Brendan Rodgers demands Celtic transfer reinforcements to land greater blow in future Champions League matches

After acknowledging that Celtic’s 2-1 Champions League victory over Feyenoord meant “everything to us,

” Brendan Rodgers reiterated his intention to add elite players during the January transfer window.

After 16 attempts, the Hoops emerged victorious in Europe’s premier championship thanks to an unlikely

The stunning cross from Matt O’Riley at the back post was headed home by the Swede,

causing chaos in the fans.

Although the game was dubbed a “dead-rubber” before it started,

both teams showed a tremendous desire to win,

with Yankuba Minteh’s driven effort cancelling out Luis Palma’s

first-half penalty before Lagerbielke’s game-winning goal late on.

Although Rodgers was ecstatic to get the “monkey off their back,”

he maintains that next month’s addition of strength and depth in

crucial areas might significantly improve their chances of making a move that

will deal a crushing blow and increase their chances of participating in

the Champions League the following season.

Celtic signed a number of “project players” in the summer,

including Yang Hyun-jun and Odin Thiago Holm,

who aren’t yet ready to be regular first-team players.

“We’ve seen enough over the course in how we’ve played and fought that

if we can strengthen this squad and add quality in key areas,

we can take the confidence from this victory and look to qualify next year and see if we can push on,

” Aaron Rodgers said, acknowledging that the absence of key players had been difficult.

To perform at this level, you need specific attributes.

Yes, you cannot compete at this level without having a deeper roster of superior players.

As I mentioned before the game,

this is a level that can damage confidence whether we win, lose, or draw.

However, you’ll be a better player and have gained invaluable experience when you’re done.

You’re still a really excellent player, and you can get better with some assistance.

We’ve watched games over the years where the equaliser occurs and the other team goes on to win,

so the players demonstrated this year that they’ve learned from the process.

We must give the guys credit for their excellent mentality because of the game.

Although some may have believed that this was a pointless game, to us, it meant everything.

They gave it their all in the game and deserved it, so it feels fantastic to win.”

Another summer addition, Lagerbielke, has had to wait patiently for

his chance to shine after occasionally missing out on matchday teams this season.

Rodgers acknowledged that the Swede’s goal in the 91st minute was

well-earned because of his perseverance and hard work in the gym.

“It was a great moment for him because he hasn’t been involved in many of the squads,” the speaker continued.

Although he has been behind other people in the main,

he has always been prepared and has an excellent approach towards training.

It was rather ironic because after being thrown off in the first game, he now won the second one.

For him, it was a truly pleasant occasion.”
