Celtic forward’s alarming slump contrasts with pre-break form
Daizen Maeda is currently going through a terrible spell with Celtic, as the statistics reflect a worrying drop in his performance.
The striker has failed to score or assist in his last 13 domestic matches, a streak that contrasts sharply with his previous form.
Statistics that call into question the Celtic striker’s current form
The difference is even more striking considering that, before the season’s break last year, the Japanese player had registered 16 goals in that same 13-game stretch.
At that time, Maeda was considered one of the team’s most influential players, a key figure in attack and a crucial part of the system.
Today, the situation is completely different. His lack of effectiveness in front of the goal has set off alarm bells within the club, as Celtic needs a striker who can make a difference and maintain a consistent scoring rate in decisive moments.
His slump not only affects his personal statistics but also the team’s collective performance. Given this situation, questions about his future are beginning to arise.
Beyond his talent and what he has shown in the past, the Scottish club may be forced to reconsider his role within the team if he fails to reverse this negative streak and recover the form that made him one of their key players.
