カルト的英雄からセルティックの象徴へ － 前田大然の台頭
エネルギーと不屈の精神で成り立つチームにおいて、その価値を最も体現しているのが前田大然です。日本人フォワードはセルティック・パークで愛される存在となり、カルト的英雄からセルティックの象徴へと成長するのは、驚くべき速さでした。エナジャイザーバニーとリアル・スリム・シェイディが融合したかのような精神力を持つ彼は、確実にセルティックファンを魅了しています。 アンジェ・ポステコグルー監督の退任後、ブレンダン・ロジャースが指揮を取った際、前田がポステコグルーのもとで見せたような強度と影響力を維持できるかどうか、多くの人が疑問に思いました。しかし、予想通り前田は一歩も引かず、むしろゲームをさらに向上させ、守備陣を苦しめ続けています。彼の絶え間ないプレスと圧倒的な労働倫理は、ロジャースのチームで欠かせない存在となっています。 スコットランドサッカーにおいて、前田大然がジェームズ・タヴァーニアを苦しめる様子は、ほぼ冗談のようになっています。セルティックとレンジャーズが対戦するたびに、前田はタヴァーニアを翻弄し、レンジャーズのキャプテンの守備の脆さをことごとく突いています。日曜日のセルティックの3-0勝利も例外ではありませんでした。再び、前田はタヴァーニアの前をすり抜けて先制点を挙げ、ほんの一瞬の躊躇を見逃さずに攻撃しました。前田がタヴァーニアをかわし、ゴールに向かう姿は、これらのダービーで繰り返される光景となり、そのプレスと鋭い動きがタヴァーニアの守備の隙を次々と露呈させています。 前田がセルティックファンにとって特別な存在である理由は、彼のピッチ上での貢献だけではありません。ゴールやアシスト、そして彼の絶え間ない走りは確かに重要ですが、それ以上に、ピッチ外での彼の魅力的な性格も大きな要因です。昨シーズン、彼はセルティック年間最優秀選手にマット・オライリーに投票し、ファンを笑わせました。その理由は？オライリーの優れた中盤のパフォーマンスやサッカーIQではなく、前田の言葉で言えば、「彼はとてもハンサムだから」というものでした。この瞬間は、前田の飾らない性格とユーモアを完璧に表現し、ファンの心をさらに掴んだのです。 前田がロジャースのシステムにシームレスに適応し、高い水準のプレーを維持していることは、彼のチームにおける重要性を物語っています。戦術的柔軟性とポジショナルディシプリンを要求するロジャースの下で、前田はさまざまな役割で活躍し続けています。最前線でのプレー、ウイングでのハードワーク、そして守備への献身的な貢献と、どのポジションでも彼は自己犠牲的な走りと戦術的な知性を発揮しています。これこそが、どの監督も望むようなプレーヤーです。 しかし、前田の魅力はその多様性だけではありません。彼は重要な瞬間に決定的なゴールを挙げ、最も大きな試合で貢献します。彼のプレスは、冷静なディフェンダーでさえもミスを犯させ、どこにもチャンスがないような場面でチャンスを生み出します。そして、彼がゴールを決めていないときでも、彼はセルティックの高強度のプレースタイルの基調を設定し、チームメイトと観客を戦いに引き込んでいます。 もちろん、前田が全てのファンに好まれているわけではありません。彼の最終局面での決定力や重要な場面での判断力が不安定だと、熱烈なファンでさえも時に不満を抱くことがあります。彼の圧倒的なスピードとエネルギーが、完璧なクロスや適切なパスの選択を妨げることもあります。しかし現実的には、もし前田がプレスの強さと完璧な技術力を併せ持つ完全な選手であったなら、彼はセルティックでプレーしていないでしょう。彼の生の未熟さこそが彼の魅力の一部であり、彼がこのチームにとどまっている理由でもあります。この予測不可能な要素と、まだ成長の余地があるという事実が、常に進化し続けるセルティックのチームにおける彼を特別な存在にしています。 セルティックの歴史を振り返ると、前田大然のような選手はなかなか見つかりません。ディディエ・アガテと比較する声もありますが、そのスピードを考慮しても、アガテでさえ前田がもたらすものには及びません。前田の絶え間ないプレス、無比の労働倫理、そして戦術的な多様性は、単なるスピードを超えて彼を特別な存在にしています。アガテはスピードにおいて素晴らしかったものの、前田ほど全フィールドをカバーし、守備陣を困惑させ、何もないところから攻撃を創出する能力は持っていませんでした。 この街は、何よりもまずハードワークとハートを求めますが、前田はそれを十分に発揮しています。これにより、彼は単なるカルト的英雄ではなく、現代のセルティックの象徴となったのです。
