The Japan ace is bringing the energy to the Hoops' title charge according to Parkhead colleague.
Daizen Maeda may have been dealt a brutal put down for his ability on the ball by one of his country’s most famous players.
Taylor, though, insists there’s no way he’d ever be under-valued among his colleagues in the east end of Glasgow. He said: “Not within this building, and certainly not by me. I’m Daizen’s biggest fan and I’ll never under-appreciate him as a player. Earlier in the season Maeda was clocked as the fourth quickest player in the entire Champions League after scurrying around at 35.6km/h. But there’s more than just being a pest to opposition defenders that sets the Hoops hassler apart.
“His strengths complement mine really well and it’s a relationship that’s been pretty strong through different circumstances. He’s been on the left, he’s been on the right, he’s been playing up front at times as has happened this season, but that’s part and parcel and it’s nice to have that relationship back.”
“We want to finish it the right way for him, But that is just one of many reasons. We want to give the supporters a trophy to celebrate and you also want to do it for yourself and your own personal pride. “He really reads every situation well and carries himself like the top professional that he is. How humble he is after everything he has done in the game is unbelievable. He’s arguably one of England’s greatest goalkeepers, Man City’s as well, he’s just a real credit to himself.”
