Celtic boss Ange Postecoglou believes that the playstyle of Bodo/Glimt defies the wisdom around budgets. They won their second consecutive Norwegian League title and remained unbeaten in the group stages of the Europa League. The highlight of their campaign was their 6-1 thrashing of Jose Mourinho’s Roma side. Ahead of their match in the knockouts. Postecoglou was impressed with their opponents.
“Not just good results,” Celtic boss Ange Postecoglou said. “From my perspective, I like to look at football through a different prism and see how teams play more than anything else, and yeah, their football is fantastic. Not just in Europe but domestically as well. They have a really exciting group of players who have bought into this style of football, which is great to see. Often in all leagues around the world, even here in Scotland, sometimes we talk about teams with lower budgets playing a certain way but you don’t have to, you know? You don’t have to.”
“It is always an interesting one as there are both positives and negatives,” he added. “I think the fact that they have the same manager and play the same way – yes they have lost four players from their line-up from last year but have replaced them like for like in terms of the style. Sometimes it can be a bit disjointed in pre-season, I don’t think that was going to happen with what we have seen of them in pre-season games, they still look a very good team and it will be a good challenge for us.”
