Daizen maeda has jota in stitches as celtic return hype derailed by blunt answer

THE PORTUGUESE WINGER COULDN'T HELP BUT LAUGH WITH HIS PAL AFTER SEEING OFF DUNDEE 22:12, 05 Feb 2025Updated 00:16, 06 Feb 2025 It was another impressive outing for Jota as he made his

first appearance since his Celtic return in the rout of Dundee. But he struggled to get his teammate Daizen Maeda hyped amid a gushing post-match Celtic TV interview after the Hoops cruised

13 points clear at the top of the Scottish Premiership. Maeda netted a deadly double - with returning hero Jota chipping in with an assist for the Japan international - during the 6-0 rout

that plunged the deeper into relegation trouble. The showing from Maeda earned him a Man of the Match awarded from the Celtic TV pundits - with the January transfer recruit on hand to

complete the presentation. Asked about his return to Celtic Park, the Portuguese winger first said: "It was fantastic. It's a feeling I was looking forward to for a long time. I

missed it so much, and there is no better game than a victory with a lot of goal to celebrate with the fans." Maeda was then asked how impressed he was by the team performance. He

responded: "Yeah. I am happy to score the goals and win. I will do my best in the next game." Article continues below Jota burst out laughing, before the follow up question:

"How happy are you to have this man back in the team and scoring goals for you?" Maeda simply replied: "I am happy." Jota could be seen giggling along after the

short-and-sweet response from his Parkhead pal.
