The American defender put in a dominant display at the heart of the Hoops backline to claim a huge result in Bergamo
Auston Trusty won so many headers in the first half in Bergamo you half expected him to come back out in the second period wearing a crash helmet. The American centre-half was immense at keeping one of Europe’s hottest strike forces at bay for 90 plus minutes in Italy. It was frantic at times and the pressure was relentless at others but Trusty admitted it wasn’t stress he was feeling.
“They had multiple options to try to break us down, but I think overall as a team, we did our jobs. I think that's why we joined this club. It's how to sink or swim. You want to be able to swim in this situation and make the most of it. These are big moments. Trusty admitted that night was on their minds in Italy – but so was the draw with Aberdeen at the weekend where Celts blew a two goal lead. And he reckons that Dons display might have played a part in their Italian job.
“We can't take it easy because our mindset is for the Champions League games and we need to perform at this level. Obviously, the Dortmund game, I don't think anybody in football, or any team, wants that result. “I think you have to come into this game with a lot of respect. You have to respect the team, but also you have to come in with a lot of pride. Your mindset speaks that you can beat anybody and go after anybody. “That's why I joined this club. That mindset speaks for itself.”
