Daizen Maeda sent a short message to The Celtic Support last night via Celtic TV and the debut goalscorer was even confident enough to deliver the message in English.

āI am madly in love. I donāt think I can contain it. Him, Jota, Kyogo, Hatate and Guchi. I love them allāā¦
āBetter English than Alex Raeāā¦
āConfident enough to do the post match in English. Fair play Daizenāā¦
āThank you making our Monday night Maedaāā¦
āI was so impressed with all three of our new bhoy all done exceptionally well in there positions it bodes well for the future. We just need Scott Brown to do us a turn and this title really could be onāā¦
āWhat a start, youāre one of our favourite new bhoys already. Welcome to the Celtic familyāā¦
Maeda told Celtic TV after last nightās 2-0 win over Hibs at Celtic Park. Ā āIām very happy to score and contribute to the team. Iām looking forward to the next few games and contributing more.Ā I was nervous before the game but I thought I could score a goal and Iām very happy to be here. I usually donāt get nervous but fortunately I could convert that feeling into good energy.
Before the game, I decided I would score a goal. I received a good pass from my team-mate (tom Rogic) and I just finished.Ā Ā I have to score a lot of goals. If not, the team canāt reach to become champions and I want to be a player who can lead Celtic.
āIf we want to be champions, we have to be a good team and we have to keep scoring, no matter who plays,ā Maeda saidĀ āI know the manager but that doesnāt mean I can always be playing. Thereās competition inside the team and in training. I have to show my quality, but I know his style very well and I know we can play much better.
āIām a player with heart. I want to show how I fight against the other team to all the fans.Ā All my team-mates have impressed me and weāve had good training sessions.Ā Now, if we can continue to play together on more occasions then we can play much better than we are now.ā
Itās very understandable to be nervous in front of 60,000. However, that is 60,000 supporters behind you and will do all we can to help you succeed and protect you from the wolves & vultures who circulate Celtic Park looking to inflict damage.
