Japanese striker Daizen Maeda (Celtic) is increasingly likely to win the top scorer and assist at the same time.
Maeda scored multiple goals in the 31st round of the 2024-25 Premiership at Celtic Park in Glasgow, Scotland, on the 30th (Korea Standard Time), leading his team to a 3-0 complete victory.
Maeda, who started as the team's front-line striker, received Callum McGregor's forward pass in the 17th minute of the first half and had a one-on-one chance with the goalkeeper and calmly finished with his right foot. In the 41st minute of the first half, with a 2-0 lead, he kicked the ball pushed by Nicholas Quinn from the right side of the penalty box with his left foot.
With two more goals, Maeda has set a new record of 30 goals in a single season. He has scored 15 goals in the league, four in the UEFA Champions League, six in the League and five in the FA Cup this season. He is playing in a bigger league, but this is a record that Son Heung-min (Tottenham) has never had before.
With 15 goals and seven assists in the league, Maeda can become the top scorer and assistant champion at the same time. With seven matches left in the league, Maeda is two goals ahead of Simon Murray (Dundee FC) and Sam Dalby (Dundee United), who are tied for second.
Maeda, who is ranking second in the assists category, is trailing her teammate Quinn (eight), who is ranking first in the category, by one point. Maeda accumulated assists in early February and scored only goals for nearly two months. Although accumulation of assists has been suspended for a while, it is a scenario in which she can dominate the two categories.
It is quite rare to win both the top scorer and the top assistants. Harry Kane (Bayern Munich), who played for Tottenham in the 2020-21 season, received the most points and most assistants at the same time in the English Premier League. Mohamed Salah (Liverpool), who has scored 27 goals and 17 assists in the EPL this season, is also highly likely to dominate the two categories. 메이저놀이터
Maeda, who was born in 1997, joined Celtic in 2022 and started his challenge in Europe. He has the resources to play as a winger and a central striker. This is the first time for Maeda to score double-digit points since joining the Scotland Yard. He has four goals in 23 A matches for the Japanese national team.
