The Celtic manager takes his side north to face Aberdeen on Sunday.
Brendan Rodgers has spent the last four years touring Old Trafford, Anfield and the Etihad – but he’s never forgotten the challenge that always awaits at Pittodrie.
“I’ve watched it from a distance, he’s come in and done very well, probably simplified everything for them and got them to a great finish,” said Rodgers. “I’ve spoken to Barry a few times through the off-season. It’ll be a challenging game. They play 3-5-2 , get the ball into the attacking line and look to play from there.“Going to Pittodrie is always a tough game for Celtic. Even when we’ve played well and won there, you’ve got to be right on it to get the result.
Managers simultaneously lead a privileged and charmed existence, living a constant cycle of exhilarating highs, crushing lows, and never enough sleep. Having been around the block several times at a string of top clubs, Rodgers insists his door is forever open. “Even if you’re a number two and are within touching distance, it’s totally different to being the manager – the responsibility, the lack of sleep, it’s a different sport. I always like to have time for managers where I can, whether it’s on the phone or coming into Lennoxtown, or especially speaking after games.
“Of course you think about where you could be at and you plan forward but the focus is purely on the next game and give your all on that.
