Mike Tullberg, head coach at FC Midtjylland, spoke to the media today ahead of tomorrow evening’s Europa League match at their 12k capacity MCH Arena against Celtic…
Tullberg, who was as a player once on the books at Hearts, has his team in a winning groove, as the three wins from three Europa League games indicates.
“Winning games is what it’s about,” he said. “There’s no one out there who’s going to sit back in any way. We haven’t won anything. We’re in a good place right now, but no more than that. I don’t think there should be much doubt that we try to get the most out of our work every single day,” UEFA.com report.
He notes that Celtic have made changes on the managerial front, with Brendan Rodgers and John Kennedy being replaced by Martin O’Neill and Shaun Maloney and with that a different set of problems for the Midtjylland head coach to contemplate.
He reckons that in Martin O’Neill Celtic has “brought a new energy” before the sides go head to head in the Europa League. he’s been watching Sunday’s Premier Sports Cup win over theRangers and describes Celtic as now “looking more lively” than was previously the case.
“I think the biggest difference is the energy and the power. Sometimes it is like this when you change the gaffer, if you’re struggling a little bit, then it sometimes releases some energy, and I think we saw that with two wins,” Tullberg said, as reported by BBC.
“So I’m pretty sure it’s going to be a tough match for us tomorrow evening.
“They took in a legend, not only in the club, but in the country as well, so we’re aware of that. Of course it’s a manager who has seen a lot, and done a lot, with a lot of experience.
“So they will come over here to try to get a better position in the Europa League, but we are thinking about our team and not speaking so much about our opponent.”
Here’s FC Midtjylland most impressive win of the three in their Europa League campaign so far. The 3-2 win at the City Ground against Nottingham Forest…
