Watch Brendan Rodgers’ media conference in Zagreb last night after the goalless draw with Dinamo Zagreb in the Champions League where the Celtic manager is asked a very strangest question…
“If we’re honest as a group we know that there was more there for us there,” Brendan noted, but also made the excellent point that given our experiences as a club in the Champions League, to have nine points after six games in the old format we’d all have been absolutely delighted.
Despite Celtic having so much possessing Kasper Schmeichel was called upon to make a hugely important save late in the game. Brendan talked about how Dinamo defended so deeply to restrict Celtic while the manager accepted that his attacking players weren’t quite at the level last night.
“The players have given everything,” Brendan Rodgers
There’s a bizarre lost in translation moment where the Croatian journalist appears to question the Celtic manager substituting Daizen Maeda, Reo Hatate and Kyogo and wanting to know if that happened because of their nationality. A bemused Brendan Rodgers eventually explained in response that it was tactical and had nothing at all to do with the players being Japanese!
Another Croatian journalist pointed out that Celtic were effectively playing a Dimano B team last night because of their injury situation.
