Brendan Rodgers won the Premiership as a way to commemorate St Patrick’s Day. However, the Celtic manager is hoping that his players will have some of the Irish team’s success when they travel for international assignments.
Before the Ibrox team’s match in Dundee today, before the break for national duty, Rodgers was ecstatic that his Celtics had destroyed St Johnstone 3-1 to go one point clear of Rangers. Rodgers acknowledged that he is hoping that all of the Celts’ important players return unscathed.
Depending on how Rangers play Dundee tomorrow, his team may drop to the top spot, but Rodgers says he won’t be watching the outcome because it will be a day of celebration. “Tomorrow is St. Patrick’s Day, and the Irish community around the world will be celebrating,” he said to Sky Sports. Other outcomes won’t pique my attention. All we can do is what we did today, which was our job. Tomorrow will be a nice day for us.”
“After a few days of work, the guys will train hard and well, and we’ll have a bounce game that will give some of the guys a chance to get some game time,” he continued. After a little period of recuperation, everyone will be back together. Both Liel Abada and Reo Hatate (who was serving overseas) were lost. Major players who have an impact on you.
Let’s hope they all return well and we have a formidable team. I only had a conversation with Gregg (Berhalter) from the US squad. We had a stimulating conversation. Naturally, this is the case with Cam, who has been out for a while. My concern was that he would disappear and play in a few games when their major games are scheduled for later in June. After a fruitful conversation, it was determined that he would stay behind, work for us, and try to stay healthy for the remainder of the season.
“I respect that players want to play for their country, but you also have to always respect the job that international managers do.” Hopefully, they can all
Although Rodgers has a stressful next two weeks ahead of him, he was happy to end the game in style, with Kyogo and Nicolas Kuhn scoring brilliant goals against St Johnstone, James Forrest adding a third goal, and Connor Smith providing a late consolation. “I think you are starting to see a little bit of why we brought Kuhn here,” the Hoops gaffer remarked. He moves quite quickly. He was having difficulty with his teeth and other medical issues when he first arrived, so it was difficult for him. However, he has recently demonstrated that he is training really well and has regained his strength.
Rodgers brought Kyogo back into the starting lineup, and the Japan international looked back to his best with a goal and an assist as well as TWO attempts that were disallowed for offside. “He obviously puts in a great cross for the first goal and you see his speed for the second one. We always want our wingers to get in the box. He got himself in there and scored a fantastic goal,” the manager said.
They require rivalry. However, I felt he was intelligent today and had nice movement. Accurate. At the first goal, he showed great bravery. Some strikers might have moved their heads out of the way to allow the keeper to get through, but he didn’t, and he scored the goal. He makes a run and comes back onside. And for the second one, it was an excellent cross. He was quite good.
“I felt there was a terrific vibe in the stadium and among the spectators right from the beginning of the game. The players got off to a great start in the game, and I thought they did a great job overall.
Given how many aggressive moments we had in the game, the fact that there were so many VAR rulings is also a testament to the team. It’s encouraging that there were several gaming elements to consider in that regard. We produced a lot, and I thought the three points were excellent.
