Japan ace Daizen Maeda

- BY MICHAEL GANNON

DAIZEN MAEDA is desperate to keep his World Cup dream alive after admitting he’s been played out of position at Celtic.

The forward is on international duty with Japan, who play two Kirin Cup games against Ghana and Bolivia at home.

Japan were the first team to qualify for the World Cup next year and Maeda insisted he simply had to show up at this international camp after missing last month's game due to injury.
