I'll include everyone on here in this trivial argument / debate i had with a Celtic fan last night.? He said to me "we have the fastest player in Scottish football against yous the morra in Daizen Maeda and although he's not the greatest footballer, pace hurts opposition teams".
My response was this, "you're correct, pace does frighten and hurt opposition teams, but you don't have the fastest player in Scottish football, we do, rabi matondo, who is similar to Maeda in not making the correct decisions a lot of the times, but he is an absolute flying machine". ?
So guys without being biased in any way, i ask each and everyone of you who you reckon is the fastest between matondo V Maeda ?.

Id say matondo and then i'd say who gives a tosh mckinlay the games decided by goals not a 100m sprint.

I think they are close in speed but maeda is a far more powerful runner and runs with intent, Rabbi has more skill but no real fight about him imo.

I think Matondo has more acceleration but Maeda can run for 90 mins.

Correct sir Walter, matondo faster by a mile.

Picked this up online;
“At 18, Rabbi set a new record for a 20-metre sprint during end-of-season tests at the Etihad with a razor-sharp 2.62 seconds, beating the likes of Leroy Sane, Raheem Sterling and Kyle Walker in the process.
That is even faster than Olympic legend Usain Bolt’s opening 20m time of 2.87sec when he landed 100m gold in Beijing in 2008. “.

Both much about the same in a foot race so difference in both players will come down to other factors.
Google search has Rabbi at 35.4 km/ h
Maeda at 35.6 km/ h
Don’t quote me on the accuracy of above figures though.

Matondo couldn't lace Maeda's boots.

Both have very little end product tho madea a bit better but being fast is irrelevant when very little end product. Especially when they play wide.

Good question. Not seen them race. But if you have me the choice of Maeda vs Marino in our team, then it’s Maeda. Of course today it’s probably Maeda vs Tav ?.

Matondo faster. But maeda better player by quite a bit. And has tav on toast. So much so that think he's actually in tavs head. He knows he's done b4 the game starts.

Matondo faster but not as effective as Maeda.
01 Sep 2024 10:05:31
Matondo, probs egdes it. But maeda has more final product. Although also erratic.
01 Sep 2024 10:17:26
Matondo.
01 Sep 2024 11:25:19
Matondo quicker but Maeda has a better end product.

I mind Andy Kennedy racing someone in front of the enclosure back in the day, he was quick but can't mind who he raced. One for the older gents?.
