Sport nationGuillem Balague Questions Brendan Rodgers’ Trustworthiness After Celtic’s Surprise Draw Against Atalanta
Spanish football expert Guillem Balague has cast doubt on Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers’ reliability after the team’s impressive defensive performance against Atalanta in the Champions League.
Rodgers had initially insisted that his team wouldn’t change their approach following a 7-0 thrashing by Borussia Dortmund. However, Celtic surprisingly adopted a more defensive strategy against Atalanta, securing a valuable draw.
Balague told Match of the Day: “Brendan Rodgers said he wouldn’t change, but he did. That’s why you should never trust what managers say before or after games. Rodgers’ defensive tactics worked against Atalanta, the top goalscorers in Serie A.”
Rodgers later reflected on the game, emphasizing his commitment to learning and growth: “I’ll learn until my last breath… The Borussia Dortmund defeat allowed us to springboard forward and learn from it.”
Celtic’s unexpected result has revitalized hopes for their Champions League campaign.
Key Points:
- Celtic drew 0-0 with Atalanta in the Champions League
- Brendan Rodgers initially claimed he wouldn’t change tactics
