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.
đ Goodnight, CeltsâŠ

âSpeaks better English than Kris BoydââŠ

âI am madly in love. I donât think I can contain it. Him, Jota, Kyogo, Hatate and Guchi. I love them allââŠ
âBetter English than Alex RaeââŠ
âConfident enough to do the post match in English. Fair play DaizenââŠ
âThank you making our Monday night MaedaââŠ
âI 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 onââŠ
âWhat a start, youâre one of our favourite new bhoys already. Welcome to the Celtic familyââŠ
Maeda told Celtic TV after last nightâs 2-0 win over Hibs at Celtic Park.  âIâm very happy to score and contribute to the team. Iâm looking forward to the next few games and contributing more. I was nervous before the game but I thought I could score a goal and Iâm very happy to be here. I usually donât 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.  I have to score a lot of goals. If not, the team canât reach to become champions and I want to be a player who can lead Celtic.
âIf we want to be champions, we have to be a good team and we have to keep scoring, no matter who plays,â Maeda said âI know the manager but that doesnât mean I can always be playing. Thereâs 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.
âIâm a player with heart. I want to show how I fight against the other team to all the fans. All my team-mates have impressed me and weâve had good training sessions. Now, if we can continue to play together on more occasions then we can play much better than we are now.â
Itâs 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.
