Ange Postecoglou has shut down questions about risking it all against Real Madrid with his style of play.
Celtic welcome the Spanish champions and 14-times winners of the European Cup and Champions League to Parkhead for their Group F opener on Wednesday. The Hoops head into it in blistering form, having scored 17 goals and conceded one in their last three games against Dundee United, Ross County and Rangers.
Some have pointed out that continuing to attack the way they do against a team of Madrid’s calibre is a big risk and is asking for trouble. But the Aussie head coach firmly believes that the rewards on offer justify his approach, and asked reporters at his pre-match press conference if they had a system that could guarantee his team wouldn’t come a cropper against the might of Madrid, then he’d be all ears, before stating that one simply didn’t exist.
