Celtic supporters are currently expressing concern over the team’s performance, longing for the return of the captivating football they enjoyed under former manager Ange Postecoglou.
Liel Abada, the Israeli winger who flourished under Postecoglou, has been unable to replicate his previous form this season following an injury, leaving fans and the team longing for his resurgence.
Celtic’s manager, Brendan Rodgers, has acknowledged the difficulties Abada is facing, attributing some of his struggles to challenges off the pitch. Despite these hurdles, Rodgers emphasized the club’s commitment to supporting and maximizing Abada’s potential.
Rodgers mentioned to Football Scotland, “There’s no question it’s been tough for Liel with the situation off the field. He’s cherished and well-supported here, yet he’s undeniably facing challenges. Achieving peak performance in football demands a positive mindset and being in a good space mentally. We’re dedicated to continually working with him to enhance his contributions on the field. By maintaining open communication and ensuring he feels supported, we’re focused on helping him navigate through this difficult period.”
Once valued at over £10 million and catching the eyes of top European clubs, Abada’s recent seasons have been hampered by injuries and off-field issues, impacting his form and playing time.
Celtic fans are eager for Abada to regain his exceptional form that contributed to 50 goals and 31 assists in his first two seasons, as the team aims to fend off the title challenge from their city rivals.
