Reo Hatate’s Hilarious Birthday Message to Daizen Maeda

Reo Hatate, a midfielder for Celtic, delightfully wished Japanese international and teammate Daizen Maeda a happy birthday on Instagram on Sunday.
The two, who have achieved success together at the club and international levels, frequently exhibit a strong bond, and Hatate’s humorous birthday message was no letdown.

A humorous twist was added to the post when Hatate shared a photo of Maeda eating a banana prior to a game, allowing fans to see the humor that goes on behind the scenes at Celtic Park. Hatate wrote good wishes for Maeda, who turned 27 on Sunday, as a caption for the photo:

The fast winger had a mixed bag of luck over the weekend. Maeda was engaged in a pivotal moment during Celtic’s 2-2 draw with Aberdeen on Saturday, despite his typically high work rate. He was dissatisfied with his participation as his misdirected pass allowed the Dons to equalize.

Maeda and the team had some solace in the fact that Celtic increased their advantage over Rangers at the top of the Scottish Premiership standings on Sunday evening, despite the disappointing outcome.

Now that he is one year older, Maeda will concentrate on recovering from his lackluster performance as Celtic gets ready for their Champions League matchup with Atalanta in Bergamo. F

Fans will be hoping he can put the weekend’s blunder behind him and return to his best form on the European stage.
