Celtic supporters think that Brendan Rodgers’ remarks following their humiliation in the Champions League demonstrate why he would never be considered a “elite” coach.
On Tuesday, October 1, Borussia Dortmund defeated the Hoops 7-1, despite a goal from Daizen Maeda in the game’s ninth minute.
Regardless of the final score, Celtic adhered to their game plan the entire time, but Rodgers said at the press conference that he wouldn’t have made any different decisions if he had known the result.
No, not really, he replied. I believe we entered the game with a lot of confidence because the team had been playing so well, which made us feel extremely good.
After winning their opening Champions League match 5-1, Celtic had been flying high until their midweek loss, which dropped them to 19th in the standings.
Fans were incensed by Rodgers’ post-game analysis, which led some to conclude that he was “deluded.”
The Champions League under Brendan Rodgers’ leadership infuriated Celtic supporters.
The hoops supporters said that it was “utterly embarrassing” and that they had no idea why the team had brought him back.
