The Hoops boss wowed fans with the fly on the wall footage of his team talk at Parkhead last season
The fly on the wall footage inside the Celtic dressing room showed Brendan Rodgers at his inspirational best. His rally call helped fire the Hoops over the finishing line as they wrapped up a Premiership and Scottish Cup Double. But Paulo Bernardo reckons that message means even more in the Champions League . Celtic have to make their home Hell for sides coming to Glasgow if the are to make it Paradise in this competition.
Sure, Borussia Dortmund, Atalanta, Aston Villa and Dinamo Zagreb will be tough on the their travels. But the new-look format and the home draws has opened the door, and the Rodgers’s mantra has never been more appropriate. “We always try to push the fans with us because it's always easier if the fans are with us and they don't boo us. It's better for us that we are all together and they can push us to the victory.”
“I tried to do my best and it was a good moment for me. We lost but it was a very good step in my career and a debut in the Allianz Arena, that’s always nice. Lewandowski was probably the biggest star. That showed me the level, for sure. It's a different level – I dream about that and I hope I can achieve it too.”
“I always dreamed about this competition and I'm here to experience and to live that. It was really important for me that I could have some minutes in those games. It really helped me develop and it was a great experience too. It wasn't just an experience, it was good for my development.
