“It’s a blessing in disguise…”- Celtic Missed Out on SIGNING a 23-year-old Midfielder who had an Awful Performance for His Country During International Break…

Mateusz Bogusz’s Disappointing Debut: A Missed Opportunity for Celtic?

The international break has provided a chance for players to showcase their skills on the global stage, but for Mateusz Bogusz, his debut for Poland was a night to forget. The 23-year-old midfielder, who has been linked with a move to Celtic, struggled to make an impact in Poland’s 1-0 defeat to Croatia in the Nations League.

Bogusz’s performance was described as “very difficult” by Polish outlet Super Express Sport, who awarded him a rating of three out of ten. The Los Angeles FC player failed to show his potential, managing just 23 touches and completing only 12 passes in his 62 minutes on the pitch.

This disappointing debut has raised questions about Bogusz’s readiness for a move to Celtic. The Scottish Premiership champions were reportedly interested in signing the midfielder as a replacement for Matt O’Riley, who left for Brighton & Hove Albion. However, the deal ultimately didn’t materialize, and Bogusz’s performance against Croatia may have done little to convince Celtic to revive their interest.

Bogusz’s struggles against Croatia’s Josko Gvardiol were evident, and he failed to create any chances or have a shot on goal. His lack of impact was a far cry from his impressive form in the MLS, where he has netted 17 goals in 33 appearances for LAFC.

Despite his disappointing debut, Bogusz’s talent and potential are undeniable. He has finally found his footing in the MLS after a series of unsuccessful loan spells in Spain, and his versatility as a midfielder or forward makes him an attractive prospect for clubs like Celtic.

However, performances like his debut against Croatia will do little to enhance his reputation or convince Celtic to make a move. The Scottish champions need players who can make an immediate impact, and Bogusz’s struggles against Croatia suggest he may not be ready for the step up to European football.

Celtic’s interest in Bogusz was reportedly strong, with a deal worth £8.5million said to be “progressing well” before ultimately falling through. Whether they will return for the midfielder remains to be seen, but Bogusz will need to improve his performances on the international stage to convince them to make another move.

In contrast, Celtic defender Anthony Ralston endured a torrid time against Portugal, struggling to deal with the pace and skill of Rafael Leao. The AC Milan winger caused Ralston problems all night, and the Celtic full-back was forced to play the full 90 minutes despite being booked for a late challenge on Diogo Jota.

Ralston’s struggles against Leao highlighted the disparity in quality between the two players, and Celtic will need to strengthen their defense if they are to compete with the top teams in Europe.

In conclusion, Mateusz Bogusz’s disappointing debut for Poland has raised questions about his readiness for a move to Celtic. While his talent and potential are undeniable, performances like his debut against Croatia will do little to convince the Scottish champions to make a move. Bogusz needs to improve his performances on the international stage to enhance his reputation and attract the interest of top clubs like Celtic.
