Bayern Munich VS Celtic: Brendan Rodgers does not want fear in the playoffs of the Champions League | Football news

Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers called on his team to play without fear and not complain about Bayern Munich.

Rodgers’s side traveled to Germany 2-1 down in play-off with the Champions League knockout, but the late goal of Daizen Maeda in Parkhead gave Hoopsa fans a glimmer of hope.

Celtic was first in the knockout for the first time in 12 years, and Rodgers believes that the pressure was excluded in front of their second leg in the Allianz Arena.

Rodgers said, “It’s a challenge at this level. But that’s something we want to accept, that challenge.

“We did very well to get to this point. When you get to this point, you want to play the highest level teams. This is a team that has world class players.

“I think it’s just written to come to this level and you have to play without any fear.

“I think there are worse things in life from the loss of a football game. So, for us, we want to ensure that when we enter after the game, if we do not pass, we have given absolutely everything.

“I’m watching this game and I’m glad to have this group of players who have a great mentality and incredible professionalism and they can go and show it.

“Then we know that we are in a chance as long as you can take that opportunity to give your best. The best. There is always regret if you do not, simply appear too late to play.

“So there is no other chance. We have one chance.

“I see it as a wonderful opportunity. I know that even if we go out after this game, this was a great adventure for us this season and we showed progress at this level. We wanted to do so. We wanted to make sure we had that respectability .

‘Celtic learned lessons from Dortmund’s defeat’

Rodgers believes that Celtics learned the main lessons from his defeat of 7-1 by Borussia Dortmund in the second day of the match.

“In Dortmund game, we persecuted the game,” Rodgers said. “We are early to achieve early, and the lessons were of that. Our plan was stable and stable and compact.

“I think it’s a big learning for us from that game. You’re not tight, you’re not stable, you’re not compact, you’re not concentrated and leaving space for world class players.

“It’s a group sign. We’re a modest group. We stayed and we had really good performances after that.”

Rodgers seems to be the main dilemma of whether to start Maeda or Adam Idah through the middle after the Japanese striker helped change the game with his pressure when he moved inside during his first leg.

This could mean that Jota had started her third game since they returned to Celtic and Rodgers gladly started with Portuguese wings.

“Yes, if we decide we should do it,” he said.

Kane doubts over face injury

Bayern Munich striker Harry Kane sat on Monday afternoon and doubted the Champions League game against Celtic.

The captain of England, who scored a winner at Bayern’s 2-1 legs over the hoops last Wednesday, suffered a face injury at the end of Saturday’s drawing of the Bundesliga dove at Bayer Leverkusen.

Asked about Kane’s availability for Tuesday evening, the second part of the Play-off Nokaut Phase, Chief Coach Vincent Kompany said: “With Harry, it’s not bad, but we don’t have much time to recover.

“Sometimes you need an extra day. But we’ll see Harry feels in the morning. I guess it’s nothing wrong. We didn’t have to recover for a long time.”

When he was later pressed at his press press conference, Belgian said: “I was a little blurred as I said it, whether he was or not. Maybe a little red herring. I can only say that we will only see that we will see (on Tuesday ). “

‘We need to use at home’

Company also suspects sick by Joao Palhinha, but he knows he is expected to be expected to beat, even though the draw would see them passing.

“I’m talking to people here who understand it,” he said. “It’s the same for us as a Celtic. You have to beat every home game and make a difference. It’s the same every week, for us and Celtic.

“When you play against teams that are used to dominating and scoring a lot of goals in your home league, then you have a team that is always dangerous when progressing.

“Celtic showed it, but we did well against them. And we still have to play the other half of this tie. The parameters have not changed. But that is our home foot and we want to use that.”

Company added: “There is a lot of things happening in such a game. We have to be ready for everything, whether it is sitting or pressing it.

“But there is a lot of things that can determine the game. We must be mentally to do the right thing.”
