Pundits are taken aback by Ross McCormack’s controversial assertion regarding Celtic sensation Daizen Maeda. Daizen Maeda is currently unstoppable at Celtic.

 

 

 

 

Fans were taken aback and irritated when Kyogo Furuhashi departed Celtic during the January transfer window, as he had not been replaced. As the campaign approached its conclusion, many believed that Brendan Rodgers’ team was lacking in depth and depth in the attacking third. However, in the present day, Celtic are comfortably on top of the Premiership table, with a viable opportunity to achieve a treble.

Maeda is on the brink of being named Player of the Year, as he scored a brace in the weekend’s 3-0 victory over Hearts, bringing his season total to 30 goals.

 

 

 

 

 

However, the Japan international has recently been the subject of some intriguing remarks, despite his progress and increased goal scoring. Ross McCormack doubts the quality of Daizen Maeda’s finishing at Celtic. Maeda has not only elevated his performance on the domestic stage, or since he assumed the forward position,

 

 

 

 

 

but he has also demonstrated this in the Champions League. Nevertheless, Ross McCormack, a former Leeds striker, asserts that Maeda is not an astonishing finisher, despite the current high levels of performance. Paul Slane and Si Ferry, his fellow Open Goal commentators, were taken aback by this, as they were in disagreement with McCormack’s controversial perspective.

 

 

 

Slang, “We are four goals short of surpassing Kyogo’s all-time record at Celtic.” “He is extraordinary.” He truly is. In reality, he is superior at the outset. “That was stated by one of you.” McCormack responded, “Yeah, because he has no time to contemplate matters.” Slane, in turn, commented, “But he is an extraordinary finisher.” He truly is.” McCormack then enquired, “Do you believe that he is an extraordinary finisher, Maeda?” Slane further stated,

 

 

 

 

“He is adept at aerial finishes.” The match against Brugge at home was extraordinary, as he curled the ball into the far corner. He possesses a variety of finishes. You do not appear to be particularly fond of him. McCormack then elaborated, “Listen, he is an extraordinary player.” I do not believe that he is technically a finisher, but he is someone you would want on your team.

 

 

 

 

Ferry was taken aback: “Really?” Before Andy Halliday concurred, I believed that he was advantageous to us: “I do not believe he is an extraordinary finisher.” That is the message you are conveying. I believe that he is an exceptional goal scorer. I understand that it may appear foolish. I observe Alfredo Morelos, who was an exceptional goal scorer; however, he was not an extremely gifted finisher.

 

 

 

 

Slang Ferry concurred: “Indeed, I believe he is beneficial to us.” Before McCormack asserted that Maeda’s finishing was not excessive, he stated, “I can’t remember many chances he has missed.”However, was this due to the fact that he was not the primary figure at the top, and now that he has that responsibility, he has elevated his performance to a new level?
