Deal done :Celtic have completed the transfer of £21,000-a-week striker with 60 goals – Who’s a free agent

Brendan Rodgers addressed Celtic fans’ dissatisfaction with his decision to substitute Tomoki Iwata during Sunday’s match against Motherwell.

In his first game back since December,

Iwata performed admirably in midfield until he was substituted by Paulo Bernardo in the 77th minute,

with the game tied at 1-1. This play, intended to secure a win,

was met with boos from a large number of away fans, which Rodgers found odd.

Rodgers did not mince words about the incident at his press conference ahead of the Dundee encounter on Wednesday.

He emphasized the need of tactical changes, particularly in today’s longer games, saying,

“It’s very important, especially when you get booed for taking off a defender and putting on an attacker.

“”It seemed odd. But I think it’s vital. The game is now 90-plus minutes long, with games lasting 95 or 100 minutes,

so your bench is crucial. “Having the depth to bring players in and make an impact was critical.

“Rodgers, remarking on the crowd’s reaction, stressed the bigger ramifications for the squad and the player being presented,

telling Celtic YouTube, “It doesn’t really matter to me. It’s more for the new player and the team.

I believe it is a negative reaction that I do not fully comprehend. You’re 1-1 in the game,

you replace a defensive midfielder with an offensive guy who has scored goals this season,

and you get booed. It really seems funny, yet the players’ mentality on the field was excellent.

They continued going and fighting, and all of their outstanding work,

especially in the second half in terms of tiring the opponent out,

led to theHe also talked on how the mood in the stands may permeate the pitch,

potentially hurting the team’s performance. “It is not limited to Celtic;

it applies to any club. What do you think will happen if that bad feeling spreads from the stands to the pitch?

You will have nervous players, which will cause the game to seem different.

Positive reactions and support are similar to real-life situations.

If you get that support and the sense that people are rooting for you,

you’ll have a better chance of succeeding.”
