Celtic, where Japanese national team members Maeda Dairen and Hatade Reo, played, won the Scotland League for the fourth consecutive victory with overwhelming strength.
If they won the Scottish Cup final against Aberdeen on the 24th, they would have achieved a domestic triple crown, but they lost after a penalty shootout…
Maeda struggled to play the full game, but the flag bearer was forced to miss due to an injury. Coach Brendan Rogers lamented that the absence of the flag bearer was painful.
“The opponent has used a 5-3-2 system to defend deep.
Until now, I have been able to overcome this kind of opponent with speed, run, and tempo, but I have not been able to do so.
We were very good, we couldn't create much, and we couldn't break the line with or without the ball.
The absence of the flag bearer was definitely a pain. He lacked the ability to take him in the back and run to the front line and play.
We didn't have the right level of speed and tempo and couldn't create the usual opportunity.”
It is said that the fact that there were no players pose a threat to opponents like the flag bearer had an impact.
