Sport nationCeltic’s Dazzling Form Sparks Fear in Croatia Ahead of Dinamo Zagreb Clash
Celtic’s scintillating 5-0 victory over Ross County on Saturday has sent shockwaves throughout Croatia, with the nation’s media outlets lavishing praise on Brendan Rodgers’ side.
The Croatian press has been abuzz with excitement, describing Celtic as “a firecracker” after their emphatic win. Sportske, a prominent Croatian sports publication, noted, “Dinamo’s next opponent in the Champions League suffered a ‘firecracker’, in the first half. A new easy victory in the Scottish Premiership was achieved by Celtic, who defeated Ross County 5-0 at home in the 14th round.”
Telesport, another Croatian media outlet, echoed these sentiments, stating, “Although the weak Ross County may not be an authoritative opponent, Celtic have already shown a handful of times this season that they have a serious attacking arsenal and a solid defence. In 13 games played, the team scored 40 and conceded only four goals. This is by far the best league ratio.”
These glowing assessments will undoubtedly serve as a warning to Dinamo Zagreb ahead of their Champions League encounter with Celtic next Wednesday. Rodgers’ side has been in imperious form, with their recent results sparking fear throughout Croatia.
A statistical analysis of both teams’ form this season reveals a stark contrast. Celtic have played 21 games, winning 17, drawing three, and losing only one, with an impressive goal tally of 64 and a mere 17 conceded. In contrast, Dinamo Zagreb have played 23 games, winning 11, drawing six, and losing six, with 45 goals scored and 39 conceded.
As Celtic prepare to face Dinamo Zagreb, the Croatian media’s admiration for Rodgers’ side is palpable. With Celtic’s attacking prowess and solid defence, they will undoubtedly pose a formidable challenge to their Croatian opponents.
