Rodgers was seriously prevented: a deep immersion at the exit of the Celtic Champions League

The Daily Mail has highlighted the use of substitutes in the ties of the Champions League last week, noting that Celtic used less than any of the other 15 teams involved.

Far Bayern Munich Brendan Rodgers turned to his bank only twice despite having 10 field options available.

In the time of the time, shortly after being loud, Jota was replaced by Adam Idah, the extreme was never expected to complete 90 minutes due to its limited game time from its January return to Celtic.

In the 69th minute, shortly after scoring, Nicolas Kuhn hit, forcing him with Yang Hyun-Jun taking his place.

Despite the intensity of the party, no more substitutes were used, Confidential mail Information:

What is clear is that Rodgers simply did not trust what he had in his bank. Although their players were pointed out in the final stages as extra time, they made only two substitutions, presenting Adam Idah and Yang-Hyun-Jun.

Since the manager had to fill his bank with young people like Dane Murray and Jude Bonnar, his options in a game of this magnitude were too limited.

The idea that men like Rodgers set out to point to their Paymasters in such circumstances is evidently ridiculous. They will always play the best hand they have to try to win the game.

But a look at the other seven play-off games that take place last week illustrates that Rodgers was seriously prevented by the lack of options ready for the first team in his bank. The PSV Eindhoven and Juventus made six substitutions, since their link in the Netherlands was extra time.

Real Madrid, PSG, Brest, Atalanta, Borussia Dortmund and Sporting Lisbon made five. Benfica, Monaco and AC Milan made four. Manchester City, Club Brugge and Feyenoord did three.

It is a game of 16 men these days: make 17 if you are going at full distance. Celtic cannot afford to enter so light next season and wait to progress.

Stephen McGowan was not involved in the confidentiality of this week’s mail.

Celtic did not have the injured duo of Paulo Bernardo and James Forrest, two players who had 10 substitute appearances in the Champions League this season in his name, but the options on the bank were still light.

No one expects to see the quality substitutes that Vincent Kompany can resort, but increasing quality depth will be a priority during the summer transfer window.

If they continue to win the title of the Premier League of SPFL, Celtic will face a two -legged play at the end of August to return to the new appearance, expanded in the group stage of the Champions League.

In the bank against Bayern Viljami Sinisalo, Scott Bain, Maik Nawrocki, Murray and Bain have not started a Spfl match this season. Stephen Welsh and Luis Palma lent themselves in January, both players only started a SPFL this season before leaving.
