Brendan Rodgers, the manager of Celtic, is determined to stick to his aggressive coaching philosophy despite the team’s recent mixed results in the Champions League. The team experienced a 5-1 victory over Slovan Bratislava followed by a humbling 7-1 defeat by Borussia Dortmund.
Rodgers acknowledges the need for Celtic to be more compact and learn from their mistakes, especially in challenging moments. However, he remains committed to playing attacking football and maintaining a front-foot approach in all games, whether in Scotland or the Champions League.
The manager emphasized the importance of striking a balance between attacking with intention and being strong defensively. He highlighted the need for the team to work together, especially in high-pressure situations, and avoid making individual mistakes that could be punished at the highest level of competition.
Rodgers drew inspiration from Atalanta’s journey in Europe, where they faced tough challenges against top teams but stayed true to their attacking philosophy and eventually achieved success. He emphasized the importance of learning from setbacks and continuously improving while staying true to one’s coaching DNA.
Looking ahead, Rodgers stressed that progress in Europe is a long-term goal for Celtic and not something that can be achieved overnight. He expressed confidence in the team’s spirit and togetherness, emphasizing the need to bounce back from difficult results and continue working towards their goals in the future.
