some clinical finishing, and a new place in the club’s history books, the Japanese forward continues to make a huge impact in Paradise – all while sporting a hairstyle chosen by his daughter. “The team is performing well, and I just think it’s more that the team creates the chances for me to score.” he told Celtic TV. With 22 goals already to his name, Maeda is edging closer to a 30-goal season but insists the team’s success remains the priority. “First of all, the priority is to make sure the team wins the game, so my focus is to contribute to that by scoring a goal or assisting as many as I can.” Maeda said. His goals have also earned him a place in the club’s history books, becoming Celtic’s top scorer in a single UEFA Champions League campaign, surpassing legends like Henrik Larsson and Chris Sutton. “I personally haven’t really been too aware of it, but we’ve had a lot of games this season. That being said, I think it’s an amazing record.” The Japanese striker said. Reflecting on the recent 2-1 defeat to Bayern Munich, Maeda highlighted the importance of his goal. “Obviously they are a top-level team, and at home, it was a game where we at least needed a draw. But going into the away leg at 0-2 and going in at 1-2 are completely different. That one goal at home was really big for us.” He said. And the secret behind his on-pitch success? It might just be his off-pitch inspiration. “My daughter said she didn’t like me with a shaved head and told me to change to this hairstyle. Honestly, I can never say no to her.” He said.
