Celtic

I admire them as a team, first and foremost because they play football, which I love to see. They did this again last season with their former coach. Brendan Rodgers did a great job at Leicester City, reaching the semi-finals of the Conference League with football that everyone enjoyed watching. I'm waiting for an opponent trying to play football.

Celtic Analysis

I think it's a very well structured team. There is a strong Asian influence in Celtic. They have fast forwards and left wingers also stand out. They play good and organized football. Postecoglu started it and Rodgers continues. Celtic are the only champions in the group other than us, you can only respect that.

Champions League Goals

I think success for us as a club is being in Europe after Christmas. This is our aim. Whatever the competition, as long as we're in Europe after Christmas, we're successful. But anything is possible in the group. We want to be competitive in all games. It's about being competitive, you have to work hard, you have to work very smart and let's see where that perspective takes us.

Team Status

We have a long way to go before I think we'll be where I want us to be, where I'm happy. Our game may look different from last year because maybe we have more dynamism, more flexibility and more movement. However, we want to play according to our DNA, which is aggressive and has belief when attacking.
