Stiliyan Petrov expressed his discomfort regarding Celtic supporters’ behavior in comparison to Bayern Munich’s.Celtic’s mental fortitude will be put to the test as they prepare to host Dundee United on Saturday afternoon.
It is now time to focus on domestic competition and the potential to increase Celtic’s 13-point advantage at the summit of the Premiership table, following their 2-1 loss to Bayern Munich in the Champions League.
The Dundee United game is expected to be a one-sided affair, with Brendan Rodgers’ team dominating the ball. This is a well-known fact. Celtic is accustomed to being on the front foot, aggressive, and generating opportunity after opportunity.
However, this was not the case against Bayern Munich. That is a reasonable response, as you are competing against the Bundesliga’s top-ranked team and a team that some are projecting to win the Champions League this season. Stiliyan Petrov acknowledges that he was “uncomfortable” while viewing Celtic vs Bayern Munich.
Before the game began, Celtic fans were in full voice and singing “You’ll Never Walk Alone” throughout Parkhead, as was anticipated by everybody.However, Petrov suspected that the ambiance during the game’s “big periods” was lackluster and not indicative of a typical European night in Glasgow.
According to the former midfielder, Celtic’s defensive strategy was a significant factor in his discomfort, as it is an uncommon occurrence. Petrov acknowledged, “My apprehension regarding Bayern Munich was the methodology.” Celtic commenced their defense, and they continued to delve deeper and deeper.
Celtic does not engage in this activity.It is an activity that places your participants outside of their comfort zone. When you dominate 95% of the domestic games and some of the Champions League performances, you are requiring your players to defend and perform tasks that are unconventional for you. “It is inconformable.”
I am of the opinion that Celtic do not feel at ease with the amount of defense they are required to perform during the game. I believe that they should proceed to engage in a game of football. “You are currently engaged in a game at home.” This is a sentiment that I experienced in conjunction with the followers.
The atmosphere was devoid of excitement for extended periods of the contest. “Typically, Celtic is in the lead, generating opportunities and scoring goals.” However, they were anticipating a transformation in Bayern’s performanceDo you recall the Dortmund horror show? Since then, Celtic have made significant progress, which is evident not only in their results but also in their performances.
Certainly, Celtic required some time to establish themselves; however, when they did, and Daizen Maeda scored, it was evident that Bayern was eagerly anticipating the final siren. Bayern Munich Celtic 43.1% of possession possession: 56.9% 1.34 x G 0.95 x G Nine shots and ten shots 2 shots on target 5 shots on target 468
Total number of passes: 650 Forward passes: 140 Forward passes: 167 Forty-nine long balls 58 successful final third passes and 145 successful final third passes 20 touches in an opp box 30 touches in an opp box However, the host team was able to generate a higher xG than their opponent
, despite the fact that they did not begin to play until the second half. Furthermore, the disparity between Celtic’s 140 forward passes and Bayern’s 167 was not as stark as some believed, despite the negative stance that Rodgers was believed to have taken.
