Ange Postecoglou should also be credited with Brendan Rodgers’ trophy-winning comeback at Celtic.
In 2021, Hatate had his first appearance playing in Europe outside of Japan as he joined Celtic from Kawasaki Frontale.
On paper, the midfield player has dominated Rangers in terms of titles and victories.
Hatate acknowledged that the beginning of his Celtic career was difficult, but sometimes you can’t see what’s going on behind the scenes.
He has now talked about one of his communication issues, particularly with a specific Callum McGregor serving as captain.
Reo Hatate’s struggles trying to understand the Scottish accent
For foreign players, it’s understandable how difficult it can be to pick up the Scottish accent, especially given that it’s rich and deep.
Hatate acknowledged that it has been difficult to understand and that he is making a concerted effort to “keep studying English.”
Since McGregor is Celtic’s captain, you can assume that he talks a lot. Additionally, since he plays midfield with him, communication with him is probably the most crucial.
The Japanese athlete informed Celtic TV what transpires when he communicates with some of his teammates or those Scottish-based players, coaches, and club employees.
Hatate remarked, “The accent is definitely tough.” When I speak with my teammates during a game, they frequently condense my message and answer ten times quicker than I would anticipate, which can make it difficult to hear.
