Celtic manager took a few members of the written press through his tactics on Tuesday afternoon to get the point across that the attacking philosophy at the club hasn’t changed since last season (RecordSport).
After broadcast press conferences that go on the club’s official YouTube channel, the manager usually speaks to members of the written press. This was once more the case on Tuesday.
Once he had spoken to those from the papers, he is said to have wheeled a 78-inch touchscreen TV into the media room at Lennoxtown. The gaffer ran through a half-hour tactical tutorial where he played clips of goals from last season and the current campaign that were inherently similar.
The purpose of this unusual move was to display that his attacking approach of bringing full-backs inside to create space for wingers to get high and wide and cross for runners -one at the front post and one at the back – is no different, despite widespread consensus, to Ange Postecoglou’s.
Midweek, there were noticeable similarities in the performance and football that was played to the style the Aussie gaffer implemented at Parkhead.
Rodgers’ short lecture came to fruition against Dundee and if future displays can match that of Wednesday’s, Celtic fans can be confident that their team will secure the title.
